Transformers: High Moon – What We Know So Far
The animated film will take place on Cybertron and is a prequel that “will explore the origin of the heroic Megatron and the seeds of conflict between the harmony-seeking Autobots and domination-loving Decepticons,” according to the Hollywood Reporter.
The animated prequel film is directed by Toy Story 4’s Josh Cooley. The script was written by screenwriting partners Andrew Barrer and Gabriel Ferrari, best known for Marvel Studios’ Ant-Man franchise.
The film sounds like it is in good hands since Cooley won the Best Animated Feature Academy Award in 2020 for Toy Story 4
. He was also nominated for the Best Original Screenplay Oscar for 2015’s Inside Out.
The last animated Transformers: The Movie was released in 1986 and the science fiction action film was based on the Transformers television series at the time. The movie was co-produced and directed by Nelson Shin, who also produced the television series.
Transformers: The Movie follows the Autobots as they defend themselves against the Decepticons and their new leader, Galvatron, who is created by the evil planet-eating Transformer Unicron. The movie features the voices of several well-known actors, including Judd Nelson, Leonard Nimoy, and Orson Welles in his final role.
Although the movie was not a commercial success at the time of its release, it has since gained a cult following and is considered by many fans to be a classic of 1980s animation.
The Transformers live-action film franchise consists of six movies, all directed by Michael Bay.
The first movie, Transformers, was released in 2007 and introduced the Autobots and Decepticons to a new generation of fans. It was followed by Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen in 2009, Transformers: Dark of the Moon in 2011, Transformers: Age of Extinction in 2014, Transformers: The Last Knight in 2017.
