Re: Transformers 3 Announced

I'm sure the macguffin will be either another doomsday device (like that sun smasher from the second movie) or a source of limitless power (like the AllSpark in the first) that Shockwave desperately seeks and is conveniently located on Earth.

Re: Transformers 3 Announced

the macguffin this time will be finding the device that allows a skinny tool like Shia Lebeouf the ability to attract smoking hot chicks that are well out of his league.

Re: Transformers 3 Announced

I'm still holding out hope for this film, but from the pics it looks like it will be just more running away from robots. Oh well.

Re: Transformers 3 Announced

Say what you will about Megan Fox, but she's definitely hotter than this new chick, who just feels generically waif-ish.

Well the pics will show what's tangible. Given the robots are CGI, all the on set shots of them would be a lot of empty space and stuff blowing up to simulate impact.

You're preaching to the converted, my friend. This new chick is huge downgrade.

Re: Transformers 3 Announced

I wonder how Sam explained to his friends how he got a new Camaro. One day he has a beat up old one then the next day he has a 2008 model. He sure couldn't tell them it was Bumblebee.

I wonder how he's going to explain losing a hot piece of ass girlfriend and downgrading to the troll that's in this movie.

Never go backwards man. Always trade up.

Re: Transformers 3 Announced

Maybe that hot piece of ass realized she could do better without the threat of getting squished by a robot? Or they kill her off between movies?

As much as I sneer at Megan Fox's acting, no denying she was much hotter in Transformers

Or maybe she was a Fembot all along, like Liz Hurley's character at the beginning of the second Austin Powers movie ...

I believe that's what Yavin was hinting at, via an Austin Powers reference.

But blame the comics/toys for the Pretender in the second movie. That's where they come from. Personally, I had no problem with there being a Pretender.

My issue is that for someone presumably sent to capture Sam, she didn't seem to have issue with outright killing him. I can understand killing him after the Doctor decided they only needed his brain but not before that order was issued.

Michael Bay Shooting Transformers 3 with 3D Cameras




<object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/DIs9hm3AsnU&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xd0d0d0&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/DIs9hm3AsnU&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xd0d0d0&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>

I'm surprised and a little disappointed (as I prefer 35mm film over 2K digital any day of the week) but, if he was to have 3D in this movie, I'm glad they're doing it right.

That said, I would have prefered more IMAX footage or a 70mm shoot.

God Damn it Michael Bay. Damn you for giving in. Pussy.

I too would much prefer 35mm, but I would like him to not shit all over the IMAX format again. The guy clearly has no idea how to shoot large format film, so I'd just prefer if he stayed away from it.

Re: Transformers 3 Announced

I dunno. The forest battle was fantastic. It's a shame there weren't more scenes like that in the second movie.

He cut between the two negatives way to much. He would shoot part of a scene in 65mm and then the other part in 35mm, sometimes going back and forth several times in the same minute. It's annoying and extremely noticeable. It's just sloppy.

Wow, from being completely anti-3-D to operating the camera himself? Way to do a 180. Also, I read that in order for the shots to actually be perceived by our eyes, they need to be at least 3 or more seconds long. Wonder if Bay got the memo on that yet?

In the forest battle it only happened twice. It was much worse in The Dark Knight where it would be an IMAX shot soley for Batman cruising on the Batpod or Bruce cruising in the Lambo whereas everything else was 35mm.

The only back and forth during the Devestator sequence was shot of Megatron and Starscream talking and a couple of shots of the Constructicons driving up to the... I dunno what it was. A dig site? For the most part, Devastator was all IMAX. The only letdown was when he climbed the pyramid where he was soley 35mm and poorly rendered to boot.

Part of why I liked the IMAX sequences in the second movie is because they forced Bay to have longer shots and no machine gun edits. Hopefully the 3D shoot forces him to do the same.

Well the camera Bay is holding in that picture isn't a 3D camera, but he probably will be shooting most of it himself. And yeah, no doubt this will be the most headache inducing movie of all time. I pity any poor soul who see's this in IMAX 3D (or regular 3D).
