struggling to support his mother and his ailing younger brother, the filmmakers knew they needed an actor charismatic enough to stand toe-to-steel-toe with his towering robotic co-stars.<\/p>\n<p>After getting an advance look at the award-winning 2021 musical In the Heights, the clear choice, says producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura, was Anthony Ramos.<\/p>\n<p>Portraying Noah in Transformers: Rise of the Beasts was the culmination of a boyhood dream for Ramos, who grew up watching the Beast Wars animated TV series in his Brooklyn home.<\/p>\n<p>Describing the film as an ensemble piece about characters from different worlds who learn to rely on each other, Ramos says he believes the movie\u2019s underlying message will resonate strongly with viewers from all walks of life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe connection Noah develops with these massive robots is what makes this film interesting, and it\u2019s an important message for the whole world. It says, whoever you are, and wherever you\u2019re from, there\u2019s a common ground between everyone, and I think there\u2019s something beautiful in that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When casting the role of Elena Wallace, the dedicated museum researcher whose curiosity leads her to discover an alien secret hidden within a winged statuette, the filmmakers set out to find someone who could convincingly portray a young Brooklyn-born anthropologist with a taste for adventure.<\/p>\n<p>Their search led them to award-winning actress Dominique Fishback.<\/p>\n<p>Caple says he responded to Fishback\u2019s innate sense of strength, stability and poise in nearly every situation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDominique brings a level of groundedness to whatever she does, and when you\u2019re creating a world filled with imaginary robots and aliens, you need somebody to help ground things in reality, and Dominique does that completely.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One of Fishback\u2019s goals in Transformers: Rise of the Beasts was to show the audience, once and for all, that the series is every bit as much about people as it is about Autobots and Maximals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome fans just love the robots and they don\u2019t care about the human characters as much, so I told Steven that I wanted to prove why the humans are important,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause the way I see it, this is really a movie about humanity. It\u2019s about heart and feelings.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>About Transformers: Rise of the Beasts<\/h3>\n<p>Returning to the action and spectacle that have captured moviegoers around the world, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts will take audiences on a \u201990s globetrotting adventure with the Autobots and introduce a whole new breed of Transformer \u2013 the Maximals \u2013 to join them as allies in the existing battle for earth.<\/p>\n<p>Directed by Steven Caple Jr. and starring Anthony Ramos and Dominique Fishback, the film arrives in theaters June 7.<\/p>\n<p>The screenplay is by Joby Harold and Darnell Metayer &amp; Josh Peters and Erich Hoeber &amp; Jon Hoeber, story by Joby Harold, based on Hasbro\u2019s Transformers\u2122 Action Figures.<\/p>\n<p>Produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura, Tom DeSanto &amp; Don Murphy, Michael Bay, Mark Vahradian, Duncan Henderson.<\/p>\n<p>The film stars Anthony Ramos, Dominique Fishback, Tobe Nwigwe, Peter Cullen, Ron Perlman, Peter Dinklage, Michelle Yeoh, Liza Koshy, John DiMaggio, David Sobolov, Michaela Jae Rodriguez, Pete Davidson, Cristo Fern\u00e1ndez.<\/p>\n<p>Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is distributed in the Philippines by Paramount Pictures through Columbia Pictures.
