‘Transformers One’ Producers, Director Discuss the Franchise’s First Animated Feature in 40 Years During Backstage Annecy Interview
In Annecy for a WIP screening, the 'Transformers One' team discussed their upcoming feature in a backstage interview with Variety.
Backstage before the show, Annecy’s artistic director, Marcel Jean, told Variety that he’s wanted “Transformers One” at the festival since seeing early footage from the film during a West Coast trip last fall. Jean, who joined the festival as artistic director 12 years ago, insisted that developing the studio relationship necessary to secure this kind of screening took time and effort but that the results have been well worth it. Ahead of the Annecy WIP screening of “Transformers One,” Variety spoke backstage with Naito, di Bonaventura, the film’s director Josh Cooley (“Toy Story 4”) and Hasbro Head of Film Zev Foreman about putting together the first animated “Transformers” feature in four decades, the challenges they faced along the way and the allure of Annecy.
