The next Transformers film will be an animated prequel

The director and Oscar winner Josh Cooley (Toy Story 4) has been hired to head the production of the new animated feature set in the world of Transformers, the popular Hasbro toys.

Hasbro Entertainment and Paramount have decided to produce an animated film for the big streen that will tell the story of the beginning of the war between Autobots and Decepticons. A film that will not be linked to the five live-action blockbusters directed by Michael Bay nor to the latest spin-off dedicated to Bumblebee.

The story will be set on the planet of Cybertron and will tell the past of the protagonists of the two factions, Optimus Prime and Megatron, a past only mentioned in the previous films.

The script is written by Andrew Barrer and Gabriel Ferrari (Ant-Man and the Wasp), while the production is curated by Lorenzo Bonaventura and Mark Vahradian.

An excellent idea of the studios, in a time when any other film production is currently stopped almost all over the world, while animation productions can also be staged with artists located anywhere in the world.

We will have more information soon.
