It was not too long ago we left Transformers: The Last Knight Principal Photography with hopes of returning soon to lean more about new toys, trailers and various other post production info leading to the release of the movie on June 23rd, 2017.
With Voyager Class Optimus Prime revealed and an IMAX Featurette followed by a Michael Bay announcement, the road leading to the release is being paved as we speak.
Paramount Pictures, the distributors of Transformers Movies has forged a new alliance with Huahua Media on Thursday for the distribution of the new movie in China.
China Film Insider states:
“Huahua Media has become an exclusive partner in China with Paramount Pictures for the roll-out of Transformers:The Last Knight (变形金刚5:最后的骑士), the next installment in the billion-dollar blockbuster franchise based on the Hasbro toy line.
Huahua CEO Wang Kefei joined Paramount’s Chairman and Chief Executive Brad Grey, Megan Colligan, worldwide president of marketing and distribution, and Nic Crawley, President of International Marketing & Distribution to ink the deal in Shanghai on Thursday.
The agreement most likely means that the company will be replacing 1905 Internet Technology as Paramount’s Chinese production partner for the franchise.”

Hold up the last company was called 1905 Internet Technology? That sounds like some godawful steampunk/vaporwave hybrid band your buddy made.
In all honesty, not too psyched at hearing this. Nothing against the Chinese (that Mongolian exchange student is still the best roommate I ever had) but I know that Paramount's only playing up to (read: pandering) to them because it means money, and when it comes to Transformers Paramount has a bad habit of putting money over story. Which means we should expect another nonsensical bullshit relocation to China in the third act for The Last Knight so Bay can continue to shill Chinese companies and products. Hopefully the trailer tomorrow can alleviate SOME of my worries but I also have three finals in one day (one of which is learning how to script supervise so if anyone who knows anything about film has any advice on that pleeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaase help a brother out).

Heavy Chinese pandering: CHECK
Is there anything not wholly predictable about TF5? More of the same is not going to be a recipe for growth. The arrow is down already.
