Relatable characters
The movie is directed by Josh Cooley, best known for his work on Toy Story 4. In an interview with the Motion Picture Association, Cooley talked about how well the characters in Transformers One can translate into real life.
“That was always the goal from the beginning and what got me on board. It was this relationship between these two characters that was very human and brotherly. I thought about my relationship with my brother and how I could bring that in,” he said.
“It’s not like we’re enemies, but we grew up together and then went down our different paths, but we’re still brotherly. I have always been fascinated by the idea of two people who come from the same place but end up in different ones,” he added.
What is Transformers One about?
Transformers One dives deep into the history of how Optimus Prime, played by Hemsworth, and Megatron, played by Brian Tyree Henry, went from best friends to bitter enemies. It’s a typical origin flick with a compelling storyline about the pair trying to free their home planet, Cybertron, from the villain Sentinel Prime, played by actor Jon Hamm.
