I've mentioned the trailer for the new Michael Bay live-action Transformers yes, it has a Wikipedia entry! - movie, but just to rehash it for the folks who have had trouble finding it - or otherwise forgetting to view it - below is the teaser for the movie.
What's awesome about the project is that it's slated to be released on July 4th of next year. The marketing for the flick should be pretty unmatched, and it comes out after Spiderman 3, so there's no rub there.
What sucks for the people who want to see this movie is that Michael Bay is doing it. I've already ranted about the guy, but I'll give you another little nugget: He's being way too serious about the integrity of the Transformers. The freakin' Transformers!
Which, now that I think of it, isn't a bad notion in and of itself, because a good movie may come out of this. Obviously, he didn't give a crap about Pearl Harbor and you see how that turned out. Rumors are all over the place about the movie. Some people are saying that you won't be able to see a "Transformation" (?)(would that be the right word) until opening day or that he won't use the "More than Meets the Eye" tagline to promote the movie.
And that, my friends, is just scary.

I think all we can do at this point is hope and pray that Michale Bay thinks about the fans of this movie. If he takes into consideration how important this series is to many of America's 18-30 aged population, it will be a great success. But is Mr bay decides to go off, do his own thing and make a statement, I do believe will be in for a stinker. And not only a stinker, but a travesty of a project as well.
ReplyDeleteThat said, if there is one thing we are definately in for in Michael Bay's Transformers, it is explosions. Lots and lots of shots of stuff blowing up. My prediction: think the Unibomber meets the US military. Yeah, I said it.
