Milan Records today announces the release of Transformers : Rise of the Beasts (original motion picture soundtrack) by composer Jongnic Bontemps. Available everywhere Friday, June 9 and to preorder today, the album features music written by Bontemps for the seventh live-action installment in the blockbuster film franchise. Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is the latest collaboration between director Steven Caple Jr. and Jongnic Bontemps, the duo having previously worked together on Caple Jr.’s directorial debut The Land and 2018’s hit film Creed II. Making its debut today alongside album preorder is the album’s opener track “The Maximals,” giving listeners of what can be expected from the album ahead of its wide release next Friday, June 9
Of the soundtrack, composer Jongnic Bontemps says, “I wish I could tell my pre-adolescent self that one day the toys that you're having endless hours of fun with, will one day be a movie series, and that you'll write the music for Transformers: Rise of the Beasts. That might have kept me out of a lot of trouble… Scoring the movie and working with my longtime collaborator Steven Caple Jr. has exceeded my wildest dreams and I'm deeply honored to be a part of the Transformers legacy. We worked tirelessly to honor the musical language of the previous films, and reimagine it through the lens of our current world”.
“We are excited to bring a new sound to Transformers: Rise of The Beasts,” adds director Steven Caple JR. “To the fans, our music will feel fresh, nostalgic of the 1990s, and it will achieve a reimagining of the musical composition these films are known for. With Jongnic Bontemps as this franchise’s first Black composer, we are proud and excited for audiences to connect with the film and culture through our music.” Paramount Pictures’ President of Music Randy Spendlove echoes this sentiment, adding, “We are proud and excited to welcome Jongnic Bontemps to the Transformers universe. His music is epic, emotional, and inspired and will be an amazing addition to the legendary franchise.”

Following the critical and commercial success of Bumblebee, Paramount and Hasbro announced a sequel would be happening in early 2019. In November 2020, Caple was hired as director for the film, becoming the first filmmaker of color to direct a live-action Transformers film. By 2021, Ramos and Fishback were cast in the lead human roles, in a first for the franchise having its main leads being actors of color, and details for the film were revealed that summer in a virtual event held by Paramount. Like its predecessor, it is the second Transformers live-action film not to be directed by Michael Bay, who once again serves as producer.
Principal photography began on June 7, 2021, in Los Angeles. Filming also took place in parts of Peru such as Machu Picchu, Cusco, Tarapoto, San Martín Montreal and Brooklyn. On October 20, it was announced that filming had officially wrapped. Jongnic Bontemps will provide the film's score, after previously working with Caple on his directorial debut, The Land. Bontemps is the first person of color to compose for a live-action Transformers film, and the third composer in the series after Steve Jablonsky and Dario Marianelli.
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is scheduled to be released theatrically in the United States on June 9, 2023, by Paramount Pictures. Two sequels are in development.
