The Synopsis: Twenty years before the events of the first film, in 1987, Bumblebee takes refuge in a small California beach town junkyard, where a teenage girl named Charlie Watson takes him in. However, the two of them soon find themselves hunted by a Government Agency known as Sector Seven, lead by Agent Burns.

It was a little over three months ago when we first posted the teaser trailer for the Paramount Pictures feature “Bumblebee” and while I liked that, it was only a tease and didn’t show too much. You can click HERE to see it if you like because I did add one of the teaser posters over there for good measure. This post will have a different one. Now let’s look at the full trailer, premise and casting.

As usual I’ve closed out the topic with some editorial. Take a look.

The Premise: In an alternate present where humans and fantasy creatures—Orcs, Fairies, Elves, Centaurs, etc.—have co-existed since the beginning of time, human LAPD officer Daryl Ward (Will Smith) and Orc Deputy Nick Jakoby (Joel Edgerton) embark on a routine patrol night, only to discover an ancient—but powerful—artifact: a magic wand, that was thought to be destroyed, and encounter a darkness that will ultimately alter the future and their world as they know it. (thanks Wiki).

PiercingMetal Thoughts: I was a fan of the show “Grimm” when it started but lost track so early that I didn’t end up keeping up to speed and as a diehard for quality and quirky action and Science Fiction/Fantasy films think this might be a sleeper hit. I think that I actually said how it reminded me of “Bad Boys” meets “Hellboy” in one of my trailer post narratives. That said I will definitely be perusing the Netflix Service when I sit down to relax after the upcoming holidays. There is no rush for me since I have so many other things to attend to before the year turns over. Have you seen any of the trailers for this? I posted all three of them so do please take a look and if it strikes your fancy let us know down there below.

PiercingMetal Thoughts: Sorry readers I don’t have much to add as its been super busy over here preparing for the holidays and keeping the posts flowing. I was already intrigued by the films first two trailers and am starting to fear that with a third that they now show too much and perhaps are concerned about the potential reception. Slow down gang, let the geeks weigh in and I am sure it will be fine. Chime in down below if you like. I don’t mind that at all. Until next time.
