Holy Crap! It’s Moving!

Tuesday, July 6th, 2010

I saw this on another site and someone seemed to be pretty impressed by it so I’m posting here as well…yeah. Basically, it’s a big set from TRANSFORMERS 3 that is on a big crane like deal so it’s tilted slightly to the side…yeah. Enjoy.

That sure looks like something Michael Bay would demand. It’s big, probably cost the GDP of a small country, and will probably end up looking like a Jackson Pollock painting when it finally hits film. But hey, giant robots! Am I right?!

Also, someone sent Ain’t It Cool some pics from the Chicago set that show some really awful looking craters. Here’s one of them now!

Nice hole!

Nice hole!

Honestly, who’s in charge over there! I mean, do they look even remotely real to anyone who isn’t Mr. Magoo? How do craters made of asphalt appear in the middle of a grassy field? And don’t craters actually go into the Earth and not sit on top of it? Eh, I’m sure they’ll look great once layer-upon-layer of computer effects are placed over them.

Shocked.

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

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!

Action Pose!

But will probably look like this in the new movie:

Transform and contract tetanus!

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.

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.

Fightin’ Robots Round The World.

Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010

If you ever wondered how awesome it must be to be Michael Bay (I think we’re all guilty), he revealed on his website that he will be gallivanting to LA, Chicago, Washington DC, Florida, Texas, Africa, Moscow, and China on the studios dime to shoot TRANSFORMERS 3. He also mentioned that he has added Frances McDormand, John Malkovich, and Ken Jeong to the cast.

Seriously though, no one cares about the people in the movie, which is why Bay also pointed out that there will be a new Autobot that moonlights as a Ferrari. You may behold its Italian extravagance below:

Just add it to my pile.

Just add it to my pile.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that the Ferrari will probably sound like this every time it speaks:

Here comes the grease-ball!

Here comes the grease-ball!

I also wouldn’t put it past Michael Bay to try to put the giant robot in a wife-beater and gold chains. He’s just a classy guy like that.

Transform…For The Third Time.

Sunday, October 4th, 2009

Thanks to boat-loads of money, Michael Bay and Megan Fox have been lured back to “direct” and “star” in TRANSFORMERS 3. Michael Bay posted this on his official site that you can find here, he also throws some barbs at Fox for whatever reason. The movie is scheduled to roll into theaters on July 1, 2011.

I’m sure if you liked the first two TRANSFORMERS you can assume that you’ll like the third one. Bay isn’t really the kind of guy who is going to change his style now, not after it has allowed him to purchase a small nation.

How The Mighty Have…

Monday, June 1st, 2009

Action related news has been very slow the last few days. I assume it’s because the summer movie season is already starting to wind down; though there are still a few nuggets to get excited for or mourn the existence of…whichever you prefer.

The last big blockbuster of the summer will undoubtedly be TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN. For the longest time I assumed that the fallen in question who wanted revenge was going to be that black robot from the first one that was ripped in half, but it’s apparently a brand new robot. MTV has got a picture of it in mid frog-hop. Enjoy.

And now I leap over you!

And now I leap over you!

I’m pretty sure this movie will be awful in every conceivable way; except the robots hitting each other. That’s kind of Michael Bay’s M.O.
