Bologna Book Fair 2023 concluded recently and upcoming Transformers-related publishing materials were on display for the public.

Some of the highlights:

  • Transformers: Rise of the Beasts children’s books by Simon & Schuster
  • Transformers: Rise of the Beasts children’s activity books by Bendon
  • Transformers: EarthSpark children’s books by Simon & Schuster

Speaking to the press, Michael Kelly, Hasbro’s VP of global publishing likens the movie to the more family-friendly original 2007 Transformers movie or the younger-skewing Bumblebee (2018), rather than some of the recent sequels. “It’s close to those in tone and feeling,” he explained. “It’s not one of those films that’s just brushing the R rating; there’s still lots of action and the stakes are high, but it’s solidly PG-13.”

Unfortunately, no news was shared regarding the comic book license.

Porsche 911 Carrera RS 3.8 is a rare car. So rare that only 55 of them were produced and distributed worldwide. So, it was a daunting task when the producers of Transformers: Rise of the Beasts requested 5 of them to be used for filming and stunts.

Owen Shively, CEO of RTTM, which represents Porsche Cars North America in entertainment and product placement, took on this mammoth task to reproduce five Porsche 911 Carrera RS 3.8 cars using other existing Porsche chassis.

“I’ve never even seen one, but I had to go out and make five of them in a very short order,” he said. It helped that, while the 911 Carrera RS 3.8 is unique, it shares a chassis with 911s across more than three decades. “It has the same general shell. What allows us to do that is the 911 tub from 1965 to 1998. You can use that base and build it into a RS 3.8.”

Porsche owners came together to provide parts for the cars.

Thus, Mirage came to be.

Fellow Transformers enthusiast Alfonso Nation got to speak with Jason Avalos, who portrays a security guard at the [supposed] museum, where it is presumed, a big action sequence would take place.

Mr. Avalos highlights the kindness of director Steven Caple Jr. and the fast-paced shooting schedule.

He also notes that the film is a proper sequel to 2018’s Transformers: Bumblebee. He teases that the fans are in for some crazy surprises that they will not be ready for and he is lucky to be a part of that surprise.
