Bumblebee

Producer Lorenzo Di Bonaventura told Screen Rant filming begins in August.

Well we’re going to shoot a prequel actually, a Bumblebee movie, which starts in August, so next summer we’ll see a Bumblebee movie. And then we hope to have another Transformers movie the following summer. Look, I always wait for the audience, because there’s an arrogance to getting ahead of your audience. When you do, you get punched. So we’ll wait each time. We’re planning a lot of movies, but you’ve got to have the audience’s support, because these movies are very expensive.


In a separate interview with Comic Book, Bonaventura stated the film may finally embrace the original, boxier Transformers designs of the earlier generations—although odds are, the film will simply use ‘80s cars in its already established aesthetics, so don’t get your hopes too high.

That we haven’t done? Oh, I don’t know. You know I am looking forward to in the Bumblebee movie reliving the eighties Transformers and what those kind of cars can look like, so I think that’s really fun.

Preacher

Grahame McTavish promises no one will die a boring death in season two.

The way that people die in Preacher — it’s not just sort of boring, conventional ways people would die normally in a show. It’s quite creative, and my character particularly finds interesting ways to deal with people with his various weapons and his bare hands.

Arrow

Meanwhile, producer Marc Guggenheim told Entertainment Weekly he thinks everyone should stop being so death-obsessed, in this case in regards to the mahoosive explosion that consumed Lian Yu at the climax of Arrow’s recent season finale:

A lot of the discussion that we’ve had and a lot of the discussion we’ve seen online is very binary — people either live or they’ll die. There are other consequences that can come out of what happened at the end of [episode] 523. While everyone is focused on one thing, you know us on Arrow, we may be doing something else.
