Transformers Movie Competition
Fantastic Four 2 is due to premier on 4th July 2007, the same date as the Transformers movie. This has lead to rumours of one of the films being moved either a week forward or back. Also due around the same time is Shrek 3 (also from Dreamworks), Spiderman 3 (not as popular after the second film) and Halo from Peter Jackson. Halo is based on the X-Box computer game, and as with all computer games, it will lack any creditibiltiy as a film so expect Transformers to rule the box office and crtitical respect come the summer of 2007!

Bay Confirms Internet Script as being 4 months old
TF movie director Michael Bay has posted on his blog site that the scripts that have been doing the rounds on the ‘net are about 4 months old as well as giving fans a few other tidbits of information
‘The script reviews — I’ve seen, have been great but – I know they read a 112 page draft that was on record of four months old, but the dates they have given are wrong. We have done so much work since then.
I just hope people don’t spoil it for people hearing everything in the movie before they see the movie – that’s so lame.
I’ve anticipated leaks for months so I keep the only shooting script in my computer. Nobody has it, not even actors get a full script. Steven Spielberg taught me this trick.
He also confirms filiming is taking place at White Sands Missisle base and they have been shooting footage o CV-22’s (Ospreys) as well as stealth fighters, low attack missile runs, A10 Warthogs and more. He writes
I’m working on the military aspects of the film right now in New Mexico at Hollaman Air Force base and the Army’s White Sands missile base. The military has been stellar with us. This is the largest military cooperation since Pearl Harbor and Black Hawk Down.
Friday we shot two CV-22’s (Ospreys). They fly like aliens dropping out of the sky. We also shot stealth fighters and low attack missile runs (50 feet off the deck) A10 Warthogs. They look so deadly and mean.
We also shot in an army tank grave yard, that has more tanks in it then all of Iraq. The military cast Josh and Tyrese are surrounded with top notch Seal Team members.’

More Transformers Movie News
‘The Movie Reporter’ at IESB has a new flyby video interview (and text interview) with writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman on Transformers (and Zoro, yuck). They seem enthusiastic about it, say there’s no way round the Megatron/Gun issue, and unfortunately might be adding new characters to the film.
The ‘video’ link is a bit misleading, make sure you click on Roberto and Alex Windows Media or Roberto and Alex Quicktime links.
