Exactly a month ago, we made an announcement that Paramount Pictures will be hosting their annual CinemaCon Presentation in Las Vegas on 25th April, 2018. Back then, we stated that Transformers fans should keep their expectations low for Live Action Movie Series content; since the upcoming Transformers: Bumblebee movie was still 9 months away.
However, we are happy to be proven wrong on this occasion as multiple industry rumors are suggesting that the First Poster and the Teaser Trailer for Bumblebee: The Movie will be showcased at CinemaCon 2018.
Adding further confirmation, is a report from popular ticketing website Fandango along with a standee from this year’s CinemaCon exhibition floor:
“Transformers’ #Bumblebee hitched a ride to #CinemaCon, where its buzz will begin.”
But wait, there’s more…
Fandango editor Erik Davis himself tweeted:
“More from #CinemaCon Day 0: The Transformers spin-off #Bumblebee has promos everywhere, plus a little #Venom and the first true poster for the final How To Train Your Dragon movie, #TheHiddenWorld”
We do not know whether the rest of the world other than the visitors at CinemaCon will get to see the teaser trailer or the poster (the latter is more likely to be photographed though), but it is interesting to note that the trailer may debut during Paramount’s CinemaCon ‘Summer And Beyond‘ presentation on Wednesday, April 25th from 4:30PM to 6:00PM at the The Colosseum, Caesars Palace (Las Vegas).
Update: Paramount and Hasbro has announced a new website for the movie. However, the site is not live yet. Once it goes online, you can get all the content from www.BumbleBeeTheMovie.com.
You can checkout the CinemaCon Bumblebee standee, after the jump.

Indeed but I kinda wanna know if it was the same with the supposedly test screening

Cinemacon is done, with a lot of positive responses about the footage.
Also, this is a multiple Oscar nominatated director. It’s not his first film. It’s his first ‘live action’ film. Unless that’s what you meant. In which case, disregard.
snokoan
Cinemacon is done people loved the footage

Bay isn't directing it, so I'm slightly optimistic about this one. Then again, this is the actual director's first film. Not that that means Bumblebee is doomed, but with the "popularity" of the franchise I can't help wondering if it's just being sent out to die…
Anyway, bring on Cinemacon!

I'm sure we will. Even the other films had trailers 4 to 6 months before. Hopefully we see something with Solo, if not then maybe in June. I really can't imagine we'd get it any later than July.
I want the trailer, but at this point I'm hoping they'll release some stills or robot images, even artwork. I'm not expecting to see a trailer before Bumblebee himself is even revealed.
snokoan
I just hope we see it sooner than like 3 months before the movie
SimbaTron
Same as me bro

Yeah…just like I said. I myself try to stay as neutral as possible. I have to admit though that that is partly due to TLK's failure. But perhaps this could turn out well in the end?

Here's something, I don't know if it's what the other guy talked about or not. I just searched for "4chan bumblebee footage" and set it to stuff from the past week. (This was posted yesterday).
It's some guy claiming to have been at CinemaCon. He basically just describes stuff we've already known. I don't know if he's for real or not.

Ah, okay.
Dirge121
It’s staffed. But when the staff aren’t there it’s all turned off so it’s not like you can just go watch stuff on it.
snokoan
I went on 4chan and couldn't find anything bumblebee related at all
TheSoundwave
I'm curious what the people on 4chan are claiming to have seen. Unless they specifically described the same mall kiosk thing that Dirge121 was talking about, I'd take it with a major grain of salt. Anyone can post anonymously on there.
snokoan
I'm trying to find that info on 4chan and can' find shit
TheSoundwave
What's up with 4chan? Did someone there claim to have seen the trailer?
snokoan
Damn
Seth Sunthay
Nope, they create a new thread like every second.
snokoan
Do you have a link for that?
Seth Sunthay
yeah, kinda
snokoan
Positively? I hope the test screening reaction were the same since it was private and nobody knows the reaction
TheSoundwave
So are there workers there or is it just an automated thing?
