Quint of Aintitcool.com has visited the set of the Transformers Movie and posted a lengthy report on what he saw and managed to have interviews with Michael Bay and Shia LaBeouf. A small teaser
” The location was Broadway where they had whole blocks to shoot. Primarily, they used Broadway between 8th and 9th St. As I was going to the location, I walked past a security guard who didn’t seem to care one way or another who walked in (I actually later saw an obviously homeless man, with a broken shoe on one foot and a TRANSFORMERS call sheet sticking out of the front pocket of his ratty shirt, walk back and forth past this oblivious security guard). The very first thing I noticed was a stack of boxes with Hasbro printed on the sides.”

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”
