More From Brian Goldner
Brian Goldner, Hasbro COO, has posted another message to fans about the reaction received from the Transformers Movie designs tha have been leaked
“How do I say this–You guys say you want to see robots NOW, and then, when you see early work-in-progress, you flip out!!!
Let me try to frame where we are headed with TRANSFORMERS, and draw some analogies…you loved G1 the first time you saw it ( and every time since), and so did we…It told a NEW story of sentient beings that have human-like characters, and yet, there is so much more to them than what’s on the surface…they transform from recognizable objects to unimaginable robots. They have their own history, and rivalries that we witness, and get swept up in… We all owe it to the next generations of folks to use the technology, storytelling, and access (to real contemporary vehicles/military) that TRANSFORMERS provides to drive this forward…your input in very important as it helps to shape the delivery of TRANFORMERS as a LIVE-ACTION movie. We will show you robots, when they are right….they will be PHOTO-REALISTIC. In fact, this movie could have never been produced much before today….this is worth the effort.
We need to tell an origin story because not everyone is as versed as you in the history….we need to explain elements of the TRANSFORMERS that can be glossed over in animation…there are logic gaps that do need to make sense when a broad global audience buys a ticket and wants to enjoy the show as much as you will…we continue to make progress.
Starcream is a complex character. He is loyal, and yet ready to mutiny all at the same time. He is two-faced and duplicitious…his character will be played out in his design…as he evolves he is looking very cool….
Megatron too is a very important link from past (G1) to present…there are major story elements that will come to light as you watch the film that make his evolving design ring true…of course, he has always had big guns…just wait to see what we have done here….again, LIVE-ACTION….
The comments and jokes about leaving the boards are unjustified…there has never been a group of producers, writiers, and studio executives more engaged in this project, and for that reason not always attached to these boards.
thanks…bg”
