In March 2015, Deadline.com reported that Paramount Pictures was in talks with Oscar winner Akiva Goldsman (A Beautiful Mind) to pitch new ideas for the Transformers franchise's future installments. The studio intends to do what James Cameron and 20th Century Fox had been doing to spawn three new Avatar sequels and what Disney is doing to revive Star Wars with sequels and spin-offs and to have their own cinematic universe for Transformers similar to Marvel's Marvel Cinematic Universe and Warner Bros.' DC Extended Universe.[14] Goldsman will be the head of the future projects and will work with franchise director Michael Bay, executive producer Steven Spielberg and producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura to organize a "writer's room" that would incubate ideas for potential Transformers sequels, prequels and spin-offs.[14] The writer's room members includes Christina Hodson, Lindsey Beer, Andrew Barrer and Gabriel Ferrari, (Ant-Man), Robert Kirkman (The Walking Dead), Art Marcum & Matt Holloway, Zak Penn (Pacific Rim 2), Jeff Pinkner (The Amazing Spider-Man 2), Ken Nolan and Geneva Robertson-Dworet.[14] Kirkman however left the room just after one day of presence due to a throat surgery.[15] In July 2015, Akiva Goldsman & Jeff Pinkner were announced to write the script for the film.[16] However, on November 20, due to Goldsman's commitments on creating a writer's room for G.I. Joe and Micronauts properties, Paramount began to negotiate with Art Marcum and Matt Holloway (Iron Man) as well as Ken Nolan (Black Hawk Down), to write the film.[17]
After Transformers: Age of Extinction, Bay decided not to direct any other future Transformers films but in early January 2016, in an interview with Rolling Stone he confirmed that he would return to direct the fifth film and that it would be his last Transformers film.[18] Paramount Pictures will spend $80 million for production in Michigan of which Paramount will receive $21 million of state incentives for filming in the state, under agreements entered into before the state legislature eliminated the film office incentive program in July 2015.[19] In April 2016, Paramount hired cinematographer Jonathan Sela.[20] On May 17, Bay revealed the official title of the film to be The Last Knight on his Instagram account, along with a production video showing a close-up of what is presumably Optimus Prime's face, with him having purple eyes instead of blue and his face mostly discolored.[21] The official Twitter account shows a 19-second short video in morse code saying "I’M COMING FOR YOU MAY 31".[22] On May 31, 2016, It was revealed that Megatron will be returning for the sequel.[12] Voice actor Peter Cullen has high hopes that The Last Knight and its sequel will go back to more of their original roots.[23] Bumblebee's new Camaro design was revealed on June 4th.[24]
Casting
In December 2015, Mark Wahlberg confirmed that he will return for the sequel.[25] In February 2016, there were casting call for new lead and supporting roles in Los Angeles and London as well Cullen confirmed he will be returning to voice Optimus Prime.[26] Approximately 850 cast and crews will be hired, 450 of which will be Michigan residents equating to 228 full-time positions.[27] Additionally, 700 extras will be hired from among the Detroit residents as part of Paramount's deal with the locale.[28] On April 13, The Wrap reported that Isabela Moner was in talks to star as Izabella.[2] The site also reports that Bay is eyeing Jean Dujardin, Stephen Merchant and Jerrod Carmichael for supporting roles.[29][30] On May 17, 2016, it was confirmed that Josh Duhamel would be back for the film as well the confirmation for Carmichael's Involvement.[4] In June 2016, Anthony Hopkins, Mitch Pileggi and Laura Haddock joined the cast and Tyrese Gibson confirmed that he will be returning as Robert Epps.[10][31][32][33][6]
Filming
Principal photography on the film began on May 25, 2016, in Havana, Cuba, a few scenes by a "small team" shot there.[34][35][36] It marked the second American film to be shot in Cuba after Fast 8.[34]
Filming also began on June 19, 2016, in Detroit, Michigan and London under the working title E75,[26][27][37] with additional filming to take place in Chicago, Illinois.[38] In Detroit, filming will take place in the Michigan Motion Pictures Studio, Packard Plant, Michigan Central Station, Cafe D'Mongo's Speakeasy and MGM Grand Detroit.[39]
Effects
As all other previous Transformers installments, Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) will serve as the main visual effects company for Transformers: The Last Knight.[18] In early 2016, the company showed Bay an underwater rendering of a crash-landed alien spaceship and a new dump-truck Transformer with a cloak.[18]
Release
Transformers: The Last Knight is scheduled to be released on June 23, 2017.[40][41]
Sequel and spin-off
