Speaking to the gathered press, Transformers Universe: Bumblebee Movie star actress Hailee Steinfeld stated that Principal Photography for the movie may start as early as next week.
If the information is true, we are seeing a 1 month head start than what was previously planned for the movie.
06/26/2017: “So it is the spinoff to Transformers and we start shooting in a couple of weeks,” she said.
ET Canada’s Roz Weston sat down with the 20-year-old actress and singer, who opens up about joining Paramount’s first-ever “Transformers” spin-off, “Bumblebee”, set to be directed by Oscar-nominated “Kubo and the Two Strings” director, Travis Knight.
“My brother is to blame for introducing me to ‘Transformers’,” Steinfeld jokingly explains. “I’m like, ‘Finally, I get to make a movie for my brother!’ He loves ‘Pitch Perfect’, but he’s kind of like, ‘Where’s the action? Where’s the cars?’ So yeah, I’m really excited.”
Of her character in Bumblebee, she said, “I can tell you this, I am so excited about the fact that this character that I will be playing, we’re putting everything together right now with her in terms of what she looks like and really finding out who she is and I really can’t wait for people to meet her, but her and ‘Bumblebee’ are going to be experiencing some great things together.”
Transformers: Bumblebee is being directed by Travis Knight and is set for release on June 22nd, 2018.

I never said it would keep going unchanged. But they will not reboot. If they quite these movies, then they're done with Transformers.

Well:
"It’s the story of a 17-, 18-year-old girl, she and Bumblebee make each other whole, Bumblebee’s a very loving character. "

Don't be to sure of that. TF fans, bay movie lovers or not, don't yet realize how truly catastrophic what just happened really is. In the past year, Bay has successfully sunk two giant nostalgia-based moneymaking properties that Paramount makes movies for, the two closest things they have to super hero franchises. He has rendered their two biggest toy-driven properties toxic on the big screen; one as a director, the other as a meddling producer. The success of the previous transformer films is gone, the goodwill he had from the studio for their success faded. This movie was supposed to pull the studio back into the black, not send it deeper into the red. It doesn't matter in this film manages to pull in upward to 600 million; the massive drop off from the last two movie's billion dollar haul worldwide is in no way, shape or form going to be seen as a success by studio execs or investors.
Anyone who thinks the bay universe is going ahead unaltered is fooling themselves, Paramount is NOT going to throw money after a big budget sequel to a movie that disappointed financially like TLK did. Bay's transformers is now considered toxic by Hollywood. I would not be surprised if the Bumblebee movie is somehow tweaked to allow it to close the book on the Bayverse, and start up fresh for whatever they want to come next. Paramount will scramble to save the Transformers franchise cash cow, and the Bumblebee movie would be a perfect place to start. I don't think they'll lift a finger to saver Bay's transformers.

Glad to see someone liked it. I'm gonna have to hurry, but to be honest i was starting to think a movie so universally dismissed can't be bad.

So, smaller cast of robots aside, what's the chance of Optimus making a cameo (physical or vocal)?

I am not going to see the Bumblebee movie till someone NOT on this board tells me its good. Otherwise I will not give them a dime of my money again.

Whoops! Louise, not Louis. Sorry about that
I agree that it would be great to see more animated features in the west! Perhaps in time the novelty of 3D animation will fade and we'll see more traditional animation again. Here's to hoping!

I know, but I wish to see it in my country and have westren animation as well:/.

Yes and CGI was exactly the thing needed to creat this monstrosity. I like that Bumblebee is cute and small friendly robot, instead of turining him into generic boring strong autobot…they ruined his uniqueness.

Exactly what I don't want, that Bee model is horrendous… and huge…herrendously ugly!

Why do you say that? The next film has a new director for the first time in 10 years and Bumblebee will be one of few if not the only Transformer and if ILM is attached they can reuse their model for Bumblebee, just editing it for the car he has adopted for the film, cutting down some of the cost. This will be one of the cheaper film I imagine and will be the pallette cleanser people have been looking for. This film will be interesting to monitor.
What's most interesting to me is that the director this time has experience working on animated movies so I wonder how this will influence the style of the film.
The films are always going to have humans just like the cartoons are always going to have humans. And rightly so since it's a war on our planet. Sure, they could focus less in them but humans are an important part to the concept of aliens fighting on a planet that isn't theirs.
