New Release Date

[Advanced Dark]

Not a bad move at all. Transformers which to me could wind up being a massive flop might face some fierce competition from FF2. Now FF2 has it's own week or two to own. The good thing is Tim Story and crew have done this before. Past mistakes or trials can be put aside. However don't be shocked if the release date is moved again ala Ghost Rider.

Script has been confirmed by Avi...
August date has not been confirmed...

Story did say august. Originally it was june. So who knows

Fox sending sci-fi 'Guys' into future


By Tatiana Siegel

20th Century Fox has halted preproduction on the big-budget, sci-fi comedy "Used Guys." The Ben Stiller-Jim Carrey starrer was to have begun shooting June 11.

"Due to scheduling issues, production is being delayed on 'Used Guys' ... until sometime next year," the studio said. "The Jay Roach-directed film requires a long prep for its futuristic settings, and both actors have films scheduled for later in the year. All the parties remain committed to making the picture when time permits."


However, sources close to the project insist that the $112-budgeted film is dead, at least in its current incarnation with Stiller and Carrey toplining. "Guys" would have reunited the two comic titans for the first time since Stiller directed Carrey in 1996's "The Cable Guy."

It was Stiller's involvement in another Fox tentpole -- Shawn Levy's "Night at the Museum," which is filming in Vancouver and New York -- that prevented the actor from being available for the "Guys" start date next month.

Fox had slated "Guys" for a June 15, 2007, release date. In its place, the studio's "Fantastic Four" sequel starring Michael Chiklis, Jessica Alba, Chris Evans and Ioan Gruffudd will move into that spot. "Fantastic Four 2" had been set to bow July 4, 2007.

That would indeed be welcomed news. 2 more months.

Don't remember reading that, I remember him saying April at one point and then that was changed to summer...but other than that don't remember a confirmation.

Also, Ghost Rider is Feb. 16, 2007

I stand corrected, as in I corrected myself ... lmao...

BUT hope that along with the change in release date, comes a change in shooting dates as well...

People have this slightly twisted in my opinion, moving the movie forward is nothing but a sign of confidence, if they pushed it back I would be slightly choked but moving it forward is great, means things are going productively and that they are using a proper budget. June 15th is a solid date.

Tim Story said it, when he confirmed Full Doom. When he was caught heading for a flight.

Well if they didn't think it was going to be ready I don't think they would movie it up. I see this only as good news I also think this means that filming will start in June of this year. You cant start filming in August and have everything done by June 15 this isn't War of the Worlds and that seemed rushed. So I see this as good news.

I'll repeat this

I posted this on another board
"This helps it big time. SM3 Shrek 3 and Pirates3 will have made a big chunk of there business already and I don't see great things for Oceans 13 and it will drop 50 % and theres nothing big ahead of it until June 29 when Evan Almighty and an animated movie opens. I didn't like to see it but it's a good move just like last year."

Basically everyone here needs to take a chill pill. You can't just assume Fox is going to do the same exact thing this time around like they did last time. They know what they did right and what they did wrong (even though I really enjoyed the film).Right now we pretty much know nothing but the release date. I'm really starting to dislike when people assume things. If they start filming in June then I have all the confidence in the world with the film, but if they start in August then it will be rushed and the only studio that could pull off all the visuals in that short of time is ILM and last I checked they're not doing the effects. So eveyone just calm down.

wow i didn't see that coming. nice brass you have fox. always being bullied around when we call dibs on something and someone else takes it.

 

[Dynasty]

I have this over-whelming feeling that Transformers isn’t going to be all that great or successful, and I’m not just going off on a leg here. Next to the July 4th/Fantastic 4 similarities this date is way better for many reasons.

Hmmmm....well Michael did say in an early, early interview that they would be back in April....BUT....the principal shooting doesn't include the actors.....cause as of yesterday....Jessica was spending mom's day with her mom at the spa in Hollywood and her hair is still brunette....

So even though I hope that June is the start date....don't really see April as a correct date....UNLESS they are doing some of the simple extra footage, etc....which could be I guess.

Well feelings of this sort can very easily turn to digestive problems due to eating crow....so I don't know that I would speculate quite that much...

you'd better be careful if you say anything bad about transformers in a FF you might get put on probation. it happen to me before. just a word of advice.

That’s what I was saying; they probably started shooting cinematography shots and ect. in April, and the cast comes in at June to start their shooting, but Alba might not come right away possibly? They might shoot some of the scenes without her first? But that’s just a guess, or maybe she’ll be there in June.

cause there affraid. they where affraid of tom cruise last year. now this time there affraid of giant robots that turn into cars. i'm shutting up before i make anyone mad by saying negative things about transformers.

Where did I say anything bad about Transformers? I am not saying this to u but this a superhero movie board, where people come to post their opinions now if I was to come in here and say I Transformers is a no good piece of *insert profanity here* yah I could get in trouble but if I talk about Michael Bay's previous work and the steady decline in quality and my opinion of the cast, screen writers, ect. then I’m just stating my opinion of the movie, and I would be very surprised if I could get in trouble, as long I'm not going around in random threads bringing it up, but I’m just addressing things said already, but thanks for your concern.

i'm not saying you did. but if you say TF's might flop they take it the wrong way. thats all i'm saying.

 

[Sardaukar]

How did you get fooled the last time? You were down on the movie from the beginning....

Wrong. I actually gave this movie a chance up till the plot details became clear. Even then I was willing to swallow my words until the dreadful trailer, which just confirmed my fears.

 

[Dynasty]

Expect Change, but this is what is stated for June 07 as of now.

June 8
- Ocean's 13
- Surf's Up

June 15
- Fantastic Four 2

June 22
- The Brave One
- Stardust

June 29
- Evan Almighty
- Ratatouille

Ocean's 13 is target to a different audience than FF so there's not much of a problem than that, if you ask me looks pretty damn good, lots of room to shine.

 

[The Apatow Crew]

June 15 was the same excact day as Batman Begins opened last year.

You call giving that a chance!?! I don't like people that have such un-positive things to say, yet you come into a Fantastic Four movie board and post negative things, if i am not mistaken that is called being a hater.
