Transformers 3D!

Written by Darren 'Starscream' Jamieson on February 28, 2010 | Transformers 3 (2011) |

michael-bayAfter having witnessed the success of James Cameron’s Avatar, it is perhaps no surprise that Michael Bay, director of Transformers and Transformers 2 Revenge of the Fallen, is considering a third movie in 3D.

According to reports, Bay is conducting tests into 3D technology to see how the Autobots and Decepticons look. Bay stated in an interview with MTV:

It’s a process we’re testing with some ‘Transformers’ scenes,” he said. “How successful it is with my movie in terms of a lot of real stuff coming out of the frame, real dirt, real complicated little particles coming towards the lens, because hopefully that process will work. I’ve seen some tests that look great on other movies. I just want to see how it looks on my footage.

Bay also said that a lot of new characters will appear in Transformers 3, though whether that means the Dinobots or not is another question. As far as locations go, Moscow and Chicago have been revealed as central locations for action sequences.

War for Cybertron Transformers Trailer

Written by Darren 'Starscream' Jamieson on February 27, 2010 | Video Games |

We’ve just received word from Atari that the trailer for ‘Transformers: War for Cybertron’ is now available to watch on YouTube. The video game features two separate campaigns where you can play as either Autobots or Decepticons, battling for your home planet of Cybertron. Here is the blurb from Atari, and the game trailer:

Transformers: War for Cybertron features two distinct storylines: the AUTOBOT campaign tells a story of heroism to save their home planet against overwhelming odds, and the DECEPTICON campaign tells a story of an unquenchable thirst for power to control the universe. For the first time in a TRANSFORMERS title, fans will be able to play the game with their friends through team-based online co-op, or go head to head in a variety of intense, online multiplayer game modes. The game features a sci-fi art style that introduces to fans the entire living, metallic world of CYBERTRON, as well as all-new visualizations of the iconic TRANSFORMERS characters in their original Cybertronian forms. Transformers: War for Cybertron is in development for Xbox 360, PS3, PC, Wii and Nintendo DS.

Is Transformers Revenge of the Fallen the worst film of the year?

Written by Darren 'Starscream' Jamieson on February 2, 2010 | Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen |

transformers2It hardly seems fair considering we thought it was much better than the first film, but Michael Bay’s Transformers sequel, Transformers Revenge of the Fallen is up for an award – worst film of the year.

The Razzie Awards has shortlisted Transformers 2 for this ‘to be avoided’ award, in one of the movie’s seven nominations. Very unfair indeed.

Megan Fox has also been nominated for worst actress for her part as Michaela in the Transformers movie. Megan faces stiff competition from another Transformers actress, Julie White.

It’s not a good time for Marvel either as GI Joe has also been heavily nominated. Having seen GI Joe on a plane recently, I was hoping for the plane to crash so I could miss the end of the film!
