"Transformers: The Last Knight", which released last
year, will get a reboot.
According to Transformer World 2005, a fanpage
of the "Transformers" franchise, Toy company Hasbro has announced that the
"Transformers" live-action film series will be "reset" by a new team at media
company Paramount Pictures, following the release of its "Bumblebee" spin-off
film.
The company made the announcement during Friday's Toy Fair 2018
Hasbro Investor Preview, where it was revealed that the planned sixth instalment
of the main "Transformers" film series had been pulled from Hasbro and
Paramount's slate of upcoming projects, reports aceshowbiz.com.
The new
agreement between Hasbro and Paramount will grant the toy company greater
creative control of their content and greenlighting new projects.
Hasbro
will reportedly spend between $100-$125 million on film and television content
throughout this year.
Furthermore, there are currently no live-action
"Transformers" projects listed on the slate of upcoming films, which runs
through to 2021.
It is unclear if its Paramount/Hasbro Event Film
scheduled for 2021 is the said reboot of the "Transformers" franchise.
Paramount has yet to publicly announce the supposed reboot of the "Transformers"
cinematic universe.
