Tranformers fans, rejoice! It looks like the franchise's first spin-off has finally gotten a director. In a report by Deadline, it has been confirmed that Travis Knight of Kubo and the Two Strings will oversee the project.
The Oscar-nominated director is set to make his first live-action debut with the title. Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg are attached to direct the project. The script was penned by Christina Hodson.
So far, there is little know about the spin-off venture, but fans can expect it to focus squarely on the vibrant yellow Transformer. During a recent set visit by Collider, the site asked how many other bots were expected to appear in the film. Producer Lorenzo Di Bonaventura said he didn't see that number being very big for now.
You can check out the synopsis for the next Transformers movie below:
"The Last Knight shatters the core myths of the Transformers franchise, and redefines what it means to be a hero. Humans and Transformers are at war, Optimus Prime is gone. The key to saving our future lies buried in the secrets of the past, in the hidden history of Transformers on Earth. Saving our world falls upon the shoulders of an unlikely alliance: Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg); Bumblebee; an English Lord (Sir Anthony Hopkins); and an Oxford Professor (Laura Haddock).
There comes a moment in everyone's life when we are called upon to make a difference. In Transformers: The Last Knight, the hunted will become heroes. Heroes will become villains. Only one world will survive: theirs, or ours."
