Age of Extinction Its Official Transformers 3 set for 2011!

[Jake Cassidy]

The first one's good.

Fixed.

Sure more people might go see TF3 in drives but thats not the point. Captain American and Thor will more than likely be much better films than TF3.

Since when has the GA defined a good movie. They've enjoyed good movies but they've disliked them as well.

So they aren't the be all end all in terms of determining the quality of a film.

Plus Captain America and Thor are owned by Paramount so they'll arrange them appropriately because they also want these franchises to be fruitful.

i find it funny how the whole world goes to see TDK and no one bats an eye....pretty much everyone goes to see TF2 and all of a sudden the GA are nothing more than sheep because they didnt agree with the assessment of several people on the internet????

 

[craigdbfan]

I said in that post that the GA is not a good indicator on determining a good/bad film. Not that they are sheep or anything along those lines.

Let me try explaining once more.

Just because a movie gets a ton of money at the BO because people watched it in drives doesn't necessarily mean the movie is good itself. In some cases a "good/great movie" also gets tons of cash because people also enjoyed themselves.

They also enjoy themselves with movies of lesser quality in substance like ROTF. This isn't a bad thing IMO but just shows that the GA is far less critical than those on forums. They just want to enjoy themselves let it be a "bad" movie or a "good" movie.

Being entertained is key to GA (even if it might be seen as crap by critics or those online or vice versa).

TF2 was a 2 hour and 30 minutes money shot trailer.

remember when a good cinematic game trailer is realesed'? remember when there are always some guys who say '' can you imagine a 2 hour movie full of this?''

this is TF2. its a cinematic 2 hour money shot trailer. and the third one will be the same. i am not insulted when people say that only the dumbest people enjoy this movie. because i watch it for the CGI action scenes on a big screen. is this wrong? i dont think so. i can only watch the game trailers on my monitor.
when ILM makes a 2 hour showreel then belive me i want to watch this on the big screen.

Bay already said they have a story ready (not the script). You mean to tell me Ehren Kruger who was a writer contributing to the story in the previous film and Bay specifies he is meeting with him to talk about characters had not previously met regarding the new story?

Its not assumption, Ehren Kruger is involved as a writer in this movie he isn't just a "character idea guy".

OK, see you are bringing in things that are not in the quote. The quote says Bay, Kruger, and Hasbro are meeting to discuss new characters. You are then assuming that Bay and Kruger are going to write the script. OK, he was a contributing writer on the last one, and now he's meeting with Bay and Hasbro. You're right, he must be writing the script. Heaven help us, the movie is already lost, and all we know for certain is Bay, Kruger, and Hasbro are meeting to discuss characters!


Oh, and it's "droves", not "drives".

It probably wont be good noting this franchise track record. I've enjoyed ILMs work and thats about it.

Like dark_b mentioned I'll watch this third film like the previous films to check out what ILM has in store. I'm also a fan of the bots movie design as well. A lot of the preconditioned negative leaning skepticism has a lot to do with ROTF being a dump heap.

Again the only saving grace of these movies has been the sfx.

Thanks for the spelling correction too. So helpful.

I can see Thor, Captain America and POTC 4 being moved to summer 2012. Warners isn't going to risk fans' wraths again if they move the final HP movie off for another year (not to mention they began filming this February), and Sony isn't going to budge on their May 2011 date for Spider-Man 4.

I think it's pretty much over for Cap in 2011. Maybe even Thor... POTC still has yet to announce a date, and they probably want late May now that July fourth will go to TF3. Way to drop the ball Marvel.

You mean summer of 2011 right ?
Cap will probably not be released in 2011 but i can see Thor being released in 2011 , just not in the summer.

 

[Dr Lee]

The Twins weren't racist. They were just probably the worst characters ever committed to film. Anyone who found them funny is a moron I'm afraid.

I'm sorry let me rephrase

Anyone over the age of 12 who found them funny is a moron.

Overall the twins were irritating... but they did have a few chuckle worthy lines here and there

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Ehhh well I liked the sorta sibling rivalry thing they had going on, giving each other digs every so often. But their voices...ARRRGGGHHHH I hated them. Every time hey spoke I literally squirmed in my seat.

 

[FaT_tONle]

Ya... but there are contractual obligations with that. Might have no choice but to stick to where they are now.

Kurtzman and Orci Definitely Not Returning for Transformers 3; Script Duties Are All Ehren Kruger’s

Producer Don Murphy maintains a pretty lively website and forum that was crashed for a bit this morning when Roberto Orci confirmed in a forum post that he and Alex Kurtzman would not return at all for Transformers 3, leaving script duties entirely in the hands of Ehren Kruger. (Well, not entirely, as Michael Bay will have his input.) This is no surprise to anyone who’s been following along over the past couple months.

One poster asked today if ‘Bob and Alex’ really weren’t returning for the next film, to which Orci responded “It’s true.” Back in March, Orci had intimated, also on Murphy’s forum, that the pair would not return to write the third Transformers film. “Time for fresh blood!” Orci said . “The main reason we would move on is because we risk getting stale and comfortable. If you only sing one song for too long, you miss the opportunity to sing news songs. We’ll see.” Since then, the screenwriting name bandied about with respect to the film is Ehren Kruger, who also worked on Revenge of the Fallen.

I’m no great fan of Kruger’s, and many peg the writer’s work with Michael Bay as being the source of the ‘humor’ in Revenge of the Fallen that many found juvenile and terrible. (And, judging by the box office numbers, more found delightful. Go figure.) Can we expect more of that funny stuff in the third film? Seems reasonable to assume so at this point. The most interesting post from Orci, however, was one concerning the crude humor of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. One post brings up anecdotal tales about parents not taking their kids to see the second film because of the humor, to which Orci responds, “I can’t blame them.”

Meanwhile, we know that Bay has a story in mind and is already beginning work on the third film for that 2011 release date that Paramount announced and Bay originally renounced.

-/film

Just as I thought Ehren and Bay will be the only ones working on the script.

Still hoping that they'll bring in another writer/s to slap some sense into this inevitable possibly more ridiculous movie than ROTF.

Sigh.

 

[J.Howlett]

It's not like Kurtzman and Orci's script for the first film is a work of genius. There are problems with that script that should've been taken care of during the writing process in order to streamline it further.

Maggie and Glen's characters should've been gone easily. The reasonings to take the final battle to LA should've been more realistic. The scene at Sam's house with the Autobots should've been gone from the script as well. Get all of those things out in the writing phase and that film is far better and fifteen minutes shorter.

I'm going to make a prediction right now. I'm pretty confident in saying that the third film will be much better than Revenge of the Fallen just for the simple fact that everyone has a negative attitude towards this announcement and the fact that Krueger is writing it with Bay's influence.

And more than likely, the negativity will continue up until the first reviews come in and the unthinkable happens...they ace the film.

Write it down.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Well look at how much money TF2 made. I doubt they'll change anything.

The first rule of business is not to change anything that isn't broken. Financially, Transformers is faaaar from broken.

 

[Ipodman]

The trailers for Transformers 3 better be good, or lots of people wont go to see it

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Heh yea riiiiight. Loads of people will go see it no matter how crap it is.

I also am pretty confident TF3 will be better recieved than ROTF, I still cant believe some people were expecting TDK from ROTF when Michael Bay was directing it, but I enjoyed it anyway.

But yeah, I think this franchise will break the mould and we will get a 3rd movie that is better than its predecessor.

 

[J.Howlett]

Ace,

We won't know how financially broken the franchise is until opening weekend. The after affects of people's reactions to Revenge of the Fallen won't show up that weekend.

Now, if Bay is smart, he's heard the criticism when it comes to the humor and the fact that, no matter how he tries to change it, Transformers is a kid's product.

He can still make it edgy but he has to tone it down. I'm sure his meeting with Spielberg before this announcement went along those lines...no matter how much Michael touts the idea that people loved what he did because of the box office....

This is still Bay's show but Paramount/Dreamworks and Hasbro still have a product with some life in it well after Bay leaves the franchise and I'm sure they want to keep it that way.

The third film has to secure that.

 

[S.A.A.D.]

Ehren may have had input on things that sucked in TF:ROTF,but I have alot of faith in him that he can do a good job writing TF 3,it's gonna take more than just crappy humor for me to not like another Transformers movie so I am very estatic about TF 3. And I know I didn't worry about this but people should be happy that there won't be any interference (i.e. the strike) with the writing process. I find it very relieving that Orci says he is a good pick
for writing the movie a side from him(Ehren) being a Transformers fan and knowing their history well.

 

[SpiderByte]

It will be awesome. Maybe even as awesome as Ryan Reynolds. But still.

Bay made TONS of cash with that film. I bet that bay will spend almost all the money he earned on TF3, and then, if there is one, TF3's money on TF4.

 

[Ipodman]

TF3 better show more of Cybertron...

 

[Jake Cassidy]

Don't get carried away there, mate. t:

I wasn't expecting the Dark Knight, and I still thought it was a piece of ****. So your argument makes no sense to me.

 

[J.Howlett]

No surprise...http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/trans...-bay-possible-big-bad-tf3-spoilers-natch.html

I have this sneaky suspicion that Michael Bay will remake his own film (Armageddon) to make this movie version of Unicron work on the screen.

It just seems fitting. Transformers 3 will not take place on Earth. And if so, how the hell do you incorporate Sam, Mikaela, Leo, and Simmons on this adventure if it takes place in space (Cybertron probably)....

This is the reason Bay met with ILM for five hours when the announcement of the third film was made...they've essentially have to get to work now to figure out now the heck to do Unicron.

 

[Ipodman]

I wonder how many people are actually looking forward to this... Unicron or not
