We chat with TransformersRiseoftheBeasts producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura about expanding the Transformers franchise, casting Pete Davidson, and more:
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is out on digital platforms now, bringing the Autobots, Terrorcons, and Maximals to small screens around the world. The film was lauded as a continued return to form for the Transformers franchise following 2018’s soft reboot Bumblebee, and excited fans of the 1990s animated series Beast Wars: Transformers by bringing Optimus Primal, Cheetor, Rhinox, and Airazor into live-action for the first time.
Lorenzo di Bonaventura on Transformers: Rise of the Beasts Screen Rant: I know you spoke with Screen Rant before [Transformers: Rise of the Beasts] came out. Now that it’s out, I’ve seen a lot of posts from very happy fans. How do you feel? I saw an interview with your director, Steven Caple Jr., where he was asked about Rattrap, and he was talking about how he was sad that character couldn't make the movie. He said there were a few others that hurt him to leave out.
[In] the process of making the film, ideas do get pushed aside in part because there's just not enough time for them all. One of the things that’s always interesting on the DVDs are the scenes that have been cut out. They're not always cut out because they weren't that great; they're often cut out because the movie had too much at that moment, or it slowed the movie [down] too much at that moment.
We had a scene that got cut out, actually, where Optimus Prime rammed our bad guy when he was in truck form, and you go through a wall, so it was a big stunt. It just turned out we didn't need it, so it doesn't end up in the movie, but at that day, you're sitting there and that's almost your whole day--just making sure that one thing is safe before you do it.
