Interviewed: Animated Creative Team

Written by admin on July 4, 2007 | Animated,Cartoon,Interviews,News |

IGN TV have had a sit down with Sam Register, the Executive Producer of the new Transformers: Animated series, starting next year. The interview provides lots of background details on the design of the series and how it has been incorporated into the marketing of the Transformers brand.

IGN TV So what will be the basis for the episodes that don’t have Autobots fighting Decepticons?

Register We’re also doing one-offs. The great thing about the huge Transformers universe is that there are thousands of characters and great ideas. So we might bring in the Dinobots, but we won’t necessarily connect it to Megatron. So you can bring in other characters and ideas. We’re also coming up with some one-off villains who will come in for one episode and leave. We also have some humanoid villains, so you don’t have robots fighting robots in every single episode. The humanoid characters will always have something cool about them. One is named “Nanosec” and he’s much like The Flash, except he’s on rollerblades. So you get this great idea of vehicles chasing a guy on rollerblades who is super fast. So you get that cool idea that also serves as a break from “yet another robot.”

Don Murphy Interview

Interview with Transformers Writers Orci and Kurtzman

Written by admin on June 29, 2007 | Interviews,News,Transformers movie (2007) |

SuperHeroHype.com were able to get hold of Transformers movie writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman and have a good long chat about their work on the Transformers movie (and Star Trek).

SHH! There were a lot of producers on this movie, so did you have to work with a lot of different people in developing the script? What was the process like in getting the script ready to shoot?
Orci It can get tricky when too many cooks are in the kitchen early on, and I think Lorenzo di Bonaventura was really good at kind of circling the wagons around us and giving us the space to find out what our instincts were and then bringing it to the group and going from there.
Kurtzman Lorenzo’s also not precious about anything. He’s very willing to throw out ideas. He’ll be the first to tell you, “Look, you might like this, you might hate it, but here’s a thought, maybe we go this way” and it’s a great way to start engaging in a brainstorm, ’cause usually your best decisions come when everyone’s kind of fluid with ideas.

Interview with Producer Callum Godfrey

Written by admin on June 28, 2007 | Interviews,News,Transformers movie (2007),Video Games |

QJ.net have managed to get an exclusive interview with Transformers The Game producer Callum Godfrey, who works for publsher Activision. Some questions have been answered before but some challenge Mr Godfrey.

“The next gen graphics are really something. The robots are incredibly detailed, full of inner workings and moving parts. The environments are large, and have to cope with all of the games destruction and interactive elements. I think we have pushed parts of the hardware pretty hard and on the graphics side when you think how many moving parts go in to making up a Transformation sequence then you can see how we might be getting close to that potential you mention.”

Based on early reviews, the Playstation 3, especially, has not been pushed graphically.

Interview with Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura

Written by admin on June 27, 2007 | Interviews,News,Transformers movie (2007) |

SuperHeroHype have managed to get another interview with Transformers Movie producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura on many aspects of the film including some of the production problems and limits in bringing the Transformers to life.

“We had a finite ability, if you would, to execute only so much with the Transformers themselves because they are phenomenally expensive as characters. The other thing is that because those characters are so well-founded within the mythology is how do you get a human character to interact and be an important, and I’ll say equal storyline, because as a boy, you want to play with those big toys and you want to shoot things and blow up things and just have a ball with them.”
