But rarely are we given the honor to speak with a studio executive who helps greenlight the biggest films.

NOC Review: ‘Transformers One’ is the Most Epic and Mature ‘Transformers’ Film to Date

September 12, 2024September 17, 2024 Mike Manalo

It’s been 17 years since the first live-action Transformers movie by Michael Bay that kicked off a reintroduction to some legendary characters to a whole new generation of fans. But as entertaining as those films were, many fans of the original series were hoping for something a bit closer to the source material. Lo and behold, their prayers have been answered in the most unexpected way, in the form of Transformers: One: the best modern Transformers movie to date!

‘Transformers One’ Shares New Single from Quavo, Ty Dolla $ign, and Brian Tyler

September 6, 2024September 12, 2024 Mike Manalo

I’ll be the first to admit I’m not hip to the music of today’s generation. I’m a movie guy, not necessarily a music guy. But even an old square like me has heard of Quavo! So it’s really cool that he’s got a new track with Ty Dolla $ign and composer Brian Tyler for Transformers: One. (Dear lord I sound old).

‘Transformers One’ Shows Hall H It’s More Than Meets the Eye

July 27, 2024July 27, 2024 Mike Manalo

Admittedly, the Transformers franchise is one filled with ups and downs. For every Bumblebee there’s a Last Knight. And with every Transformers (2007) there’s a Revenge of the Fallen. But this Fall, Hasbro is going to flip the script and send us something we haven’t seen before: the origins of Optimus Prime and Megatron in the animated anticipated release: Transformers One.
