With all the summer tentpoles now actively flexing their muscles, one has to wonder when Paramount will start getting busy with Transformers. Sure, the film does have a little more time with a July release, but that isn't stopping Warner Bros. with Harry Potter now is it.
Transformers Updates
To keep Transformers in the game, we figured we might as well have at least one update on the film today - no matter how minor. Michael Bay's website has posted a couple small statements to clear things up about Transformers and the recently-leaked TV spot.
spoke to Mike today...
He's been super busy editing the movie and in the process shooting the ads that will accompany the release of Transformers. He's doing ads that involve GM and Pepsi.
The unreleased ad (Prime speaks) that was posted on youtube was a test that European were making with the ads. The clip where OP was "speaking," lets just say that it wasn't OP or Cullen speaking. It was something the European studios added on their own. In fact, it was a test shot.
As reported by Slate, Spielberg and Bay are not at odds. Where do they come up with this?
As reported by naysayers and haters, Bay never said "the cartoons were amateur and our movie is spectacular" in Empire magazine. He was referring to the animation and complexity of the transformation of the cartoon robots themselves and not the cartoons as a whole.
I still believe Transformers will be one of the coolest films of the year, even beating out Spider-Man 3 on the cool factor. That's right, I said it!
Transformers opens to theatres on July 4th.
