"You could not make this movie live-action," he says, while on the press tour for Transformers: Rise of the Beasts' digital release last year. "If we did it in live-action it would cost twice what we normally would spend on a big Transformers movie. In animation, not only can we afford it, it's less than a Transformers movie. We can do things in animation... I mean, imagine being on Cybertron? What does Cybertron really look like? We get the opportunity to define that."
Transformers One winds back the clock on the war between Autobots and Decepticons and shakes up the casting: Chris Hemsworth has been cast as the voice of a young Optimus Prime, replacing series stalwart Peter Cullen, while recent Atlanta star and Oscar nominee Bryan Tyree Henry subs in for Frank Welker as voice Megatron. Rounding out the cast are Scarlett Johansson as Elita One, Keegan-Michael Key as Bumblebee, Jon Hamm as Sentinel Prime, and Laurence Fishburne as Alpha Trion. And, yes, it's all set on Cybertron.
