As it's a prequel to those films, Bumblebee will obviously have a similar look and feel. But Knight added that it was Spielberg's E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial that had a particularly huge influence on Bumblebee.
“At [the] heart of it [Bumblebee] is a film about relationships and this beautiful love story between these two characters,” said Knight.
Bumblebee, which will debut in theaters on Dec. 21, recently had the title character's voice actor revealed. IGN awarded Bumblebee a 7.0, writing that it "wisely bring the series back to basics."
