More About Transformers: Rise of the Beasts
Screen Rant's exclusive clip, part of the Digital release's special features, offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse into Transformers: Rise of the Beasts from the perspective of its creative team. Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura discusses their aim to do something even more unique than their previous film Bumblebee. Director Steven Caple Jr. delves into his process, emphasizing the importance of real human stories to establish a connection with audiences in a large-scale movie like this. He further adds that incorporating a piece of himself into his films helps create a sense of realism in fantastical movies like Transformers.
Transformers films have always been known for their highly extravagant action sequences and grand scale. Caple Jr. correctly points out that finding a balance is crucial for viewers to truly engage with the material. If a movie solely revolves around destruction and fight scenes, it lacks the emotional depth necessary for viewers to become invested. Fans will get a firsthand experience of Steven Caple Jr.'s work when Transformers: Rise of the Beasts releases digitally.
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts will arrive on Digital on July 11 and 4K Ultra HD SteelBook™, 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray™, and DVD on October 10th.
