TRANSFORMERS ONE
TRANSFORMERS ONE
Transformers One is a 2024 American animated science fiction action film based on Hasbro‘s Transformers toy line. It was directed by Josh Cooley from a screenplay by Eric Pearson and the writing duo of Andrew Barrer and Gabriel Ferrari, based on a story by Barrer and Ferrari. The ensemble voice cast includes Chris Hemsworth, Brian Tyree Henry, Scarlett Johansson, Keegan-Michael Key, Steve Buscemi, Laurence Fishburne, and Jon Hamm. The film depicts the origins and early relationship of Optimus Prime and Megatron and how they forever changed the fate of Cybertron, the home planet of the Transformers. It is the franchise’s first theatrical animated feature film since The Transformers: The Movie (1986).
In March 2015, following the release of Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014), Paramount Pictures tasked Akiva Goldsman to set up a writers’ room to create ideas for potential future Transformers films. By May 2015, Barrer and Ferrari had signed on as writers, and they came up with the idea of an animated prequel set on Cybertron. The film was announced in August 2017, and by April 2020, Cooley had been hired to direct. Animation services were provided by Industrial Light & Magic.
Transformers One premiered in Sydney, Australia on September 11, 2024, and is scheduled to be released by Paramount Pictures in the United States on September 20, 2024. The film received largely positive reviews from critics.

THE SUBSTANCE
The Substance is a 2024 body horror film co-produced, written, and directed by Coralie Fargeat. The film stars Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley, and Dennis Quaid. An international co-production between the United Kingdom and France, its plot follows a fading celebrity who decides to use a black-market drug.

Plot
Elisabeth Sparkle, star of a popular TV aerobics show, is fired on her 50th birthday and subsequently gets in a car accident after seeing her billboard getting taken down. At the hospital, a young nurse secretly gives her a flash drive labeled “The Substance,” which promotes a mysterious supplier’s invention: a serum that, when injected, creates a younger, beautiful, “perfect” version of the user, though the two remain connected as “one.” After some deliberation, Elisabeth orders the product and is forced to “birth” a younger version of herself from her back.
The younger form, adopting the name “Sue,” is instructed by the mysterious supplier to inject a “Stabilizer” serum extracted from Elisabeth daily. The two also have to switch bodies every seven days without exception. Sue is quickly hired back onto Elisabeth’s old show, quickly ascending to new heights of fame and admiration. When Elisabeth is forced to switch bodies with her, however, she continues to struggle with a deepening sense of inadequacy and low self-esteem.
The contrast between her and Sue becomes increasingly stark, fueling Elisabeth’s growing envy and desire to misuse the serum to extend her time as Sue. This causes one of Elisabeth’s fingers to age. Elisabeth contacts the supplier, who tells her she can keep obeying the switches or terminate the Substance, which would not revert her appearance. She reluctantly continues to switch.
