More Transformers Info From Michael Bay

Nelson, the admin for Michael Bay's official website, ShootForTheEdit.com, has posted some tidbits in regards to various things Transformers.

1- They will be releasing more teaser posters in the coming months.

2- Paramount made studies and concluded that the TF "ANNOUNCEMENT" was the 2nd highest rated "teaser" this summer.

3.- They just finished shooting a lot of Pentagon interiors on a soundstage in scenes that involved many Chiefs of staff in their huge war room.

4.- Shia just was recently suspended over the edge of a 20 story building in a very dynamic and intense scene.

5.- The average transformation time from normal mode to alt mode and vice versa is about 3 to 4 seconds.

6.- The leaked pictures are legit (although a somewhat early rendering).

7.- Filming of massive chase scenes will begin in the following weeks.

8.- The CGI transformations by ILM are looking wicked and nastier every single day.

9.- Part 1 will be about why the transformers came to earth.

10.- This movie will be a new start for the live action franchise that will not be based on any particular TF TV series and/or comic book.


As long as they keep the critical parts of what makes Transformers grand, its seems smart to create their own separate movie "universe" to play in, which so far they have been doing. Besides, if you look at the old TV series and comics, there really isn't a cohesive continuity to follow except the stuff involving Unicron or Beast Wars.

For those new to Transformers, Unicron was the planet eater from the old movie that came out in 1985 and Beast Wars was a CGI series that re-invented the Transformers where their alt modes was animals. Actually a very good series and highly recommend watching the last two seasons of the show.
