As a seasoned gamer with countless hours spent battling Decepticons and Autobots on my console, I must say, I’m thrilled about the upcoming Transformers-G.I. Joe crossover movie! The idea of delving deeper into the emotional lives of these mechanical titans has me positively revved up.
The Transformers series has enjoyed significant success on the silver screen, with the Michael Bay films raking in huge box office numbers and the latest installment, Transformers One, being warmly received by critics. In contrast, G.I. Joe, another Hasbro franchise, hasn’t performed nearly as well. A hint of a crossover between these two characters sets was given in the most recent Transformers movie. The producer has confirmed that such a film is still in the works, although it seems we might have to wait some time before it hits theaters.
As a devoted fan, I was thrilled to discover at the end of “Transformers: Beasts of Rise” that the legendary team G.I. Joe coexists within the same universe as our live-action Transformers! In an interview with Collider, producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura dropped a bombshell – a crossover between these two iconic franchises is on the table for the next live-action film. While details are scarce and the project remains in its infancy, di Bonaventura hinted that the upcoming movie could bring a refreshing change in focus. He said…
In other words, assuming our next project succeeds, we plan to produce a follow-up, which will be animated and independent of any live-action endeavors. Meanwhile, our upcoming live-action movie will be a blend of different stories (a crossover). The emotional capabilities of the robots in this new story are something we’ve gained insight into, so we’ll need to find ways to express that depth within our budget and create a narrative that fully explores it. One aspect I’m keen on exploring, still in the early stages of development, is delving deeper into the robots’ perspectives in the live-action story, as this is the key to truly understanding them.
In contrast to the human-centric narrative in the live-action Transformers films, the first animated Transformers movie focuses exclusively on the lives and adventures of the transforming robots. This change suggests that future installments, like when Transformers meet G.I. Joe, might offer a deeper look into the robot characters’ perspectives.
Absolutely, the upcoming movie is expected to feature several human characters from the selected members of G.I. Joe. However, it’s worth noting that this crossover with Transformers may pose challenges due to the large number of characters involved in the storyline altogether. As Di Bonaventura explained…
In order for their motivation to become integral to the narrative, it’s crucial that they are no longer merely responding to human actions or plots. This adds complexity because managing numerous characters in a franchise movie is already challenging, and increasing the number only makes it harder to create well-rounded ones. So, we need to simplify, keep it compact. At this stage, we’re working with multiple Joes, multiple Transformers, and regular humans, and the next step will be to refine this. Essentially, our current goal is to establish a broader framework while maintaining a balance between Joes and Transformers in the storyline. The challenge lies in determining the right proportion of each element to maintain the desired tone.
It appears the project is focusing on striking a harmonious blend between the worlds of G.I. Joe and Transformers at the moment. If they succeed, it’s comforting to know that the crossover concept won’t stretch across numerous films, but instead will likely be the next installment in the series.
