    The Transforming Aircraft-Carrier That Never Was

    http://uk.cinok.com/the-transforming-aircraft-carrier-that-n...

    Remember when Michael Bay revealed that his Awesome idea to have a transforming aircraft-carrier in Transformers was cut due to budgetary concerns? Well, apparently the idea was more than just an idea, because Transformers artist Tim Flattery recently released a batch of his concept art from the original film, and one of the pieces shows a aircraft carrier which transforms into a massive Decepticon (or is that Autobot Broadside?). How cool is that? Bay teased last year, that the idea might end up “maybe [in] another movie, that’ll get the fans talking!” But earlier this year producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura denied rumors that the idea would find a home in the sequel, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. via: TFW2005 Related Stories: Geek Poser Almost Arrested at Airport for Transformers Shirt Transformers 2 in 3D?

    Kooky New Spoilers For Transformers 2 Hit Net?

    http://uk.cinok.com/kooky-new-spoilers-for-transformers-2-hi...

    Here’s the non-spoiler part of this post: Shia LaBeouf will ride a motorcycle in Transformers 2. Wow. And it might, just might!, be a robot in disguise. After the jump, we’ll dive into the latest sp-sp-spoiler rumors for Transformers 2 courtesy of the Movie Blog. These spoilers center on odd things happening to LaBeouf’s character in the film, rather than the oddity that is Beetlejuice. Against better judgment, we’ll rank the following spoilers a 7/10 on the Slashfilm Privy Meter. If you’re already shellshocked by the amount of T2 info rolling in—aww—realize that you’re not alone. Feel free to express your exhaustion in the comments. From here on, venture down buzzkill beach at your own discretion…oh, and we’ve also included a pic of LaBeouf/Fox doing something on said motorcycle. Discuss: What do you think of the spoilers? Sound legit to you? Sounds pretty Michael Bayian to me. According to a tipster at MB, Shia’s character, Sam, possibly falls under the influence of a splinter he retained from the AllSpark that was destroyed in the original flick. The side-effects apparently hit him while he’s in a college astronomy class taught by Raiin Wilson’s professor. “On the first day of class, Sam goes crazy just before getting to class for some reason. It seems there is some object that he was exposed to that affected him, our guess is the splinter from the cube. …[In class] Sam read [an entire text book] in five seconds by just flipping through it, then starts telling Wilson’s character about what parts of his book are wrong. He also starts talking about how Einstein was wrong. Sam gets up from his seat and goes up to the chalk board and starts writing a lot of weird symbols on the chalk board (probably Cryptonian).” It’s said that the next time Sam goes to class, he’s still a little weird. He tells Megan Fox’s character, who’s apparently in possession of the splinter (or whatever it is), not to touch it for fear that it will do the same thing to her. If true, kind of kooky, kind of cool, eh? Somebody should make a YouTube montage of characters in movies who read entire books in just seconds. Movie Chronicles got ahold of the following image below showing Shia and Fox sharing a “little spark” of their own. Heh heh zzz. Note the red motorcycle and Fox’s lusty arch.

    More Transformers 2 Plot Details Emerge

    http://uk.cinok.com/more-transformers-2-plot-details-emerge-...

    Michael Bay revealed a couple new details in an interview with the New Jersey Times. The story picks up with Mikaela Banes (Megan Fox) visiting Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) at a fictional East Coast school with an Ivy League feel. Apparently Banes didn’t have enough money to go to college and was left behind in Los Angeles. And while the first movie was about a boy and his first car, Bay says that the new movie “is all about Sam growing up and going to college … a teenager growing into a man.” Rainn Wilson was spotted on set the same day that they were shooting a scene where Sam is late to his Astronomy 101 class, which might mean that Wilson is Witwicky’s Astronomy professor. Photo to the right thanks to TLive. Josh Duhamel who played Captain Lennox in the original film tells Empire Magazine that the biggest change in the sequel is “who [Lennox is] working with “, emphasizing the “Who he’s working with.” This seems to confirm speculation that the Autobots might have to form an alliance with the Decepticons to fight something bigger. Could those rumors about Fallen actually be true? And for those wondering, the cool “Revenge is Coming… 2009” set-up pictured at the top of this post (thanks to KD), was on display at The My Little Pony Fair 2008 (who knew?), which took place at Hasbro, Inc.’s Providence, Rhode Island headquarters last week.

    "Are Michael Bay and 3D the new PB&J? A promotional PDF released by Dolby for this year’s ShoWest lists Transformers 2 under 2009’s 3D features alongside well known 3D flicks like AVATAR and Tintin. Bay hasn’t updated his blog to confirm or deny the announcement. Given the fact that the man eats Epic brand cereal morning, noon and night, and has the sizable task of topping his prior $319 million grossing robot deathmatch, who else thinks it’s a no-brainer?"

    tranformers 2 3D rumors

    http://tallandshortofit.blogspot.com/2008/05/tranformers-2-3...

    short writes: /film posted a story about current speculation surround the next transformers film and the possibility of it being shot in 3D. word has it that film will be shot in 3D and michael bay has neither confirmed nor denied the rumors, so it could happen. not sure how i feel about hollywood's latest obsession with 3D (james cameron's "avatar" and spielberg's "tintin" are supposed to be filmed in 3D). i was not very impressed with the 3D in beowulf and i am hoping that won't ruin transformers 2, if in fact it does end up being used. the movie is supposed to start shooting in June 2 in philly and be ready for the summer of 2009. GO CANES!!!

    Are Michael Bay and 3D the new PB&J? A promotional PDF released by Dolby for this year’s ShoWest lists Transformers 2 under 2009’s 3D features alongside well known 3D flicks like AVATAR and Tintin. Bay hasn’t updated his blog to confirm or deny the announcement. Given the fact that the man eats Epic brand cereal morning, noon and night, and has the sizable task of topping his prior $319 million grossing robot deathmatch, who else thinks it’s a no-brainer? The sequel starts principle photography on June 2nd in Pennsylvania, but obviously the looming SAG strike, which Bay recently ripped, could temporarily forfeit the mass destruction. Not sure if the ladies were ready for Jonah Hill in 3D, so maybe that bit of ixnayed casting was divine intervention. More on T2 going 3D if and when it surfaces… Discuss: Alright, who has something negative to say about this development? Surprise us. via Comics2Film source: /Film
