Ain’t it cool news reports that Tom DeSanto has been bigging up the live action Transformers movie in an interview in Dreamwatch magazine. Check out the article here.

Some of the things Tom said

“There’s no better mythology to bring to the big screen than Transformers.
Transformers has got great characters and created an iconic world, and the
mythology still resonates with people 20 years after it was launched. Even
though they’re robots the characters have a lot of personality and a lot of
heart and people still care about them. That’s a great thing.”

“The plan with the movie is that it will combine live action with CGI.
I think it’s going to be something the audience has never seen before. In
all the years of movie-making, I don’t think the image of a truck transforming
into a 20-foot tall robot has ever been captured on screen. I also want to
make a film that’s a homage to 1980s movies and gets back to the sense of
wonder that Hollywood has lost over the years. It will have those Spielberg-ian
moments where you have the push-in on the wide-eyed kid and you feel like
you’re 10 years old even if you’re 35. That’s the energy I want to go for.”

“Just like with X-Men I want to get to the core of what makes Transformers
great. We’re going to get back to the heart of what Transformers is and distill
that into a movie.”
