Michael Bay’s People Respond to Recent Events

Written by Big Bot on July 15, 2006 | News,Transformers movie (2007) | Tags: —

nelson, the admin of Michael Bay’s Official Forums has posted some news in response to recent events about the Transformers movie

Spoke to Bay this morning…

…as I said, he will post later on later regarding the designs (when I say later it could mean tonight or in a couple of days).

Among some of the stuff

-They (Bay & Co.) are commited to maintaining total secrecy about this project until it hits the screen. We spoke of how there was no surprise factor to Peter Jackson’s King Kong. You knew the whole movie ahead of time. There are some in the team who believe the audience’s first peak of the robots in their normal mode should be when they sit down to watch the movie in the theater (in other words, no sneak peak of them in their normal mode in the trailers).

-Bay & crew are well aware of sites putting out BS info in orded to elicit a response from Bay & Co.

-The reasons why they went with a huge long nose truck for OP (BTW, regarding the flames, there is a context for them like Orci pointed out). Bay said they did test with flat noses (FN) for scale purposes, and the FN would only be about 20 to 25 feet tall, so they went with the biggest truck they could find the Peterbilt. We’re talking 40 to 50 foot tall robots here. The physics for these robots have to be real…aka no magically disappearing parts. Also, OP is going to have much more red than what was shown in the supposedly “leaked” photo.

-Regarding the designers… all I can say is he said they all had to be fans of the show in order to get their jobs.

-Regarding the Ludacris rumor…no, he does not have a part in TF.

The post can be read here.
