Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon: July 1st 2011

[PopeSmokesDope]

Fuckign hell... it's increadibly telling that the very first day involves talking to toy manufacturers....

[Alex W.]

It's a movie based on a series of toys. Who the hell else were they going to go discuss content with?

[Space Renegade Ulala]

Bet you go the cinema see it though.

I haven't paid a penny to see either of them. And I'm not going to start now, sir!

[George Clooney]

As long as your leg brace holds up and your care assistant is willing.

I see what you did there, even if it was a poorly constructed insult that doesnt really make much sense and is coming from someone posting on a computer game forum advertising in their sig for people to get in touch with them about an old gamecube game. But still, you gave it a shot.

[NecroMorrius]

I could watch Megan Fox turn around on a a revolving plinth for two and half hours and probably be mildly amused.

Michael Bay Talks Transformers 3

Source:Los Angeles Times

January 15, 2010

The Los Angeles Times reports that Transformers 3 director Michael Bay briefly spoke about the third installment at a discussion on sound in film:

So can we expect more thunderous sound in the third installment? Although the number of robots increased significantly from the first film for the second, the third film -- which will hit theaters in summer 2011, won't be as robot-heavy and there will be fewer explosions, a tight-lipped Bay said after the Q+A.

"There will be a nice crescendo ending," Bay said. "It gets much more into the robot character. The last time you kind of met a few of the robots; this time you're gonna get a much cooler landscape."

The last time you kind of met a few of the robots; this time you're gonna get a much cooler landscape."

He said the same thing last time and look what happened.

[Space Renegade Ulala]

"the third film...won't be as robot-heavy"

Oh good. If there's one thing you don't want too much of in a film about giant alien robots, it's giant alien robots. Lets up the Shia 'NonononononononononononononononNO' LeDieinafireyoucunt ratio some more, Mike.

[Alex W.]

How is it Shia Labeouf's fault that Indy 4 turned out the way it did, or the TF films for that matter? You may not like the characters, but he's not the guy who came up with them.

[stoo]

(don't expect Dinobots, though)...

Just as well, Dinobots might have tempted me to see it.

[Alex W.]

You don't blame the sandwich, though, do you?

[Alex W.]

The character is, sure, but not the actor.

[Valiant]

You couldn't make this up!

James Avery (Uncle Phil) from Fresh Prince has been cast as the voice of Silverbolt.

[Gambit]

1) Who the fuck is Silverbolt?

2) I hope he does his Shredder voice.

[Valiant]

He actually has a bit of a history of voice over work in stuff. I never knew this.

Not as shocking now.

[futureshock]

Because I want feel the hate.

Knock yourself out.

[TheGaffer]

Silverbolt was leader of the Aerialbots. Looks like we might be getting some more combiner action as the aerialbots formed Superion!

[Alex W.]

I imagine that Hasbro had a lot to do with that. They used Devastator from the last film as a launching point for a new type of combining Transformers so I figure they'll be keen to have them appear in the next film.

[Mogget]

What we don't need in the third film....

1. Pot smoking mothers.

2. Pretender transformers.

3. Those dickhead twins.

What we do need in the third film....

1. A script that makes sense.

[lordcookie]

Show me something he does where he can act.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0473488/

[Valiant]

The third one will probably dispense with a script altogether!

It'll just be three hours of giant robots smashing each other up all interspersed together by the Autobot and Decepticon insignias zooming towards you in 3D.

Wait a minute that sounds better than the first two films combined.

I am not even going to bother to download this film.

Transformers "3Death of the Franchise! here's hoping!

[Alex W.]

Show me something he does where he can act. Seriously. He can deliver lines, flex teenage muscles but he's not talented. At all. Evidence, Alex, evidence. You're a nice chap and I'm not being pedantic. He's got nothing to offer.

I'm not saying he's this generation's Tom Hanks, but he's perfectly watchable. He was pretty good in Eagle Eye, for instance. He's clearly not the source of the offensive badness that oozes from ever pore of TF2.

[Valiant]

I was joking as well, just found today that Variety are reporting Paramount want Bay to do it in 3D regardless of time or cost.

[Steve McQueef]

Apparently the robot in TF2 with the testicles, was based on Lady Gaga...

Hey, it's been a long time since I've posted. Just been a little busy.

Transformers 3 has been going very well. We are going to shoot in LA, Chicago, Washington DC, Florida, Texas, Africa, Moscow, and China. On the talent front, we just locked in Frances McDormand and John Malkovich. Both amazing actors I've always wanted to work with. We also just got Ken Jeong, he is the super funny actor stuck in the trunk from “Hangover” and the Doctor from “Knocked Up.”

We start shooting pre-shoots in about one month.

I also was at a Ferrari charity event this week raising money for a hospital being built by Ferrari in Haiti. I announced that night the newest Autobot to join Transformers: the Ferrari 458 Italia.

I also want to thank everyone on this site that donated to the Make -A-Wish charity. We raised $20,000 which I will personally be matching. This is a great charity where they make wishes come true for kids who are very ill. We have had many Kids from Make-A-Wish visit us on our Transformers sets and this time we will be posting video of their visits on Transformers 3.

Michael Bay

[Gambit]

Oh, John Malkovich.

[Gambit]

And he also announced a new Autobot. He didn't say the name, but this is its vehicle form.

HOT ROD CONFIRMED!!!

[layten]

1) Who the fuck is Silverbolt?

Leader of the Aerialbots. An Autobot version of the Constructicons (Devastator), but aircraft based transformers rather than construction vehicles. They combine into Superion. http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Silverbolt_%28G1%29 http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Superion_%28G1%29

Edit: He transforms into Concorde!

I hope they do a better job with the Gestelts this time..

[Garibaldi]

I hope they do a better job with everything this time..

Fixed.

[Space Renegade Ulala]

The Ferrari will be Tracks and will no doubt die horribly so Bay can look back with satisfaction and pride at getting the dead black, female and gay robots hat trick over the course of the three films.
