The post Transformers One Becomes First Film to Debut Trailer in Space: Watch appeared first on Consequence.

The Transformers franchise has covered so much ground since hitting the big screen in 2007, including planet-eating monsters, dino-bots, and a slew of heavy-handed Michael Bay-approved explosions. Now, they’ve entered a new frontier, with the trailer for Transformers One becoming the first movie trailer to debut in space.

The event kicked off early this morning with a live-streamed countdown showing the one-hour journey into space. When the craft reached its peak above Earth at 125,000 feet, the trailer was revealed, with an introduction from its stars Chris Hemsworth and Brian Tyree Henry.

As the origin story for the robots and beasts at the heart of the franchise, Transformers One is set to be the first-ever fully CG-animated Transformers movie. Hemsworth and Henry are joined by Scarlett Johansson, Keegan-Michael Key, Steve Buscemi, Laurence Fishburne, and Jon Hamm, and the project was executive produced by Steven Spielberg. Josh Cooley, who helmed Toy Story 4, claimed the director’s chair for this installment.

It’s not the first time a studio has looked to the skies for promotional inspiration — in 1993, Columbia Pictures bought $500,000 worth of advertising space on the side of a NASA Conestoga rocket to generate attention for the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie Last Action Hero.

Transformers One follows 2023’s Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, which boasted another star-studded cast — but, according to our own Liz Shannon Miller, Pete Davidson’s winning performance outshined them all. Meanwhile, Chris Hemsworth is busy gearing up for the release of Furiosa: A Mad Max Story, where he co-stars opposite Anya Taylor-Joy.

Transformers One will arrive in theaters on September 13th, 2024.
