The first teaser for Transformers One was a curveball with humor predominantly displayed, but the following trailers have displayed more than just jokes. Now, early reactions have been very positive. Including our own Chris Bumbray saying in his review, “One thing worth noting is that the audience I saw this with REALLY seemed to love the movie. They laughed and cheered throughout, and when it was over, the audience gave it a huge round of applause, which is something you really never get at free screenings in my neck of the woods. There’s a reason why Paramount’s been doing so many word-of-mouth screenings, as this has the potential to be a major hit, and, again, it’s the best Transformers movie ever made by a wide margin.”
Paramount Animation has now released a final trailer for Transformers One, which gives a spotlight to the bold quote from our EIC. The official synopsis reads, “TRANSFORMERS ONE is the untold origin story of Optimus Prime and Megatron, better known as sworn enemies, but once were friends bonded like brothers who changed the fate of Cybertron forever. In the first-ever fully CG-animated Transformers movie, TRANSFORMERS ONE features a star-studded voice cast, including Chris Hemsworth, Brian Tyree Henry, Scarlett Johansson, Keegan-Michael Key, Steve Buscemi with Laurence Fishburne and Jon Hamm.“
Executive Producers on the film include Steven Spielberg, Zev Foreman, Olivier Dumont, Bradley J. Fischer, B.J. Farmer and Matt Quigg. Lorenzo di Bonaventura, Tom DeSanto & Don Murphy, Michael Bay, Mark Vahradian, and Aaron Dem are on board as the producers. Josh Cooley directs the animated feature from a screenplay by Eric Pearson and Andrew Barrer & Gabriel Ferrari. Andrew Barrer & Gabriel Ferrari also came up with the story from which the script is based.
Transformers One has been rated PG for sci-fi violence and animated action throughout, and language. And the film will be released in theaters on September 20.

Sony had been planning to give director Chris Weitz’s horror film They Listen a theatrical release on August 25th of 2023, but in May of last year they decided to delay the release an entire year, pushing They Listen to August 30, 2024. By the time that date rolled around, the movie had been given the new title Afraid (or AfrAId)… and neither the new title nor the new release date worked out for the movie at the box office, because it only ended up making $9 million at the global box office. Just two weeks after its theatrical release, Afraid has now been given a digital release and is available for rent on Amazon’s Prime Video for $9.99. It can also be purchased for the price of $14.99.
Afraid‘s physical media release will follow on November 5th, when it comes to Blu-ray and DVD with the following extras: – 5 Deleted & Extended Scenes including Alternate Ending – Dark Side of AI
Afraid comes our way from Sony, Blumhouse, and Depth of Field. Weitz produced the film with Jason Blum and Andrew Miano. Bea Sequeira, Dan Balgoyen, Britta Rowings, and Paul Davis served as executive producers. Filming took place in Los Angeles back in December of 2022.
In AFRAID, Curtis (John Cho) and his family are selected to test a revolutionary new home device: a digital family assistant called AIA. Taking smart home to the next level, once the unit and all its sensors and cameras are installed in their home, AIA seems able to do it all. She learns the family’s behaviors and begins to anticipate their needs. And she can make sure nothing – and no one – gets in her family’s way.
John Cho (Searching) is joined in the cast by Katherine Waterston (Alien: Covenant), Havana Rose Liu (No Exit), Lukita Maxwell (Shrinking), Riki Lindhome (Wednesday), Keith Carradine (Fear the Walking Dead), Ben Youcef (SEAL Team), and Wyatt Linder (Little America).
Chris Weitz went uncredited on his feature directorial debut American Pie, which he directed alongside his brother Paul Weitz. He has gone on to direct Down to Earth, About a Boy, The Golden Compass, The Twilight Saga: New Moon, A Better Life, and Operation Finale. They Listen is a continuation of a working relationship between Weitz and Cho that stretches all the way back to American Pie. Weitz has only directed Cho in two movies previously, American Pie and Down to Earth, but Weitz was a producer on American Pie 2, American Wedding, American Reunion, See This Movie, In Good Company, Bickford Shmeckler’s Cool Ideas, American Dreamz, Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist, Columbus, and A Happening of Monumental Proportions, all of which had Cho as a cast member. Weitz also co-created the short-lived TV series Off Centre, which starred Cho.

Prime Video has just released the quirky and outrageous trailer for Brothers. Max Barbakow, whose debut effort was the time-looping Hulu film Palm Springs, returns with another comedy that’s star-studded from a script written by Macon Blair, who also acts in The Thicket and directed the unreleased Toxic Avenger remake. The film stars Josh Brolin, Peter Dinklage, Glenn Close, Brendan Fraser, Taylour Paige, E. Emmet Walsh, and Jennifer Landon. The new comedy features Brolin, Dinklage, and Close as a unique family getting involved with heists, emeralds, and orangutans.
The official synopsis reads,
“Brothers tells the story of a reformed criminal (Josh Brolin) whose attempt at going straight is derailed when he reunites with his sanity-testing twin brother (Peter Dinklage) on a cross-country road trip for the score of a lifetime. Dodging bullets, the law, and an overbearing mother along the way, they must heal their severed family bond before they end up killing each other.”
As silly and unhinged as the film itself looks, the director, Barbakow, would also marvel at how silly and weird the set became, even with all these esteemed actors in the cast. He told EW, “In between setups, Josh somehow commandeered a techno crane and chased Peter around with it, wearing a pink wig, voguing for the camera. Glenn was so surprising in terms of how willing she was to try things, make a fool of herself, and go there. I think she mooned all of us at a certain point. It was remarkable.”
The director also recalled the first day of filming when Brolin set the tone for the incredibly wild tone of the rest of the production. He explained, “The very first scene we shot was with the brothers in a motel room, taking turns using the shower. Josh calls me on the way to work and he’s like, ‘I think I should be in my tighty-whities in this scene. I think that would be appropriate. And I think I should be eating a nutter butter or something like that. Can we make it work?’ And Josh, I should also say, gained like 20 lbs. for this movie, so he had the perfect dad bod.”
He had summed up that the cast was “like a murderer’s row of esteemed actors who were so down to get silly and weird. It is quite a romp.”
Brothers opens in select theaters on October 10 and on Prime Video on October 17.
