On the occasion of Eid-ul-Adha, Star Cineplex is bringing Hollywood blockbuster “Transformers: Dark of the Moon” for local movie enthusiasts.
The Bangladesh premiere of the film will be held today. The film will have its public released tomorrow (November 4). Directed by Michael Bay and produced by Steven Spielberg, the film was released worldwide on June 23 this year.
The story revolves around a NASA manned mission to the Moon. Three years after the events of the second film and 42 years after the Apollo 11 space race, the Autobots continue to work for the NEST (Networked Elements: Supporters and Transformers) military force. Meanwhile, the Decepticons unveil a plan to use the new groundbreaking technology, the Pillars, to enslave humanity in order to save the home planet of the Transformers, Cybertron.
Shia LaBeouf, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, and John Turturro reprise their starring roles, with Peter Cullen and Hugo Weaving returning as the voices of Optimus Prime and Megatron. English model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley replaced Megan Fox as the lead female character.
“Dark of the Moon” has grossed $1.12 billion worldwide to become the fourth highest-grossing film of all time, the second highest grossing film of 2011 (behind “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2”), the highest grossing film in the “Transformers” series, and the tenth film to gross over $1 billion.
