He was really respectful and recognized this was someone else&#039;s movie, my take on these characters, and the best thing that he could do was to support me and protect me. He let me do my thing, and I&#039;m really appreciative of it.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Bay gave Knight one memorable piece of advice for working on a mega-budget franchise movie surrounded by people from the studio, the toy company and elsewhere all pulling a director in different directions.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;He said the one thing you have to do is protect the movie,&quot; Knight remembers. &quot;That was advice Jerry Bruckheimer gave him, and he passed it on to me \u2014 remember the movie you intended to make and protect it.&quot;<\/p>\n<pre><code>      I do believe in the adage that the trimmer the vessel, the more it can carry.          \n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>Travis Knight, Bumblebee director<\/p>\n<p>Knight&#039;s previous filmmaking experience was as an animator, directing the stunning stop-motion film <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/news\/behind-the-stunning-stop-motion-magic-of-kubo-and-the-two-strings\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Kubo and the Two Strings<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Stop motion is probably the subset of animation that&#039;s closest to live-action,&quot; he says, &quot;in the sense you&#039;re physically shooting these things with real lights and real cameras, and there&#039;s props and sets and costumes and hair.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>But there were still plenty of new things to learn on this, his first live-action film.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;A lot of times I was flying by the seat of my pants,&quot; he says, laughing.<\/p>\n<p>Knight brought what he called &quot;an animator&#039;s discipline and planning&quot; to the film, mapping out each sequence in detail.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I do believe in the adage that the trimmer the vessel, the more it can carry,&quot; he says. &quot;Animation is very organized and disciplined. You can&#039;t shoot coverage, you can&#039;t play around. But in live-action, you can play around, and sometimes you&#039;ll create little magical moments.&quot; <\/p>\n<figure><figcaption>\nJohn Cena provides several comic highlights in Bumblebee.<\/p>\n<p>                                                     Jaimie Trueblood                                                 <\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>He particularly enjoyed <a href=\"http:\/\/www.metacritic.com\/person\/john-cena\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">John Cena<\/a>&#039;s ability to improvise in the role of a burly secret agent pursuing Bumblebee.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;John&#039;s like a one-man ad-lib factory. We would do the scenes, and then we get to the end of the scene, I&#039;m like, &#039;All right, John, now let&#039;s play a little bit,&#039; and he would always do something really unexpected. He&#039;s just a very, very clever, funny man.&quot;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Eye candy<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A major criticism of Bay&#039;s past Transformers movies is the fast-paced computer-generated action, an assault on the senses that&#039;s often hard to follow. While it has plenty of action, Bumblebee tones down the CG carnage. But Knight insists this shouldn&#039;t be seen as a criticism of Bay&#039;s style.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;It wasn&#039;t in any way addressing any feedback from the fans,&quot; he says. &quot;It was just a story I wanted to tell. That last one [<a href=\"https:\/\/www.metacritic.com\/movie\/transformers-the-last-knight\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Transformers: The Last Knight<\/a>] is one of the biggest movies I&#039;ve ever seen \u2014 and I couldn&#039;t go bigger than that. So let&#039;s go the other way, let&#039;s focus in on a small corner of this canvas and really get to know one of these characters. Let&#039;s balance the emotions with the explosions \u2026 The core relationship mattered to me more than anything else. And if that didn&#039;t work, none of the other stuff matters. It&#039;s just bombast. It&#039;s just eye candy.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Mixing the spectacular, visual effects-driven action with a character-led story was &quot;a high-wire act&quot;, but Knight credits writer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.metacritic.com\/person\/christina-hodson\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Christina Hodson<\/a> for striking the right balance.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;She&#039;s gained something of a reputation in Hollywood as this kinda badass chick writer with these cool, action movies,&quot; he says, &quot;When you talk to her, the films that she always references are cool action movies like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/news\/terminator-2-still-a-blast-even-in-3d-james-cameron-t2-judgment-day\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">T2<\/a> \u2026 But when I sat down and talked to her about the film and my vision of it, I realized very quickly she has a big soft gooey heart just like I do.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Knight&#039;s next big project is 2019&#039;s Missing Link, a new stop-motion adventure from his animation studio Laika. As for where the Transformers movies go next, Knight is sanguine.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;It&#039;s hard to say. I think at this point, candidly, they&#039;re probably just waiting to see how people react to [Bumblebee]. If people vote with their wallets for these kinds of Transformer movies, then they&#039;ll get these kinds of Transformer movies.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Bumblebee opens in Australia on Dec. 20, in the US on Dec. 21 and in the UK on Dec. 24.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/holiday-gift-guide\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">CNET&#039;s Holiday Gift Guide<\/a>: The place to find the best tech gifts for 2018.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/tags\/filmmakers\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Movie Magic<\/a>: The secrets behind the scenes of your favorite films and filmmakers.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blockads.fivefilters.org\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/blockads.fivefilters.org\/acceptable.html\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><br \/>\n[contf]<br \/>\n[contfnew]<br \/>\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/c-8oqtgrjgwu0x24epgv6x2eedukuvcvkex2eeqo.g00.cnet.com\/g00\/3_c-8yyy.epgv.eqo_\/c-8OQTGRJGWU0x24jvvrux3ax2fx2fepgv6.edukuvcvke.eqox2fhnax2fdwpfngux2fepgveuux2fkocigux2feqtgx2ftgfdcnnx2fnqiq_314.rpix3fk32e.octmx3dkocig_$\/$\/$\/$\/$\/$\/$\/$\"\/><\/p>\n<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">cnet<\/a><\/h5>\n<p>[contfnewc]<br \/>\n[contfnewc]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It must be tough to direct your first live-action film with Steven Spielberg and Michael Bay looking..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":107149,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[49],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-107148","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-science"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Bumblebee director on replacing Michael Bay: &#039;I couldn&#039;t go bigger&#039;
