With filming currently underway on TRANSFORMERS 3, Michael Bay chewed the fat with a reporter from USA Today. After the normal pleasantries and butt-kissing, Bay mentioned that the villain of his new movie is going to be Shockwave; who looked like this in the original cartoon:
Action Pose!
But will probably look like this in the new movie:
Transform and contract tetanus!
Bay continued on, mentioning that he’s going to be toning down the lame humor that has been his trademark for years. He’s also going to be tying the space-race between the U.S. and U.S.S.R. into his film about transforming robots in a seamless fashion (I’m sure). I doubt this movie will be able to depict the tension and multi-facetted political climate that existed during the Cold War like ROCKY IV, but it’s cool that they’re trying.
Poetic.
Less dumb stuff can only help TRANSFORMERS 3, but I don’t think it’ll be enough to save it considering Michael Bay can’t transform into a tripod. I still haven’t gotten around to seeing TRANSFORMERS 2, maybe it’s time I put it on the top of my must-watch list…or I could watch a crumpled Pepsi can roll down a hill…whichever is cheaper.
