Following the first four Transformers films, a large team of writers was assembled to help make the franchise expand, including names like Robert Kirkman (The Walking Dead) and Steven S. DeKnight (Marvel’s Daredevil).
However, another of those names, Akiva Goldsman (Winter’s Tale, A Beautiful Mind, I Am Legend, Batman & Robin) was a leader in the room of writers looking to expand the Transformers series. Goldsman is quoted as saying the following on his experience working with the other writers:
“The room was honestly as delightful an experience as I’ve had. When you have a bunch of people who you respect, who are smart and talented, all trying to help each other figure stuff out, it’s good whether you’re all in a car heading across country for a road trip, or a writer’s room.”
While the aim is to make the films feel both ‘interconnected and standalone), they will use some of the same ideas the first four films used- particularly the human element. Goldsman had the following to say on the human element:
“Fundamentally, there seems to be something really great about the interaction between the two species, [humans and Transformers]. I think that, in the main, I would suggest that would be something you wouldn’t want to squander. That doesn’t mean that you couldn’t do all sorts of things for a little while. The prequel animated film that’s in continuity with these movies will do just that, in fact. It takes place before Optimus and Megatron ever come to Earth.”

Rumours have been circling for months that Chris Pine (Star Trek, Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit) would be cast in DC’s upcoming Wonder Woman film, likely as the title characters boyfriend Steve Trevor.
While he didn’t confirm the character he will be playing, Pine has finally revealed that he has indeed been cast in Wonder Woman.
Pine is quoted as saying the following:
“I’m super excited, of course, Gal Gadot is super talented, Patty Jenkins will perform, and we will shoot in film … What excites me most is to turn in a movie with a superhero woman. With a woman in the lead role. I am a team with this intelligent, beautiful and strong [woman] to destroy the wicked and save humanity. The routine, whatever.”
We’ll have to wait for official details on the character he’ll be playing, though rumours are bound to persist that he will play Steve Trevor.
