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.

    • ExplorerPatcher 26100.8457.70.3 by Razvan Serea ExplorerPatcher is a versatile and free tool that allows you to tweak and enhance the Windows Explorer. It comes with a range of useful features, including the ability to add new context menu items, change file name colors, and enable hidden features. Feature summary Choose between Windows 11 or Windows 10 taskbar (with labels support, small icons and lots of customization). Disable Windows 11 context menu and command bar in File Explorer and more. Open Start to All apps by default, choose number of frequent apps to show, display on active monitor and more. Choose between the Windows 11, Windows 10 and Windows NT Alt-Tab window switcher with customization. Lots of quality of life improvements for the shell, like: Skin tray menus to match Windows style, make them behave like flyouts and center them relative to the icon. Choose action when left and/or right clicking the network icon. Revert to the Windows 7 search box in File Explorer, or disable Windows Search altogether. Disable immersive menus and use mitigations that help you run the real classic theme without glitches. Discover the program's full range of features by reading this wiki article. ExplorerPatcher 26100.8457.70.3 changelog: Tested on OS builds 22621.4317, 22631.7079, 26100.6899, 26100.8037, 26200.8246, 26200.8457, 26300.8493, and 28000.2113. TIP: Windows Defender no longer flags ExplorerPatcher. It is no longer needed to configure Defender exclusions. Enjoy! Important Update for Windows Insider Users If you're running Windows 11 Beta build 26220.8474 or Experimental build 26300.8493, updating ExplorerPatcher is highly recommended. Microsoft has removed parts of the old Windows 10 Start menu from these builds, which caused ExplorerPatcher's Windows 10-style taskbar and Start menu to crash. This update fixes those issues and ensures Explorer starts correctly after future Windows updates. Because the required components are no longer included in Windows, the Windows 10 Start menu option has been disabled on these builds and future builds that lack the necessary files. A temporary workaround is to replace StartTileData.dll with a version from build 26xxx.8457, but this solution may stop working in future releases. The good news: development on the Windows 10 Start menu isn't over yet. More updates are planned. Highlights Fixed crashes affecting the Windows 10 battery flyout on Windows builds 25951 and newer. As part of that fix, network flyout buttons now behave like they did before Windows 11 version 24H2. Changes to the Primary taskbar location on screen setting now apply instantly without requiring a restart. ExplorerPatcher no longer modifies Windows 11 taskbar auto-hide settings when Explorer starts. The Open Start in All apps by default option is now hidden when the new Windows 11 Start menu is enabled. Fixed Windows 10 Start menu crashes on very early Windows 11 builds (21996–22000.51). Fixed a crash in Registry Editor when switching to thumbnail view during registry import/export operations. Improved compatibility with recent Windows builds, especially ARM64 and upcoming 26H1 releases. Improved overall ARM64 performance. Added Greek language translations. Thanks to @KonVetsos! ep_taskbar Improvements ep_taskbar now supports all 43 Windows 11 display languages. Fixed several issues in the system tray and other taskbar components. For mod developers: DLL naming has been simplified and made easier to understand. For mod developers: internal TrayUI changes provide better stability across Windows builds that use different taskbar implementations. Windows 10 Start Menu Improvements To help preserve compatibility, ExplorerPatcher now includes a newly recreated version of the tile layout engine that Microsoft removed in build 26xxx.8474. Current limitations: Tiles may occasionally overlap when pinned in certain ways. Restarting StartMenuExperienceHost.exe or Explorer usually corrects the layout. Further improvements are planned. Additional Fixes Added a blacklist that prevents ExplorerPatcher's shell extension from loading inside specific applications where it may cause problems. Updated Windows 10 Start menu animation support for newer ARM64 Insider builds. Fixed a rare taskbar initialization deadlock that could occur during startup. Start10 Updates Addressed a new compatibility issue caused by Microsoft's ongoing removal of tablet mode code in Windows 11 25H2 Experimental builds. Pinned tiles are no longer reset after repeated crashes. Various wording and interface text improvements throughout the application. Translation and UI Several interface strings have been cleaned up and clarified. Thanks to @sefinek for wording improvements. Please consult the README for more details.
