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

[KriessG]

I'd say she is on par looks-wise easily. Less slutty.

[moosegrinder]

With all due respect, that "replacement" isn't in the same league as Megan Fox.

Megan fox looks like the Tango man or some shit. And she has shitty tattoos. And a gormless expression. I dunno, there's something about her that irritates the living fuck out of me.

Megan fox looks like the Tango man or some shit.

To be fair that's because Michael Bay decided that orange-and-blue was a great colour scheme for a whole film after seeing a lot of movie posters.

[mushashi]

The actors and even the transforming robots are secondary to the primary purpose of the Transformers: Live Action franchise, which is to be a glorified car advert, which really does explain a lot.

Far better pic imo:

Do I detect camel toe?

[Major Britten]

Do I detect camel toe?

You do but shes still not doing much for me, she has no figure or breasts and still looks 15

[Mogget]

Exactly. Megan Fox has curves.

Some info on the film:

- Final confirmation that movie will be released in 3D. No word on if it will be shot in 3D or converted in post. Knowing Bay’s obsession with film, I’m assuming he agreed on a post process.

-The villain in Transformers 3 is “Shockwave, the robot cyclops-turned-laser-cannon, who became dictator of their home world of Cybertron after the other Autobots and Decepticons journeyed to Earth.” Makes sense.

-Bay claims “One thing we’re getting rid of is what I call the dorky comedy” adding the The Twins are “basically gone” but comic relief John Turturro returns. Bay’s “basically gone” comment seems to confirm that they have a short appearance in the film.

-In the new film Sam Witwicky is “taking his first tenuous steps into adulthood while remaining a reluctant human ally of Optimus Prime. “Shia has this great line: ‘You know, I’ve saved the world twice, but I can’t get a job.’” Okay, so Transformers is never gonna get a screenplay nomination at the Academy Awards.

-The plot also “delves into the space race between the U.S.S.R. and the USA, suggesting there was a hidden Transformers role in it all that remains one of the planet’s most dangerous secrets. “The movie is more of a mystery,” Bay says. “It ties in what we know as history growing up as kids with what really happened.”

-Transformers 3 is the end of a trilogy. Bay says “As a trilogy, it really ends. It could be rebooted again, but I think it has a really killer ending.” It basically sounds like Bay is done with the series, and the ending of the movie is a finale of sorts.

-The film also features a set “built to resemble a dilapidated nuclear reactor.”

They've ruined every other character so it will be sad to see them fuck up Shockwave too. At least this looks like Bay's final TF film so hopefully they can leave the franchise for five years and reboot it with people that know what they are doing.

Shockwave's my favourite one! Surely they can't fuck up the glowing yellow one-eyed head

But yeah it's going to be a mess. Not that it's possible to be any more of a mess than the last one...

Michael Bay loves a challenge...

[MDY]

Michael Bay, I salute you

Never would of thought that Bay of all directors would be the one to take a stand on this faux-3D bandwagon

Transformers 3 in 2D only, studios told to GTFO:

Wow, props to the guy.

o/ Mr. Bay.

Shame he probably has no qualms about putting out a shit script

[Headache]

Yes. Can I retract my previous statement?

[moosegrinder]

indeed.

[MDY]

Yes. Can I retract my previous statement?

Sure, it was a 'Bay' - rather than a 'comments'

[mushashi]

Until I see some quote from Bay himself, I'll assume this u-turn on 3-D is down to studio pressure to printmoney.gif, and Bay was boasting of having the final say on the matter too should change his name to Cameron/Lucas if he wants final approval.

[Valiant]

Will they even put up the smokescreen of having a plot in this one?

[futureshock]

Looking forward to number three almost as much as watching people take the adaptation of a cheesy 80's cartoon too seriously.

[lordcookie]

First set photos and video of the new girl

[Meh]

She's a living coat-hanger.

[redbloodcell]

Oh yeah, re: the 3-D there was a post on /film a week or so ago reporting that they were shooting it in 3D rather than a post process:

You might have to refresh the page to get it to work.

[Swainy]

Prime finally get's his trailer:

[noizu]

Same stripe pattern as the original toy, nice touch!

[Alex W.]

I'm trying to get excited about that, but I know it's going to be a complete piece of crap.

[futureshock]

[Captain Novaforce]

Yeah I know. The first one somehow entertaining despite itself, the second one, dreadful. There's going to have to be an exceptionally good trailer to get me into the cinema for this one.

[moosegrinder]

Oh, the Trailer will be amazing. It'll still be fucking arse.

[Mogget]

Bay claims “One thing we’re getting rid of is what I call the dorky comedy”

That alone will elevate TF3 far above RotF, although I am going to miss Megan Fox. Say what you like about her acting ability, but she's still gorgeous.

[bingowings]

someone posted these up on Space Ghetto, as they were filming outside their school. make of them what you will.

[11 Herbs 'n' Spices]

There's bunch more over at SlashFilm too.

Not keen on the suped up Nascars but seeing Prime with his trailer does give me a little tingle in my bottom.

[Gambit]

I hope one of them is Hot Rod.
