A new promo poster for the Bumblebee movie, just saying "Bumblebee" with the Autobot logo.... which may just be the licensing expo, or could be the teaser poster in cinema foyers (which should start showing up soon).

Another trailer on youtube, this time from Spain (with Spanish dubbing) that goes for a minute.
Probably nothing too significant that hasn't already been seen, but the Cybertron scenes are looking a little better. Still a bit "computer gamey", but a lot of detail going on to keep the eyes distracted from looking too deeply at any one thing.
Given that this film was made with half the budget of a Bayformers film, I'm really not expecting the visual effects to be on par. We've had 10 years of visually spectacular live action TF movies from Michael Bay with little substance to the story -- I'll take a good story with cheaper effects. It's the reason why the Original Star Wars Trilogy is still considered the best despite having the lowest level of special effects. Story > visuals.Quote:

The non-Cybertron scenes look fine to me. Maybe the Cybertron scenes look cartoony because G1 cartoon and toy designs look like crap when directly translated into real life. I’m pretty sure this is one reason why we ended up with the Bayformers designs.
I imagine the lower budget is more to do with a smaller scale movie with lesser known actors and only a handful of set pieces.
I think you might be on to something here. True, budget may impact some of the CG, but even the biggest budget movies has shoddy CG scenes in them.Quote:

Another small 1-minute trailer, released by Singapore UIP.
Still six weeks until the movie is released, but the marketing should be kicking into gear soon, with TV ads and cinema trailers (if not already).
This youtube video has a couple of small trailers and 10 second bites, with some new footage in each one.
Promo posters from the US, Russia and Germany, all with slight differences to each other.
A "new" trailer on Instagram... sorta. ;)
Sorry if this has been shared before, but new clips and trailer

A new Bumblebee Movie featurette has been posted to youtube by Paramount UK, focussing on the Gen1 and 1980s elements in the new movie... and some screencaps have been posted up here.
The TV ads are now showing here as I saw it twice during Xmen Apocalypse the other night.
Only a small advert with stuff we've already seen, plus something I haven't seen yet - Bee transforming to car mode in a tunnel.
Bumblebee’s face took up the side of a bus that went past me today. And the staff at Hoyts were wearing tshirts with Bumblebee on them along with a “Christmas gifts of movies” type message
Another TV spot, on youtube.
Links to a couple more clips were posted here.
The Graham Norton show that's on tonight on channel ten has John Cena as a guest... so maybe something about the Bumblebee Movie.

I think there were some mild spoilers... but talked more about how they made the movie, and how Halee had to be shown how to use 80s items (not being born in the 80s).
