Dark of the Moon The Official Transformers 3 News And Speculation Thread

[dark_b]

Actually if you want to read this brief interview that AICIN did with sir Ridley Scott, http://www.aintitcool.com/node/45468 you might learn a thing or two about the 3-d cameras (I did), and Scott also talks about Bay realizing that there is "no difference/challenge" in shooting 3-d. Technologically yes, but it's not impractical as Bay thought it would be. I'd say any camera, even IMAX one can be converted to a 3-d camera using a high speed beam splitter.
Read the interview . . .

but you can not make a 3D imax big budgemovie. even if God would come down it would be impossible.

there was a 3D IMAX documentary made some months ago. no way that they could do this with a blockbuster.

you think ILM will render two renders at a resolution higher then 3 K? where ? on this planet in 2010? never.

I'm only saying what Bay wanted to do. Which is simply having more IMAX shots in TF3, than TFROTF had. Also by TF3 being shot in 3D, would have to mean that the IMAX camera would have to be retrofitted with 3D capabilities.

I agree with you, no one could make a 2&1/2 hour long IMAX 3D movie . . . that would be too expensive, but 10 to maybe 15 minutes of IMAX 3D footage is feasable.

Just seen this video of Bee, Sideswipe and the Italia..... does anyone else think the Stingray is missing a roof? Could the images of the roofless Sideswipe i posted recently be legit??

EDIT- And i forget to post the link

Youtube Link

I think you're correct Dr. Thank you for posting that

 

[Figs]

Is it true that Rodimus Prime/Hot Rod will be in this or is it fan speculation.

 

[BlackLantern]

**** 3d

 

[Avangarde]

Sideswipe and the new bot (hopefully Hot Rod) hanging with Bee means 1 thing. More screentime for Sideswipe. t:

That's how it should've been in ROTF with Sideswipe and Jolt replacing the Twins.

It could be Sunstreaker, that way we'll have the real twins

 

[Jake Cassidy]

With a name like Sunstreaker he has to be yellow doesn't he?

 

[Dr Lee]

Is it true that Rodimus Prime/Hot Rod will be in this or is it fan speculation.

Fan speculation based around the Italia...

 

[Ipodman]

Wasnt there a red looking Bumblebee too? Could be either Hot Rod or Cliffjumper

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Any thoughts on who the Italia may be?

Gotta be Hot Rod IMO.

 

[Dr Lee]

That seems to be the general theory that i've seen around the internet....

 

[Darth Rodimus]

Hell Ya. Hot Rod baby. I hope.

 

[Dr Lee]

Someone who revealed the twins were back over on TFW2005 has added that he's seen a white and blue trailer with the autobot symbol on it on set.... as well as a stunt involving another rolling bus...

He said he had pics, but he'd be posting them later.... if he'd not been right about the twins, i would just ignore him.... but as he was...then this COULD be an interesting find...

 

[S.A.A.D.]

A poster at TFW2005 who gave us news previously about Transformers 3
before,has provided us with more news today.

"First I will start by saying this Movie from the things I know will be AWESOME, nothing like part 2, and yes the Twins are in it but I found out that it's only for a short time (Im not saying they die, but Im also not saying they live lol)
*
Secondly I know you guys just found out Sideswipe will be a convertable and that's awesome, sorry I didnt post about that sooner I just didnt have the time to get on here...........But just wait till you find out who the "RED" Car is! lol
*
Now for a little bit of a spoiler from some of the scenes, one scene will be shot in Sam's new office building where he works and it will be picked up and rocked around by a Transformer (un-named to what I know) that's on a huge moving platform, really cool looking thing, it's yet to be finished as of yet but I figured id tell you guys about it
*
Another being a full fize Bus being flipped over and tossed for another scene that is going to be shot very soon, I dont know what Transformer is going to be "tossing" that bus but it's going to be another Bay moment forsure lol
*
Lastly The Trailer was spotted! yes it was!.......Im very exited about this because it's been underwraps big time,nobody will say who it is (and I dont think anybody really knows) but if I had to guess it's Ultra Magnus, It's got a full trailer with a big autobot emblem and it's like a cool looking blue and chrome.
*
The reason I THINK it's Ultra Magnus is because Prime has Flames, this Truck DID NOT it was the same blue as the trailer, unless this is an atl color/mode of Prime then it's gotta be Magnus.......I wont know 100% for a little while but either way this is some cool news!
*

Ill keep you guys posted with what I can when I can..........Enjoy"-

Tell him to please quit typing 'lol'.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Really, REALLY hope the Ultra Magnus thing is true, though not sure I want him to just be a trailer, was hoping for just a different type of truck, but nevertheless, if its true about him being in my anticipation will simply skyrocket!

 

[Avangarde]

If it is Hotrod wont they have to change the name to Rodimus due Hasbro not owning the rights to the name "Hotrod" anymore, I'm pretty sure that's why all the current Hotrod toys are all called Rodimus. Either that or just the toy that is released for the movie will be called Rodimus.

 

[Jake Cassidy]

There was a movie called 'Hot Rod', so I don't see why a character in a movie can't be called 'Hot Rod'. Hasbro had to name the Jazz and Ratchet toys 'Autobot Jazz' and 'Autobot Ratchet', so they same thing should be able to be done with 'Hot Rod'. Who owns the rights to the name anyway?

 

[Mr. Earle]

Tell him to please quit typing 'lol'.

Agreed.
Also, what does he mean by trailer? Shouldnt there be a truck to tow said trailer? And why would Magnus get a trailer when Prime himself doesnt? That has been one of the major gripes of the fans!

Bay wanted Prime to be huge so he changed the truck from G1 to this redneck thing where he could just as easily used the iconic truck from G1 and have the trailer be part of Prime when he transforms. They could have painted it red and blue so that it'd fit with the rest of him when he's in robot mode.

 

[Jake Cassidy]

The robots match the size of the vehicles. Imagine how big Prime would've been with the trailer.

 

[Superhero 101]

Ultra Magnus sounds sweet and Rodimus would be cool!!

 

[Jake Cassidy]

Yeah, I hope both of them are in it. I really want to see Prowl and Wheeljack too, but that may be too crowded.

 

[BrollySupersj]

While I had no "major" gripes with the second movie, I'm hoping the third will be as surreal and nicely paced as the first.

Oh, and no more Decepticons getting owned. It's time for the Autobots to get their assed kicked.

Well, they soundly got ****ed up in the first one, the second movie was basically them getting payback.
