Transformers Transformers On Set Report from Scifi.com

[TigerClaw]

scifi.com has posted there on set report from the tranformers movie, They posted a lot more info and most of it regarding specific scenes that were being shot. Read about it here.

 

[nosebleed.]

The plot will be set in motion when 18-year-old Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) discovers his grandfather's pair of century-old glasses, improbably laser-etched with a map and information about the location of a key artifact, the "Energon" cube, which he then tries to sell on eBay.

???? wtf ????

When Bay got the first call from producer Steven Spielberg, he said, "My first thought was, 'Nah, I'm not interested.' And just because I thought, 'OK, how am I going to do a toy movie?' And then I realized, when I went to Hasbro, 'OK, start over and go for [a] realistic alien-invasion-robot movie on Earth.' And so, with that thinking in mind, that's how I went about it."

Great...our director didn't even want to direct it in the first place. No wonder he doesn't appeal to the fans...he's originally a non-fan. His realistic alien-invasion-robot comment really has me worried that he'll be approaching this more as WotW than what the Transformers originally was...which was two classes of warring robots.

The real truth... if you peruse his site shootforedit (unless its been removed since) is that Hasbro offerred him a cut of the toy sales. He had no intention of making the movie until then.

That pisses me off to no end. Instead of getting a director who is passionate about Transformers we have a director who opted for a nice chunk of the profit.

Seeing as how this movie has yet to be completed, I would guess there weren't a lot of directors jumping at the chance to do the movie. And honestly, think about the concept. Almost every movie that has attempted what this one is doing (reviving an old TV show) has pretty much failed. With that in mind, I can't say I'd blame a director for passing.

Actually i'm not suprised about this. I expected that from Bay. He's got an eye for $$$. I'm just glad he's directing the movie. Even though it's not everything i wanted. I know i won't be dissapointed in the action scenes, maybe the story won't be that good but i'll wait till 747. This is the way most of hollywood works...it's all about the money.

aarrrgh...edit. nevermind, i'm ranting.

I'm slowly going to the side of CFlash. The news coming out now is making me more and more depressed.

 

[nosebleed.]

I really want this movie to be good. I am still going to watch it but these little details really do irk me. Starscream, Megatron, Bay not a fan, all these script tidbits that make absolutely no sense...its very hard retaining faith in this movie.

 

[Advocate05]

I want it to be good to Nosebleed, but as news started coming out they've ...

1. Givin you a wedgie(script leak)
2. Punched you in the gut(autobot car reveal - bumblebee a camaro)
3. Kicked you in the face(prime a longnose with flames)
4. Poked you in the eyes with a pitchfork(the name reveal- no soundwave)
5. Kicked you in the balls(megatron and starscream - 'nuff said)

Theres not much more a man can take.

 

[nosebleed.]

I know...I still feel it. Bruised and battered as I am...I still have faith. But that doesn't mean that I won't voice my opinion.

But I'm going to kick XW2 in the eyelid if he says anymore stupid stuff like, "Welker is too screechy for Megatron".

OMG.

WHAT A .... no words.

None.

XW2 does not understand TransFormers.

Kinda like CFLASH whines about everything. They should hook up they'd make a great couple.

 

[Hotwire]

hey XW2, a gift for you man.

Just apply this to your forehead.

 

[Shinobi Rendar]

Let's not turn this into the DM boards.

 

[xwolverine2]

and i thought the FF fans were the worst and most protective ones here......


i was wrong.

But, they did pat folks on the head with Cullen. "There, there... don't cry" style. Though I wouldn't be in any way surprised if at the end of it all, he's got 1 line.

 

[Shinobi Rendar]

hey guys i was thinking...

It's only a few of us here right now (compared to the other superheroe threads). I predict a huge flood around for the next trailer coming in into these boards. I also predicts many rants.

thoughts?

Sorry... I calls em like I sees em.
I might be the resident stick-in-the-mud... but it appears I've been right. I do however hope that in the end I'm wrong.

He tries to sell the glasses on ebay not knowing what is on them, not the cube.

In regards to Bay's comments. Oh great, real glad they got a director that A. gives a **** and B. isn't interested until he can change everything to make his film. His own alien invasion film like WOTW.

Because Constantine was so faithful.
