Film & TV Transformers 3

[Kobe]

This franchise won't be remembered as a classic but, I love it. Script for the last movie was poor. I enjoy watching this movie because the Transformers are the most awesome CGI I have ever seen in a movie. Its that time when information on the movie starts flowing faster as production for the final part is already under way.

What to expect from the movie:

"I'll take some of the criticism," says Bay, standing at a set built to resemble a dilapidated nuclear reactor. "It was very hard to put (the sequel) together that quickly after the writers' strike (of 2007-08)."

Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura says the rush strained the plot: "We tried to do too many things in the second movie, which didn't give enough time in any one of them. We were constantly jumping to the next piece of information, the next place."

Bay is not one for mea culpas, but he says he can do better. "This one really builds to a final crescendo. It's not three multiple endings," the director says.

Bay calls the second film's villain, The Fallen, "kind of a shit character." The new movie's foe is certain to make fans of the original '80s incarnation smile: Shockwave, the robot cyclops-turned-laser-cannon, who became dictator of their home world of Cybertron after the other Autobots and Decepticons journeyed to Earth.

"One thing we're getting rid of is what I call the dorky comedy," Bay adds. So the twins, the two bumbling, slang-spewing robots? "They're basically gone," he says, though John Turturro returns for comic relief.

Plot details are under wraps, but it delves into the space race between the U.S.S.R. and the USA, suggesting there was a hidden Transformers role in it all that remains one of the planet's most dangerous secrets. "The movie is more of a mystery," Bay says. "It ties in what we know as history growing up as kids with what really happened."

Bay hints that there may be a lot of that. "As a trilogy, it really ends," he says. "It could be rebooted again, but I think it has a really killer ending."

My Aunt in Chicago told me they are filming right around her office area. She will get me pictures of whats going on.........well I hope so. Some are happy about the filming in Chicago for economic reasons. Anyway, there are currently loads of production pictures available on the web. I'd appreciate if any other fans posted on this thread about any news on the movie. Thought I'd start off with a bunch of stuff just to keep ya'll up to par with what the latest is.

First off, the obvious: Megan Fox got dropped from the movie. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley replaces her.

The newest Autobot to join Transformers: the Ferrari 458 Italia.

I have no idea whats going on with Bumble Bee.

Initially Michael Bay said this about 3D:

I shoot complicated stuff, I put real elements into action scenes and honestly, I am not sold right now on the conversion process.... Right now, it looks like fake 3-D, with layers that are very apparent. You go to the screening room, you are hoping to be thrilled, and you're thinking, huh, this kind of sucks. People can say what they want about my movies, but they are technically precise, and if this isn't going to be excellent, I don't want to do it. And it is my choice.... I'm used to having the A-team working on my films, and I'm going to hand it over to the D-team, have it shipped to India and hope for the best? This conversion process is always going to be inferior to shooting in real 3-D. Studios might be willing to sacrifice the look and use the gimmick to make $3 more a ticket, but I'm not.

Needless to say, it will be in 3D.

This video clip should bring a smile to fans of the cartoon.

[2Pax]

Why is Michael Bay wearing one of my grandmother's curtains?

Good to see the cast taking time out for the fans.

Actually lokoing forward to seeing this.

 

[Kobe]

Some silence in the video but, you'll get the drift of whats going on.

This also has some production footage of a Decepticon attack. Some people were taking photos and they were told to turn off their flashes. No flash please

The original article on this site Transformers 3 IS not Being Shot in 3D [Updated] - Screen Rant made Michael Bay respond on his forum with this:

Re: Transformers 3 is not in 3D?

Who is this moron posting about what I'm shooting with??? People have no idea how hard we have worked to bring 3D filming into live action shooting. We have invented rigs and systems to place 3d cameras like no other live action movie has done before. The proof will be noticed on the final product.

Michael

^^Classic statement

 

[Ristol]

Since the first two movies were inarguably terrible, why do they continue to make them?

 

[Shadows]

^They make $.

 

[Kobe]

^They make $.

Precisely.....

- Transformers profit: $560 million
- Transformers 2 profit: $636 million

Hell, what money making studio needs a good script when a bad script is working just as well?
