Bumblebee: The Movie star actress Hailee Steinfeld sat down with Yahoo! Movies to talk a bit about her experience with the new movie while on her press tour for Pitch Perfect 3.
She was very excited to talk about the creative approach of director Travis Knight and the challenges of working with CGI characters.
“The script was really amazing. The thought of working with Travis Knight was awesome and I met with him a couple of times. He mainly has a background in animation and I thought that it was incredible that he was able to have this clear vision of the end result of what this movie would look like. I was really intrigued by that.
The process of making [Bumblebee: The Movie], the challenge of not acting with humans was something that was set out to me. It was no doubt a challenge. I loved every minute of it and I’m very excited to see how it turned out”
Furthermore, she shared some tidbit about her character Charlie Watson:
“My character, Charlie, is very influenced by music – I don’t even know that she has a t-shirt that doesn’t have a band on it. It takes place in the ‘80s, so ‘80s music is a [big] influence on the movie.”
Music
Uh, it takes place in the 80s, so yes? Were you expecting 90s music?

This better be packed full of 80s music

True. But it’s the most popular and relevant example of this motif today.

GOTG didn't create that concept.

Just cause of music we are room oh boy
ZapRowsdower
80s music… Uh oh! "What's he doing? Is that… Is that a desperation dance move???"
I guess TF5 was even worse than we thought… Or maybe this new director really digs his 80s jams?

…well, they did change him from fuel injection to being carburated in the new film, so you’re kind of getting that already…

I think as long as the producers are hands off and let Knight do the movie the way he wants to, something good might come of it, until the final product is out there’s no reason to get bent out of shape and waste a lot of energy. But hey it could go tits up, who knows.
SPLIT LIP
I mean, they didn't.
I don't know if you remember the climate of TFs circa 2007, Bumblebee rose to popularity purely because of audience reaction. I remember when the first movie concept Camaro Bumblebee was hard to find because Hasbro underestimated his popularity. Nobody brainwashed anybody, the people spoke.

No, I was thinking that looks good because it is good.

You mean a disgustingly delicious disposal piece of entertainment? That's exactly what we got with the previous five movies. That sandwich is Micheal Bay movies personified.

I remember when everybody was hyping up The Last Knight. Fool me once, shame on you! Fool me twice FUCK BUMBLEBEE!!! This movie is not getting 1 cent from me. They've been ramming Bumblebee down our throats for the past 10 years & this is the final nail. Instead of letting us choose our own favorite characters they have brainwashed Optimus Prime & Bumblebee into everybody's heads. But not me! Bumblebee can suck it!

The way she's hyping this thing up, it better be the cinematic equivalent to this:
