More Hoover Dam Pictures

Written by Big Bot on June 14, 2006 | News,Transformers movie (2007) | Tags: , —

Scooper ‘Optimus Prime’ of SuperHeroHype has taken more photos of the set at Hoover Dam and has posted the following report

I was on the Transformers shoot also and was down inside the generator room for the shots there on the first day.I did see The transformer thingy down in the generator room. Huge! It did not transform though, special effects guys working on it said it would all be done by computer effects. It had to be 25 feet tall and was on a railcar. Had some airbags under it to simulate it struggling against the straps holding it on the railcar.

We shot some scenes with Voight and S.W.A.T. teams in a tunnel going into the side of the gorge at the bottom of the dam, very spooky place with smoke effects and strange machinery lining the walls.

The photos can be seen here.

Airman trains Hollywood actors for ‘Transformers’ movie

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

The Official website of the United States Air Force has written another article about the filming of the Transformers movie. Here is a sample from the article:

Master Sgt. Ray Bolinger, combat controller with the 22nd Special Tactics Squadron at McChord Air Force Base, Wash., trained Tyrese Gibson, one of the lead actors, on the mannerisms and language of a combat controller.

“I am his combat control technical adviser,” he said. “I taught him the authentic dialogue of calling in an air strike.”

As an Air Force combat controller, Sergeant Bolinger provides air and ground interface, is a certified air traffic controller and calls in air strike attacks when in war.

X box in transformers movie ?

Written by admin on June 11, 2006 | News,Transformers movie (2007) | Tags: , —

In a bit of interesting news The XBox 360 may be making its film debut of sort according to these reports.

The New Transformers movie that wll be out July 4th, 2007 brings the world of gamers into the picture. Robert Sanchez, the editor for the online entertainment publication, The Movie Reporter, who claims to have gotten a copy of the script cites a specific scene that may get gamers’ attention

“I almost forgot to mention one of the most stupid scenes in the script. For reasons that I won’t get into, we see an iPod, Xbox 360, and plasma screens sprout legs and transform just a bit.”

That an interesting idea including a Transforming Xbox. Definately good product placement. While this no final word on what will be in the release we will have to see what comes of it

I would take this as a rumor for now but intersting news still?

The Transformers Casting Info

Written by Big Bot on April 21, 2006 | News,Transformers movie (2007) | Tags: —

IGN FilmForce has an exclusive revealing of  the casting for many of the human roles in The Transformers. Jon Voight is thought to play Keller, Michael Clarke Duncan as Figueroa, Josh Duhamel as Lennox, Bernie Mac as Bobby Bolivia, Tyrese as Epps, John Turturro as Simmons, Rachael Taylor as Maggie, Megan Fox as Mikaela, Travis Van Winkle as Trent, and John Robinson as Miles.

All the names in italics, are not the real names of characters but but have been used to keep the film under-wraps. For example, Shia LaBeof is playing Spike Witwicky, not Sam!
Also for now, this should all be taken as a rumour as all the information came from many unnamed sources.

The Transformers movie update

Written by Big Bot on April 20, 2006 | News,Transformers movie (2007) | Tags: , —

Chad Sterling Frey has joined the Art Department of The Transformers movie, according to his website

I have joined the Art Department of DreamWorks latest project directed by Michael Bay and Production Designed by Jeff Mann. A live action adventure based on the Hasbro toys of our youth, “Transformers” is the story of the war between the good-guy Autobots and the evil Decepticons; each are a race of machines who change form from known Earth objects (a car for example) into a more humanoid battle robot form.  Heavy on visual effects and high on set and location count “Transformers” starts principle photography this summer.

Dark Horizons have revealed one of the locations for the movie:

Holloman Air Force Base in Alamogordo, New Mexico (right near ‘White Sands’) looks to be a major location for the upcoming film.

Don Murphy ‘Trashes’ Supposed ILM Test Footage

Written by admin on January 11, 2006 | News,Transformers movie (2007) | Tags: , , —
The TF live action movie producer has rather angrily replied to a few questions on his forum by TF fans, including whether or not the supposed test ILM footage of supposedly Sideswipe transforming is real, or at least from the movie.  Well, it isn’t, and Don Murphy has a quite a potty mouth.  Look away kids…
