Transformers Possible Explaination for Extra Footage in Imax.

[Lookout03]

I was looking up to see about showing of Transformers in Imax when I stumbled across this http://www.cinematical.com/2007/08/19/extended-cut-of-transformers-hits-imax-next-month/

In July, Erik Davis told us about an interview with Mark Ryan, the voice of the Bumblebee robot, in which the actor mentioned DVD material of a prequel that would set up a potential second film. An IMAX version would be a great way to present that footage. As soon as we find out more about what's in this extended IMAX version, we'll keep you posted.

Possibly what we will see in Imax?

Here is a link to the interview with Mark Ryan.

I contacted Michael to verify if the IMAX release of Transformers will include additional footage not seen in the first theatrical release, and he has confirmed that there will be about 2 extra minutes.

Two minutes? I'm hoping for some more of Cybertron.

 

[millennium movies]

Im hoping for more bots or even a assembly scene where the decepticons speak alone together

 

[rashad]

2 minutes? That's all? lol

 

[millennium movies]

Typical milking crap!

 

[OobeDoobBenubi]

I hope this Prequel Footage is on the DVD

 

[Killing Joke926]

Typical milking crap!

You're telling me. I say make a petition for a dirctor's cut.


WHO'S WITH ME!

I remember one of the writers saying an additional 17 minutes would be added to the IMAX experience.

 

[millennium movies]

I doubt Bay would be lying. He could have no idea but i doubt he'd say anything if that was the case.

2 extra minutes of footage will equal 1 minute and 46 seconds of human footage, and 14 seconds of stand-still (non-action) scenes involving robots with a few more lines of dialogue.

 

[Lookout03]

hmmm interesting... I wonder if that prequel is included somewhere...

 

[SpideyZERO]

Probably more actions?

 

[Wolfwood]

2 extra minutes of footage will equal 1 minute and 46 seconds of human footage, and 14 seconds of stand-still (non-action) scenes involving robots with a few more lines of dialogue.

Probably, but I've never seen a movie in the Imax before and 2 minutes is a good enough to reason to check it out.

2 minutes isn't bad for action, if it's for more human scenes though I am going to be one bitter fan......who am I kidding, it's on Imax so I won't care as much.

It's probably just humans. The company would want to use every cent they paid for in CGI to put in the theatrical release. I hope I'm wrong and I hope it's more then two minutes.

I'm going simply for the IMAX experience. I don't expect the extra two minutes to amount to anything at all.
