Apparently We Have Steven Spielberg To Thank For The Bumblebee Movie

Apparently We Have Steven Spielberg To Thank For The Bumblebee Movie

Although Michael Bay's Transformers films have always been towering, worldwide box office successes, it's been clear for quite some time that the franchise could do with a little less flame bursting and a lot more heart. The upcoming spinoff Bumblebee, about the origins of the lovable yellow Autobot, hopes to do just that as the film tells a heartwarming tale about the bond between a teenaged girl and the robot.

Sounds a bit like E.T. doesn't it? That comparison would be spot on, because as Bumblebee director Travis Knight recently stated, the plot for the spinoff had a lot to do with one legendary filmmaker's input. Here's what Knight said:

The original idea for this film actually was Steven [Spielberg's]. We can thank him for this film even existing.

That's right, Steven Spielberg pulled from one of his greatest films for the latest Transformers film, and the franchise will likely be better for it. Spielberg is an executive producer on Bumblebee and it looks like he took the opportunity for audiences to see a touching storyline throwback, as Travis Knight revealed to Yahoo Movies.

The spinoff is set in the '80s as a nod to when the popular toy first hit shelves, but also pays tribute to the 1982 classic. Travis Knight said when they decided on the era for Bumblebee, he decided he wanted to take the opportunity to acknowledge the films that meant a lot to him as a kid of the time, and much of Spielberg's work is threaded into that time.

The action-flick will center on Hailee Steinfeld as Charlie Watson, who finds an old yellow Volkswagon bug in a junkyard and rescues it, unaware that it's the Autobot Bumblebee. When the Transformer reveals himself to Charlie, the two form an unlikely friendly bond as Bumblebee becomes targeted by government agents, including John Cena as Agent Burns, and Decepticons as well.

Early reactions to Bumblebee have been overwhelmingly positive as critics have gushed about how they think it's the best Transformers film ever -- noting the blend of heart, solid performances, fun action sequences and '80s era influence.

The flick will mark the first of the franchise to not be directed by Michael Bay and seems to tone down the action sequences and have quite a different feel than the films based on the Hasbro toys that started in 2007 when Bumblebee met Shia LaBeouf's Sam Witwicky.

Steven Spielberg has actually served as executive producer on all five Transformers films, but the new director Travis Knight definitely brings something different to the table as he typically works with Laika Studios in the animation department. 2016's Kubo and the Two Strings, a stop-motion animation Japanese epic about family was his directorial debut.

Bumblebee comes to theaters on December 21, and for more holiday releases, check out our guide for movie releases of the season.

The Joker Movie's Map Of Gotham City Is Packed With DC Easter Eggs

The Joker Movie's Map Of Gotham City Is Packed With DC Easter Eggs

On the surface, director Todd Phillips' Joker is an unusual creature. Separate from the DC Extended Universe, the 1980s-set movie will see Joaquin Phoenix's Arthur Fleck transitioning from slightly unhinged to career criminal in clown makeup, and from what's been revealed so far, Batman won't play any role in this origin story. However, Joker isn't completely ignoring its roots, as evidenced by the map of Gotham City below, which is chock full of Batman and other DC Comics references.

If you simply glance at this map of Gotham City and its subway system from the Joker set (passed along by @UberKryptonian), it looks relatively normal, right? Upon closer inspection, though, Joker's version of Gotham City has a lot of areas named after both characters from the DC Comics mythology and individuals who have been influential in the DC realm. Let's start with some of examples based on fictional people first. There's a Wayne Avenue, of course referring to the Wayne Family, and there's also Kane County in the left hand corner, referring to Martha Wayne's side of the family. There's also an Otisburg, which I'm hoping is a nod to Lex Luthor's inept henchman Otis from Superman: The Movie. Fans will also recognize the Amusement Mile district, home of the amusement park where The Killing Joke took place.

As for real life people who've inspired areas of Joker's Gotham City, the most obvious example is the Snyder district, which is likely referring to DCEU director Zack Snyder, although I'd like to think it doubles as a call to Scott Snyder, whose Death of the Family and Endgame arcs are among the best Joker stories of the modern era. There's also Nolan Lane for Dark Knight trilogy director Christopher Nolan and Prince Street for the late, same-named musical artist who added some pop energy to the 1989 Batman movie. These are just a few of the name drops we caught when looking at the map, so feel free to share any others you spotted in the comments below.

Clearly Joker has not trouble dropping these subtle Easter eggs, but as far as direct DC Comics connections go, those are few and far between. In fact, outside of the Clown Prince of Crime himself (whose civilian identity is one never used before), the only character from the comics set to appear in the movie is Brett Cullen's Thomas Wayne, who is being depicted less sympathetically than usual. Joker's main cast also includes Robert de Niro as a talk show host who plays an integral role in Arthur Fleck turning to crime, Zazie Beetz as a cynical single mother who becomes Fleck's love interest, Frances Conroy as Arthur's mother Penny and Marc Maron as a booking agent on de Niro's character's show.

Joker will be released in theaters on October 4, 2019. As for what's heading to theaters for the remainder of this year, check out our 2018 release schedule.
