Michael Bay’s next ‘Transformers’ pic gets a title & poster

Image cache, Movies, News, , , ,

The fourth movie in Michael Bay’s Transformers franchise will be called Transformers: Age of Extinction. Eye the teaser poster above.

Though plot details are still being kept under wraps, the title and poster more than hint at the introduction of the Dinobots. In addition to the good Autobots and the big bad Decepticons there are the Dinobots, robots that transform into–wait for it–dinosaurs!

Mark Walhberg replaces Shia LaBeouf as star and the rest of the cast goes like this: Jack Reynor, Stanley Tucci, Kelsey Grammer, Nicola Peltz, Sophia Myles, Li Bingbing, and T.J. Miller. The pic aims for a June 27, 2014 release.

Trailer: Transformers: Dark of the Moon

Movies, Video, , , , ,

Yup, Michael Bay just kicked it up a notch. In a nutshell, Optimus Prime is mad at the human race because we never made him privy to this information: during our mission on the moon in the ’60s, man discovered an entire Decepticon army including Optimus’ long lost predecessor Sentinel Prime. And then all hell breaks loose on Earth. Shia LaBeouf, his new girlfriend Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, and John Turturro’s Agent Simmons all make appearances here.

The third installment of Transformers makes it way to theatres July 1.

Bay wants to kill Fox off in Transformers 3 [Don’t do it!]

Movies, News, , , ,

So we are all aware that Transformers 3 has started production, director Michael Bay is at the helm again, and Shia LeBeof and co-star Megan Fox will play the lead roles.  According to the latest rumors, a major character from the series will be killed off.  It has been reported that Bay wants Mikaela Banes, Fox’s character, “out of the series in a gory death scene in the first few frames of Transformers 3 and (replaced) with another gorgeous young actress.”  The source of this rumor also claims that “Michael’s pretty much discovered Megan and now he’s very quietly looking for her replacement. … He hasn’t decided if he’s going to kill her off in the next movie, but he just wants to be prepared.”

I know it’s only a rumor but I’ll say it anyway: Mr. Michael Bay, please do not kill off the sole character that sells your movie.  Megan Fox’s appearence was the reason I went to theatres to watch the sequel.  It would be a disservice to all parties involved if you were to make such a grave mistake.  Thank you.

Michael Bay signs on for Transformers 3, welcomes back Megan Fox

Movies, News, , , ,

Last Thursday director Michael Bay made it official that he would helm the next Transformers flick.  In a short blurb he posted on his website, Bay confirms a July 1, 2011 release date, that a “great Transformers story” is in the works, and he pokes fun at Megan Fox’s remarks she made in an interview with UK’s Wonder Magazine.

When asked about working with Bay on Transformers Fox said: “He’s like Napoleon and he wants to create this insane, infamous mad-man reputation. He wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is. So he’s a nightmare to work for but when you get him away from set, and he’s not in director mode, I kind of really enjoy his personality because he’s so awkward, so hopelessly awkward. He has no social skills at all. And it’s endearing to watch him. He’s vulnerable and fragile in real life and then on set he’s a tyrant. Shia [Labeouf] and I almost die when we make a Transformers movie. He has you do some really insane things that insurance would never let you do.”

And here is Michael Bay’s official statement:

Transformers 3: July 1st, 2011
10/01/2009 09:41 AM
Well its official: We have a great Transformers 3 story. The release date is now July 1st 2011. Not 2012.

Today is Day One. This morning started with an ILM meeting for five hours in San Francisco. Currently I’m flying with writer Ehren Kruger to Rhode Island to talk to Hasbro about new characters.

P.S. Megan Fox, welcome back. I promise no alien robots will harm you in any way during the production of this motion picture. Please consult your Physician when working under my direction because some side effects can occur, such as mild dizziness, intense nausea, suicidal tendencies, depression, minor chest hair growth, random internal hemorrhaging and inability to sleep. As some directors may be hazardous to your health, please consult your Doctor to determine if this is right for you.

Pain and Gain is right after shooting of Trans 3.

Transformers: Rise of the Fallen

Hot Stuff, Movies, Review, , , , , ,

…or Megan Fox is Smoking Hot.  Michael Bay’s Transformers 2 is a fun movie.  Fun = tons of explosions, transformers metal-on-metal action, Shia Lebeof running, lots of comedic scenes, and, of course, watching Megan Fox do her thing (look mighty fine).  The story itself is a continuation from the first Transformers film, obviously, and it involves the war between the Autobots and the Decepticons.  With humans stuck in the middle of it all, Sam Witwicky and his pal Optimus Prime are their only hope for survival.  If you go into the movie looking forward to great dialogue and Oscar-worthiness, you will be disappointed.  The trick to really enjoying this movie is twofold: go into it looking forward to having a good time andanticipating the hotness that is Ms. Fox.  If you follow this advice, you will highly enjoy Transformers 2.  Guaranteed.  Oh, and the CGI is stunning.

Seeing it in IMAX at the midnight showing also helped.  People (mostly comprised of Transformers fans) were hootin’ and hollerin’ the whole time, clapping, and whistling when you-know-who enters the scene.  Two memorable quotes from the showing: (1) “Yeah, Optimus Prime roooocks!!”  (2) [Megan Fox enters first scene] “This is the only reason why I’m here!”
