Harry Potter Moves IMAX Date due to Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

It seems Transformers is even bigger than we thought.  The IMAX version of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince has now been delayed by 2 weeks from it’s original opening of 15th July. This is due to a deal between Paramount and IMAX, which gives Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen exclusive use of the IMAX cinemas for 4 weeks, starting from 24th June, in exchange for shooting scenes with the IMAX cameras, which is more expensive than traditional methods.

As you can imagine, many Potterfans are blaming Paramount for this, without considering the fact that it was Warner Brothers who pushed back the release date for Harry Potter 6 from November 2008 to Summer 2009, just to keep their balance sheet flowing. Now they are paying the price for trying to take on the robots in disguise!

You may also remember that Die Hard 4.0 moved from it’s original release date in 2007 to make way for Transformers. Expect Michael Bay to start boasting in 3..2..1..

Imax Version of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen to have Extended Cut

In Michael Bay’s latest forum post, he mentions that he has just about finished the film, with work continuing around the clock. He also mentions that the Imax version of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen will be longer than the regular cinema cut.

Now unlike the first film, which was released in similar fashion, these extra scenes will not consist of bring human talking/being annoying, but will feature robot action in the four specially film Imax scenes. Just what we wanted to hear!

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is out in the UK on 19th June, before everyone else!

BotCon 2009: Hasbro Panel

Hasbro’s panel at BotCon 2009 is in mid flow and a few of the main USA sites are live blogging/twittering/posting updates from the convention. Unfortunately, no photos or videos are allowed, so there’s only lots of text to read.

The panel consists of Greg Lombardo, Aaron Archer, Bill Rawley, Joe Kyde, and Erik Siebenaler, as well as some of Hasbro’s writers and marketing team. There’s a lot of information on Masterpiece, Animated, Universe and Revenge of the Fallen toys for the rest of 2009 and 2010. Hopefully there will be some more news on why Animated was cancelled, but we may have to wait until tomorrow.

If you can’t be bothered to read through everything, I will post the big news from the convention: Hasbro are planning on becoming more environmental with their packaging and removing the twist ties. Amazing!
