Going Behind The Scenes with Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura and ‘Transformers: Rise of the Beasts’

There’s always more then meets the eye when it comes to movie making….

On this very special episode of “In The Seats With” we are diving into the headspace of one of the most prolific and successful Hollywood producers of recent memory.  In celebration of the release of ‘Transformers: Rise of the Beats” on all PVOD platforms, we’re sitting down with producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura.

Returning to the action and spectacle that have captured moviegoers around the world, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts will take audiences on a ‘90s globetrotting adventure with the Autobots and introduce a whole new faction of Transformers – the Maximals – to join them as allies in the existing battle for earth.

Doing gangbusters business all across the world; Transformers: Rise of the Beasts brings fresh life to the franchise to keep it going for years to come.  We had the chance to sit down with producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura to talk about the tone of the franchise, making action movies on budgets of varying sizes, not losing track of story and the emotional arc of characters and so very much more….

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is now available on PVOD platforms and still in select theatres across the globe.
