The next Transformers movie is currently shooting in the UK, and causing some controversy. Transformers: The Last Knight is using Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire as a location, but the fact that the former home of wartime Prime Minister Winston Churchill has been draped in Nazi flags has led to some to speculate that Churchill might not be too happy about it. Now director Michael Bay has commented on the issue.

Speaking to the BBC, Bay said: “I just want to say, people were not fortunate enough to read the script, and they don’t know that Churchill in this movie is a big hero. And Churchill would be smiling about Last Knight.

“They haven’t seen the movie, they don’t know the ending, and they don’t know how Churchill is a hero in this movie. So, as the staff said, ‘He’d be smiling right now.’”

It had already been reported that King Arthur would feature in The Last Knight, so the news that Winston Churchill might also feature only adds to the mystery of the movie’s storyline

Last week, star Mark Wahlberg also revealed that a new type of Transformer will appear, a miniature version of the popular Dinobots. “[The film] is a cool new story, it’s kind of like a man on the run,” he said during a Facebook Q&A. “We got a cool new cast, cool new robots, cool new villains, and some cool new Dinobots. I think you guys are really going to go crazy for the Mini-Dinobots.”

Transformers: The Last Knight hits theaters on June 23, 2017. Wahlberg will be joined by Anthony Hopkins, Josh Duhamel, Stanley Tucci, and John Goodman.

Paramount will be releasing a newTransformers movie every year until at least 2019. The studio has already announced release dates for the two movies following The Last Knight: Transformers 6 (expected to be a Bumblebee spinoff) is scheduled to debut on June 8, 2018, while Transformers 7 will follow on June 28, 2019.

Looking for a new copy of Star Wars Battlefront? Amazon has discounted the sci-fi shooter to possibly the lowest price ever. The online retailer is currently selling physical copies of the game on PS4 and Xbox One for around $17. Meanwhile, the physical PC edition is marked down to $20.

Digital copies are more expensive. Go to Amazon’s Battlefront landing page here to learn more and to place an order if you’re interested. There is no word on when the deal will end, so if you’re interested, you may want to act quickly.

Battlefront’s newest expansion, Death Star, came out on September 20 for people who own the game’s season pass. Everyone else can purchase it for $15 starting on October 3. Alternatively, you can buy it through Battlefront’s $50 DLC pass.

Death Star is Battlefront’s third paid expansion, following Outer Rim and Bespin. The fourth and final one, Rogue One: Scarif, comes out this holiday; it is based on the upcoming movie.

Though Death Star is only out for season pass-owners right now, all Battlefront players benefited from the new patch that came out alongside it this week. It raised the level cap to 90, made a number of hero/villain changes, and fixed a lot of bugs. You can see the full patch notes here.
