TF5 movie US fan event at Paramount Studios

Looks like Paramount Pictures in LA hosted a promo event for the fans today (and probably media too), featuring vehicles, props and clips from the Last Knight movie.

So jealous of the Americans who were invited to attend... and I imagine that if BotCon still existed this year, this event might have been done later to coincide with it.

That's pretty cool, I'm a bit bummed they changed the slogan on Barricades vehicle mode, I really liked 'to punish and enslave' unless it changes just for the scenes in the UK.

I was disappointed that his knuckledusters (on the toy) say "serve" and "protect", instead of "punish" and "enslave".

I watched the Ghostheads documentary on Netflix the other night. In that they featured a special fan event where selected Ghostbusters fans were invited to a special fan event where they had props (like the Ecto-1) and got to see a trailer/new footage first. This (plus that Facebook post) reminds me of that event.

Oh, this explains why some of my US friends on FB have been posting photos and videos of themselves at this event. I thought that it was some wild coincidence that they just happened to be at the same place at the same time... meeting Michael Bay... I've had a long day.

I finally found a write-up of this fan event, and it was even more amazing than I had first thought, with a full day that started at Universal Studios with a ride on the Transformers ride to get people in the mood, and then over to Paramount Studios for a tour and a look at the vehicles and props... and finally in the afternoon they were driven over to Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes facility for a meetup with the director himself to show off the post-production process of what was filmed, and then to a nearby IMAX theatre that had been reserved for the special preview screening.

Just be aware of spoilers though as there are details about the 20-30 minutes of movie footage included in the report.

So jealous.

Also... the 20-30 minutes of preview footage, will be screening at several selected IMAX theatres in North America on April 4th, for free, and fans are to reserve tickets through a special website.
