As a long-time Transformers fan and gamer, I can’t help but feel excited about the latest addition to the franchise with “Transformers One.” Having grown up with the iconic 1986 animated movie, I was blown away by the tremendous voice work that went into bringing the characters to life. Orson Welles’ performance as Unicron still resonates with me today.
Josh Cooley, the director of “Transformers One,” shared with Entertainment Weekly how the exceptional voice acting in the original 1986 film influenced his approach to the latest Transformers project. The first Transformers movie is cherished by many in geek culture due to the impressive performances of numerous actors. Inspired by this legacy, Cooley sought to bring top-tier talent on board for “Transformers One” to deliver an origin story that has left a lasting impact based on initial reactions.
“Cooley expressed his awe over the exceptional vocal performances in the movie. A standout factor for him was securing Orson Welles for a role, marking it as the legendary actor’s final performance. This discovery underscored the importance of securing a strong cast for their production as well.”
How Do You Make Transformers Without Peter Cullen?
Despite the groundbreaking introduction of new Transformers in “Transformers One,” the challenge of replacing iconic voices, particularly that of Peter Cullen, remained intimidating. In an interview, director Josh Cooley acknowledged the significance of Orion Pax’s voice role, considering the franchise’s future developments. It would be wiser to respect and understand the burden of this legacy before attempting to replicate it.
“From the moment I joined the project, I was worried that no one could replace Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime from my childhood ‘Transformers.’ But when I truly listened to Chris, his voice had an unmistakable power. He didn’t aim to mimic Peter Cullen’s performance, yet he captured the essence of Optimus Prime through his delivery of the lines, hitting the right cadence and rhythm. Hearing him left me speechless and gave me goosebumps.”
What Is The Story Of Transformers One?
Paramount offers a new take on the movie: “In TRANSFORMERS ORIGINS: OPTIMUS PRIME and MEGATRON, former inseparable friends and Cybertron’s most legendary figures, are portrayed as bitter enemies. This is their untold backstory, revealed for the first time in a fully computer-generated TRANSFORMERS movie. With an impressive ensemble voice cast consisting of Chris Hemsworth, Brian Tyree Henry, Scarlett Johansson, Keegan-Michael Key, Steve Buscemi, Laurence Fishburne, and Jon Hamm.”
