Transformers: Dark of the Moon (Transformers 3)


Recommended Posts

I really hope Shia and Megan aren't replaced by someone else. I don't care if you guys like them or not. The way I see it, if you're going to replace someone, at least do it gracefully. It's almost like replacing a singer of a band, but worse. You just don't do it (only a few have been able to get away with it). While I hope the dialog improves for the 3rd one, I didn't have issues with the characters some people seem to hate (Wheelie, the Twins, etc). I actually they thought they were funny.

I do think that the problem some people have with the movies is that they're expecting a lot more story (a thinker, if you will) than what the movie shows, but you have to realize that how much there is to the Transformers. The amount of Transformers in the 2nd movie should be proof of that. With that said, I hope that there is a better balance between action and story telling in the 3rd. If anything, I'm actually hoping for less action and more of the story behind the Transformers.

I think for fun they should change directors on the 3rd. I want to see what ether Jamesn Cameron or Rigely Scott can do (Transformers 3 black hawk down style).

James Cameron wouldn't be a bad idea, actually. He knows how to keep the pace going and things in balance. Definitely good at showing how a story should be told.

and in the way of True Lies, have a movie with good action and jokes that are actually FUNNY!.

I'd imagine James could do some creative action scenes. Bay just seems to be all about blowing stuff up, while I love it as much as the next guy, there needs to be some mixing up how action scenes are done to keep me interested. Granted, how much can you do when the Transformers are as big as they are?

A secret video hidden on the Blu-Ray disc of Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen shows Michael Bay discussing his early ideas for the third movie (although he says they're all lies.) You can't get any bigger in the third movie, so instead he'll go "sideways," and possibly go darker and more emotional. He's going even deeper into Transformers lore. And he says there'll be more of Bumblebee in the third movie, and more of the robot characters generally. "It doesn't have to be action, action, action," says Bay. (Really?) [Transformers Live]

It seems that Transformers 3 is set to start rolling in May. So soon! You?d imagine they?d have a finished script and would have made all of their necessary big decisions too, like whether or not to film in 3D? Yeah? maybe not.

The news of the May shoot came from a small aside in a Deadline Hollywood Daily post on Shia LaBeouf changing agents. A little bit of fact checking later and I learned that, yes, that date was right but,, the screenplay hasn?t been finished yet. I?m not sure how unusual this is with tentpole films any more, but it?s a talking point at least. What was that about ?All publicity??

I was curious if the ?Avatar effect? was going to lead to the film being shot in 3D, despite Michael Bay?s earlier protestations aimed at the format. Interestingly, it seems that Bay hasn?t won the argument. Not yet anyway. And with producer Steven Spielberg being so enamoured of Avatar, it seems like Bay might have to concede. That?ll make me happy for one.

I wish he would go in this direction.

I enjoyed TF2 too, yeah the story was cheesy and really didn't need to be there and again the final battle was a let down. It was just a fun movie.

Hopefully the third film will have Unicron in it. I don't really want to go into the lore of Transformers, that is what the cartoons/comics were for. Just give us massive battles and no story please. I don't want an autobot falling in love with a decepticon or bumblebee worried he might be a homosexual.

This film could start filming as soon as May, providing a non-stop stream of ridiculous rumors and set pics. But for now, there's just the fact that James Avery (Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air) did an interview with Unscripted. And a blurb for the interview says Avery said he was playing a new Autobot called Silverbolt in this film ? but there's no video of him saying it yet. So it's just a rumor for now. [TFormers]

They shouldn't set a date for the films release until AFTER THE FILM IS DONE. Other wise all you do is get a rushed production.

I guess they have their reasons. I think one reason is they all have to plan their releases for the best possible financial success. I wouldn't want Transformers to go up against Harry Potter or Star Trek.

An article about one of the companies transforming many upcoming releases into 3-D makes an alarming allusion to another potential 3-D release that's apparently in the talking stages.

Stereo Pictures Korea president Sung Young-seok told Daily Variety that his company is in talks for three additional pictures at Warner and is bidding on a number of 3D films for individual directors, including one for Michael Bay.

Bay's next project is "Transformers 3," and there have been discussions among Bay, Paramount and Industrial Light & Magic about going 3D with the pic. The big stumbling block is the extra time required to do production and visual effects in 3D, as the movie's release date is already set. Having the pic post-converted could alleviate that problem.

...says THIS article in Variety.

Interestingly, this newslet might signify something of a shift for Mister Bay - who has openly pondered whether his style of filmmaking would be 'too much' in 3-D (my paraphrase, not his exact words); he's even called 3-D a "gimmick" and a "fad".

Money, and AVATAR's Best Picture Oscar nomination, changes everything I guess.

Unlike many, I really don't hate Michael Bay movies (except for REVENGE OF THE FALLEN). This said, I don't think I wanna see his movies...given the way he makes 'em...in 3-D. I get nauseated just thinking about how dizzying and disorienting that could be.

Not that we didn?t expect him back for another go around, but Tyrese Gibson has confirmed that he will be reprising his role as Sgt. Epps in Michael Bay?s Transformers 3. In a post on Twitter, he confirmed by saying that ?Yes I will for sure be in Transformers 3.. Get Ready!! Epps is here to STAY!!?. Written by Ehren Kruger, Bay has described the screenplay as ?feeling very different from the other two?, promising that the story will be much more about character, and will feature a lot less robots than Revenge of The Fallen. The film is being prepped for a shoot later this year, with an announced July 1st 2011 release date. Last we heard, Paramount was pushing Bay to shoot the film in 3D. Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox are both expected to return for the threequel, reprising their roles as Sam Witwicky and Mikaela Banes.

    • This seems backwards. You should have to explicitly authorize files for outside use. It shouldn't be the default.
    • Wow you are right, I never even noticed this until you said it! (870E Aorus Master) Before testing this card I had a TP-Link tx401 10GbE PCIe card in that slot (now using XikeStor 310 Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter).
    • Lack of 5.1 makes this a no sale. What I really wish creative would make would be a USB version that supports 5.1 analog audio for speakers, can switch to headphone mode, and matches the specs of their top tier cards. The current X870E AMD motherboards dont have a great option for adding a PCIE x1 card without cutting down pcie lanes to the graphics card.
    • The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot by Usama Jawad I have been actively using Microsoft Word for the past couple of decades in academic, professional, and personal capacities. Although I used it through the perpetual version of Office apps at the start, I have been an active subscriber of Microsoft 365 Family subscription for over five years now. This means that my Word installation is regularly updated with new features, some of which I don't really like, but that's beside the point. As new features get continuously added, old ones that used to be a staple of Word have started to take a backseat. While I was reminiscing over my Windows experiences from my childhood today, I suddenly remember one such capability that I heavily used in my younger years but have not really touched in over a decade, and haven't seen in documents created by others either. That feature is WordArt. Just to clarify, WordArt is not a Microsoft product specific to Word, and is included in other Office apps like PowerPoint and Excel too. However, Microsoft Word is the app that I used Word Art in heavily, while making assignments or other deliverables for school. If you're unaware, WordArt offers a collection of styling techniques for text, introducing 3D effects like shadows and reflections in the text. It used to be one of the coolest things ever when I was at school and me and my classmates would often compete to ensure that our assignment's title in WordArt was truly the best and stood out above the rest. See some examples of WordArt, still present in the latest versions of Word below: Although WordArt is undeniably cool, it has taken a bit of a backseat, and has been relegated from the Home tab to the Insert toolbar, along with a bunch of other utilities, making it very easy to miss. This isn't exactly surprising because WordArt doesn't really have a place in academic and professional documents anymore, and while I have seen some creatives using it while developing promo material, even that sector has gravitated more towards dedicated graphic designing tools in the past years. For the vast majority of us, WordArt doesn't really exist, and that's alright. At least, it's still an option that can allow us to reminisce our childhood or even make some quick text stylization, if we really need it. Perhaps its usage has waned over time or the novelty has worn off, but I haven't even seen children use it in their academic assignments anymore. In fact, many don't even know that it exists. Maybe that's the fate of every beloved feature. What once felt cutting edge eventually becomes a relic, quietly tucked away as tastes, trends, and technology move on. WordArt may no longer dominate school assignments or decorate the covers of classroom projects, but for those of us who grew up with it, it remains a colorful reminder of a time when making text glow, bend, and cast giant shadows felt like the height of creativity. Hidden behind a few clicks in modern Word, it still survives not as a productivity tool, but as a small piece of computing nostalgia that refuses to disappear.
