Meanwhile, Paramount Pictures and Hasbro are responsible for the worldwide blockbuster success of the “Transformers” franchise, which has earned $3.8 billion to date, and whose films, directed by Bay, are among the highest grossing movies of all time.
Incidentally, the ‘knight’ in the title of the fifth “Transformers” movie has a meaning for what it is – a knight. Based on recent behind-the-set photos showing filming for “Transformers: The Last Knight,” Director Michael Bay is actually taking the battle of the Autobots and the Decepticons in the medieval world.
A few weeks ago, Michael Bay was spotted filming explosive battle scenes for the robot movie over in Bourne Woods, which is located south of Farnham, Surrey, England.
The setting featured knights, dressed in full armor, on horseback and off charging into battle, which reminds fans of a “Game of Thrones” episode.
Based on rumors, Merlin, King Arthur, and his legendary sword, the Excalibur, will all play important parts in the film as they shall reportedly interact with the Transformers.
Michael Bay has been known to pull out his old tricks in filming “Transformers” movies. After getting into a controversy for Nazi-fying Winston Churchill’s birthplace in September, the director said that it does not look what it seems and assured fans and critics alike that Churchill would be smiling a lot in the movie once they see him on the film.
