What do you get when you add 20 set pieces and 150 minutes? Well, according to Shia LaBeouf, a Transformers Movie. He states that the movie has lots to explain and needs an extended time to get things across. but also that there are 20 main set pieces in the movie, so prepare for a wild ride.

“It’s going to be long. He’s going to give you a lot. You’ve got 20 set pieces. You like at Spider-Man and it had five big action sequences � five set pieces. We have 20, and you’ve got to get storyline in, you’ve got to get the narrative in � so a lot of explanation. You can�t just have robots fighting for no reason. You’ve got to explain it. The movies going to run, I think, about two and a half.”

“ILM said � and this is the company that does like Star Wars and Superman � they do all the big ones � Pirates Of The Caribbean � they said they’d never worked on anything like this. They’d never done graphics at this level � this is the most insane thing they’ve ever done. They said if they were to present their company to anybody, it would be that movie � that would be the movie to look at.”
