Rise of the Beasts Director Featurette, Three TV Spots and Massive Spoiler

Here are more videos promoting Transformers: Rise of the Beasts which hits theaters next Friday on June 9. The first video is a feature as director Steven Caple Jr. talks about his vision for the film. The next three videos are more TV spots for the films, each with a little snippet of new footage. Thanks to Feris O. for the links.

The last video in a brief interview with producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura comes with a significant SPOILER WARNING as it reveals a character not seen or mentioned in any of the promotions up to this point. I don't really recommend watching the video at all if want to enjoy the reveal when see the movie in theaters but up to you. Just don't say you were not warned.

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts World Premiere, Reboot Confirmation and TV Spot

Turns out that Transformers: Rise of the Beasts held its world premiere in Singapore on Friday with the human cast, producers and directors on hand. An advantage of being voice actors is usually do not have to participate as much in promotional part of movies which is why so many celebs are pounce on those roles (whether should get cast in them or not but that is off topic). The US premiere party is may be happening in New York on June 5th. If interested in seeing pics from the world premiere click here.

Rise of the Beasts Director Steven Caple Jr. is making the promotional rounds and one of them was a 45 minute interview with Alfonso Nation YouTube Channel (video below). They covered a wide range of topics about making the film, working with the actors, Bay, the characters, and much more. Worth giving it a listen since its a Transformers fan asking a Transformers director questions versus most interviews where its clear the reporter is going through the motions or trying to get info on various celebs and knows nothing about the topic at hand.

Specific to this interview is Caple Jr. confirms that Bumblebee and Rise of the Beasts are a reboot, saying, "Its a reboot for sure. That's all I can say without spoiling." and not a continuation of the Bayverse. This isn't a surprise since Bumblebee movie had contradicted Bayverse continuity multiple times and now Rise is bringing in Unicron while the last Bayverse movie had just hinted at the character for later use. The producers danced around it for whatever reason but nice to get official confirmation that Bayverse is its own continuity and now 'Bee and Rise are hopefully the start of a new continuity (hopefully means Megatron and other A-list Decepticons are in play again).

Last, here is a new TV spot for the movie that will hit theaters on June 9th.

New Transformers: Rise of the Beast TV Spot Shows Off Scorpnok

A new TV spot for Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is out. This one introduces Scorpnok as a character. If the name seems familiar, its because he was used in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. The use here makes sense as was part of orginial Beast Wars' Predacon line-up. While not named, the use of the character in a Rise of the Beasts two-pack pretty much gave away that he was in the movie.
