Transformers 5 – The Last Knight: Mark Wahlberg, “Cade is just trying to do what’s right”

sivertime — Wed, 28 Jun 2017 20:34:40 +0000

Cade Yeager is back in Transformers 5: The Last Knight! And he is again incarnated by Mark Wahlberg, who kindly answered some of our questions!
And yes, it happened, with its shiny robots and action scenes full of noise and fury! Transformers 5: The Last Knight has landed today in our dark rooms, bringing with him his sympathetic Autobots but with well-tempered characters (eh, Hound?), His Decepticons much less warm and his human heroes tossed as their Dantesques clashes . And, above all, this fifth installment allows us to plunge into the mythology of the Transformers – which is one of the reasons to go see the film ! – by telling us their past, from the time of King Arthur to the present day through the Second World War. Fortunately, in the midst of all this and all this unbridled action, there is Cade Yeager, the hero of the previous opus, back to save the world . Literally. Mark Wahlberg takes up the role of the inventor, confronted with a universe that he has tame but whose mysteries he still does not know. On the occasion of the release of Transformers 5: The Last Knight , the editor of melty was able to talk with the actor on this second experience in the saga!
Transformers, mark wahlberg, cade yeager
Cade must save the world with the help of the Autobots!
This is the second Transformers movie you make. What convinced you to come back?
Michael Bay! The first time I worked with Michael Bay, it was on the movie No Pain No Gain and I had a great time. We had enjoyed working together, so he asked me if I wanted to join him and play in the next Transformers . We shot The Age of Extinction and after that we made The Last Knight .
What was your experience of filming, compared to the previous Transformers? Has it been very different?
Yeah, well, I mean, I knew what to expect. I knew it was going to be even bigger, harder. You know, I was getting older, and it was physically more demanding. Michael Bay likes to be really involved, to do stunts and stuff. But I knew what to expect.
You’ve worked with Michael Bay three times now. Did your collaboration evolve during these three films?
Yes, of course, now we know each other well. He trusts me completely and I have total confidence and faith in him. He lets me do a little what I want to develop my character and to own it. We understand each other very easily, he just has to take a look at me and I know that means that I can let go.
You said that Michael Bay wanted you to do some of your stunts yourself. Can you give us some examples?
Everything we do in the film, we do it partly ourselves at one time or another. We have harnesses, spinning-rooms, I also made this waterfall with the drone that flies … All that, we do it.
In Transformers 4, Cade was motivated by the idea of protecting her daughter. Now that she’s gone, what motivates her? How has his relationship with the Autobots changed?
His faith in Optimus has not faltered, even if Optimus has gone over to the dark side. And I think he’s always motivated by the idea that whatever he does he does for his daughter and for good reasons. Let him do what is right. I think for him to go on the run and leave his daughter behind was for his own good, so that she could reintegrate into society and live a normal life. And when he finds himself projected into this whole new universe, he tries above all simply to do what is right. He is a very noble guy but he also prides himself on being smart and respected. And when he finds herself projected in all these different situations with the character of Laura [Haddock], it gets really funny. What do you think of the character of Mark Wahlberg?

Transformers 5 – The Last Knight: Mark Wahlberg and the Autobots ready to fight on the first official photos

sivertime — Wed, 03 May 2017 15:52:12 +0000

Because we know that you are too excited to discover Transformers 5: The Last Knight in the movies, we share with you the first official photos of the film.
On June 28th, the Transformers saga will be back with Transformers 5: The Last Knight and all the ingredients that have made the success of the franchise so far: explosions in abundance, scenes of mass destruction, battles between Autobots and Decepticons, Giant ships, heroes and badass girls! But this fifth component will also be very different and that is why we expect it as much. Yes, while in Transformers 4, Cade Yeager (Mark Walhberg) could rely on Optimus Prime, the latter is this time the cause of all his worries. The leader of the Autobots has indeed gone over to the dark side of the Force and decided to declare war on Earth, as we saw in the final trailer of Transformers 5: The Last Knight . Fortunately, Cade could still count on Bumblebee, as well as a British Lord named Sir Edmund Burton, played by Anthony Hopkins , and an Oxford professor (Laura Haddock). And he will clearly need it because this war promises to be destructive! But we do not worry too much about Cade Yeager. One only has to see it in full action on the first official photos of the film to see that the hero is him.
The second official photo of Transformers 5: The Last Knight highlights a new ally for the Autobots. We have already seen this last in a first excerpt with Izabella (Isabela Moner) , a girl with a strong character and courage to resell. In this excerpt, Izabella and a group of children flee what looks like a drone, in the streets of Chicago. The band then finds refuge under a heap of rubble which actually turns out to be … an Autobot stayed there since the end of the war and which ended up blending into the scenery ! So far we have not heard too much about it, this Autobot whose name we do not know intrigues us. It is not yet clear what will be his role in this new war, but one thing is certain, This Autobot will be there to protect Izabella, Cade and Company and surely fight against Optimus Prime, alongside Bumblebee, other Autobots and Dinobots. And you what do you think ?

Transformers 5 The Last Knight: The Secret History of Autobots Teased in a New Video

sivertime — Mon, 10 Apr 2017 16:37:21 +0000

A new video of Transformers 5: The Last Knight was unveiled, teasing the history of the Autobots on Earth. And obviously, they did not work!
This week, fans of the Transformers saga have been spoiled as it’s no less than 24 minutes from the next installment, Transformers 5: The Last Knight, that have been unveiled ! And it was thus discovered that this fifth strand would bring us back a long time, especially in the time of King Arthur. Yes, you have heard, we will discover that Arthur and his knights of the Round Table would in reality not have won some of their greatest victories without the help of the … Autobots! And yet, it is nothing, because according to the character of Anthony Hopkins , aka Sir Edmund Burton, they have been helping humanity for nearly 1000 years and have been among all the great battles of history . So it was not the United States that helped us win the Second World War, but they! This is in any case what is proved by a new video of the film that unveils several photos and press clippings on these ancient wars and which clearly have one thing in common: the Autobots.
In any case, in this fifth chapter, the History of the whole world will clearly be an integral part of the plot. Just the title, The Last Knight , refers to King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. And this famous “last knight” would be none other than Cade Yaeger (Mark Wahlberg). Now, it remains to be seen why the Transformers are still coming back to Earth from the dawn of time , as Edmund Burton asks Cade in the revealed 24 minutes of Transformers 5: The Last Knight, which will be the last film in the saga Directed by Michael Bay . We look forward to it, just like what happened to Optimus Prime since the end of Transformers 4. Definitely, this fifth will be a story of origin, our world, But also that of the Autobots. The wait will last until 28 June. And you what do you think ?

Transformers 5 The Last Knight: 24 unreleased minutes unveiled!

sivertime — Fri, 07 Apr 2017 15:39:11 +0000

At an exceptional event, 24 unprecedented minutes of Transformers 5: The Last Knight were unveiled to hundreds of fans. Here is a summary of what we saw.
Being a fan of something, it’s still good! And it is not those of the saga Transformers that will contradict us. This week, Paramount studios have organized events in several cities, including Paris, around Transformers 5: The Last Knight for fans of the franchise. And beware, it was not about any events! In reality, it is almost 25 minutes of videos and unpublished images that the studios have presented , history to make us better acquainted with the two new heroines of this opus, namely the young Izabella (Isabela Moner) and Vivian Wembley (Laura Haddock). And to introduce us also some new Autobots! Fortunately for those who could not attend this event, the editor of melty, who was present, is there to give you a little recap ‘of the content of this long video. After a short filmed introduction of Michael Bay, whose Transformers 5: The Last Knight should be the last film in the saga as a director, we were immediately immersed in action. Warning, spoilers!
And we began by making a jump in time since we found ourselves projected in the days of Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. Plunged into battle, the king and his men wait for Merlin – who obviously has a reputation for alcohol – who is late. It must be said that the magician, a bottle in his hand, wanders a little in the mountain where he discovers … sorts of spears coming obviously from Cybertron . And somewhat disturbing detail, these are covered with blood. But before we could learn more about it, we were sent to the space where we found Optimus Prime, drifting into the dark immensity while claiming forgiveness from its creators. And these images are almost the only ones we have seen from the leader of the Autobots. Transformers,
Following the video we were taken to the destroyed streets of Chicago where a group of children was hunted down by warlike robots. Fortunately, Izabella and Sqweeks, the new little Autobot, are there to save them ! If you’ve seen the excerpt from Transformers 5: The Last Knight, in which Izabella is saved by an Autobot , then you know what we’re talking about. It is clear that the girl has close ties with the machines coming from space. Cade Yaeger (Mark Wahlberg) arrives with Bumblebee to help the children.
Cade, moreover, who is clearly not at the end of his troubles! Because in another excerpt, while he is chased by strange drones, he crosses the path of Cogman , a new Autobot, a kind of mix in C-3PO and K-2SO with sharp tongue and amazing reflexes. His mission is to lead Cade to Sir Edmund Burton, a historian versed in the history of the Transformers and their interactions with the Earth played by Anthony Hopkins and who resides in a huge mansion. And this one has some big revelations to make us! But before that, comes an Autobot in the form of a vehicle which ejects a young woman visibly shaken. This one is none other than Vivian Wembley, also historian, that Edmund hopes to see team with Cade in order to … to save the world. Cade would have been chosen by the medalist Transformers who owns Edmund Burton, who wraps around his arm, proof that our hero is indeed a kind of elected. But more intriguing yet, the Edmund mansion is actually built around the famous Round Table! And the old historian asks this question very pertinent to Cade: why do the Transformers always return to Earth since the dawn of time?
The following images brought us back to the past, where Arthur and his Knights clink to victory and a fruitful alliance with … three immense Autobots holding swords. Proof that machines from space have to be linked to humanity from time immemorial. The end of the video then offered us a sequence of images and extracts all more impressive than the others. We saw Autobots confronting Decepticons, Transformers emerging from the water, ships crashing on Earth and Cade, Vivian and Izabella caught in the midst of a huge battle. In short, a real maelstrom of images that ended however on a passage that should shock the biggest fans of the saga: Bumblebee and Optimus Prime colliding violently during a tough fight . What to remind us once again that Optimus Prime has changed a lot, like a poster of Transformers 5: The Last Kinght had teased us … These few excerpts of the film, if they did not allow us to learn Much more about his plot, however demonstrated one thing: this fifth opus appears visually very impressive and plans to extend greatly the mythology of the saga . The first feature film to have been filmed in IMAX 3D, Transformers 5: The Last Knight promises to put our eyes full! Are you eager to see the film?

Transformers, The Last Knight: The Last for Michael Bay?

sivertime — Fri, 10 Feb 2017 18:32:14 +0000

Like every time, Michael Bay assures us that this Transformers 5: The Last Knight will mark his last participation in the franchise. But this time, he seems really decided.
Imagine Transformers the movie without Michael Bay is like thinking about his Alain Afflelou no, that’s impossible. Just because the director has literally carried the franchise since the release of the first film in 2007, conceptualizing and staging all the opus until today. And Transformers 5: The Last Knight, which was revealed a little more during the Super Bowl thanks to a trailer full of action, is no exception. In short, we can say that Michael Bay is the father of the license, the one without which this one could never take off and attract so many people in the dark rooms. But all this could well change! Because the director obviously intends to hang up after the release of this Transformers 5 to leave room for other directors . There, you say to yourself: ” He makes us the same blow every time .” And it is true that Michael Bay has, with each new opus, declared that it would not do more others. Except that there, his decision seems definitely final!
On his website, Michael Bay posted this message, which says a lot about his new resolution. He writes, ” It’s very bitter for me.” In every Transformers movie, I said it would be the last, I see the 120 million fans around the world going to see these movies, the huge tails In the theme parks and all the children of the Make-A-Wish foundation who come to visit our shooting locations, and every time I want to come back, I love making these films. Fun to shoot, but this time it may be really over. ” This is a decision which seems to be quite definitive. Of course, we are not immune to a turnaround, Michael Bay often changing his mind about it. For all that, the meltynauts, rest assured! It is not because the director leaves the ship that the franchise does not have a bright future ahead of him , as Paramount intends to extend the universe. We know already that Transformers 5: The Last Knight should teaser the next spin-off to come. It remains to be seen therefore if Michael Bay will leave his place to someone else and, in this case, who can then replace it. Wait and see , as they say! Do you think Michael Bay will hold his resolution?

Transformers 5: Should we necessarily have seen the previous opus?

sivertime — Fri, 30 Dec 2016 18:10:03 +0000

Transformers 5 is, as its title suggests, the fifth film in the saga. But must it necessarily have seen the previous four opus to understand his plot?
To faithfully follow a franchise is a long-term job! Not only must we be able to see all the films – without falling behind – but, in addition, we must retain all the information they reveal to us. In short, as that we must keep the thread which, when a saga stretches like this on more than a decade can sometimes be a complicated pile. So naturally, the problem also arises for the fifth installment in the franchise Transformers Michael Bay, who will arrive in June in cinemas. Especially because, hey, the director does not do things by half and decided to reappear in Transformers 5 characters like Lennox (Josh Duhamel) who were absent from the fourth installment. Obviously for fans hardcore saga, back into the world of Autobots should not be a problem. On the other hand, for those who skipped an episode or who do not remember very well what happened in the previous opuss, the situation can become a bit more problematic. But do not panic ! The editing of melty has a good (and reassuring) new to give to those of you who belong to this second category.
For not, according to Lorenzo di Bonaventura, producer of Transformers 5 , it will not be necessary to have seen ALL the episodes of the franchise , nor have any recall from the previous adventures of Bumblebee and Optimus Prime, to understand the film. He relates to Collider: ” The movie’s opening scene will introduce what we intend to explore the mythology [franchise] Therefore, it is not necessary to have seen the other previous films, because. we will re-establish, say, the mystery of the film and the direction it will take. “. Basically, even if you think you know all of the saga Transformers , the fifth volume intends to redefine number of elements. Good, though, it’s better to know who are at least Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg) if you want to understand their relationships and what they make in this whole story. Especially because, to our surprise, Optimus Prime appears to turn against Bumblebee in Transformers 5, as we have seen in a recent post , which is as surprising as disturbing. And that, only those who have at least seen one or two films of the franchise will seize the upsetting side! Have you seen the previous four opus?
