Michael Bay has posted a message on his blog about the praise he has received on yesterday’s trailer and also of the possiblity of the Transformers Movie coming out on 3rd July instead of the 4th in North America.
“Hey, i want to thank everyone for the kind words on the trailer. I’m so used to seeing robots I kind of got bored with the trailer. I forget you have not seen them. When they put the piece together I kept wanting to show our truly awesome shots – but we didn’t. I can without a doubt, say we have just teased you on this trailer. We have so many huge shots that will never be in our ads. I bet this will be one of the rare trailers that does not show you the true money shots of the movie.I would also like fans opinion on opening on July 3rd instead of the 4th. The studio kind of sort of is thinking about which might mean “no”. If you spread the word on the Net – everywhere – they might listen. The 3rd everyone is off from work, I say “what the fuck” play the movie – “give’em giant fucking robots early”!!!
Michael”

Good news UK people. Paramount Pictures UK are going to show the new Transformers movie trailer (The one that come out today on Yahoo!) in UK cinemas. The BBFC have recently rated the trailer PG and will most likely be shown with any number of films.
The trailer is expected to be exactly the same, except for the MPAA logo at the beginning being removed and the release date being changed
Cybertron Philippines have been given a slightly altered version of the new Transformers movie trailer released today with some new footage and some cut bits. There is also a slight voice over in the middle and a short scene after the credits.
