"Transformers, Rise of the Beasts" film producers have thanked Peru for the support provided for the shooting of various scenes in locations such as the
and Tarapoto (San Martin region).
PromPeru's message on social media channels highlighted the fact that movie producers had included their gratitude in the film credits.
The post includes an image that reads: "The producers wish to thank: PromPeru, State of New Jersey, Liberty State Park."
In this sense, the State-run institution added that Peru will continue
"collaborating with major productions and attracting film investments through our #FilmInPeru strategy, being the stage for the most impressive stories!"
The Paramount production —directed by Steven Caple Jr. which stars Anthony Ramos and Dominique Fishback— serves as both a sequel to Bumblebee (2018) and prequel to the Transformers saga.
The story is set in 1994, when Noah Diaz (Ramos), an ex-military electronics expert, and archaeologist Elena Wallace (Fishback) are part of a war between the Autobots and three factions of the Transformers race: the Maximals, the Predacons, and the Terrorcons.
Director Steve Caple Jr. said that he had chosen the site for the "spiritual connection that is felt in sacred places."
The movie "Transformers: Rise of the Beasts" opens in the United States on June 9, 2023.
