ReZourceman Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Bay Leaves Transfomers Director has had enough of franchise.by Chris Tilly, IGN UK UK, June 18, 2009 - With Transformers mania currently gripping the globe, we have some shocking news for fans of the franchise - Michael Bay has had enough. According to a report on WENN.com (reported on IMDB), Bay feels that with forthcoming sequel Revenge of the Fallen, he has take the series as far as he can. "After the three-and-a-half years I've spent making these movies, I feel like I've had enough of the Transformers world," he explained. "I need to do something totally divergent, something without any explosions." - M. Phillips/WireImage.comA Michael Bay film without explosions? Say it ain't so! And in a sly dig at journalists, Bay added. "It's easy to go shoot an art movie in a winery in the South of France. But people have no idea how hard it is to create something like Transformers. They [the critics] review me before they've even seen the movie." Well IGN waited till we'd seen the film before passing judgement, and gave Revenge of the Fallen a solid three star review.

Retro_Link Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 Interesting, so I'm guessing this film will be far too cramed with story elements he's envisioned, because [as with everything these days!!] three films were planned weren't they? They'll be a third no doubt... might be good to see someone elses take on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Has anyone seen that episode of the Simpsons where Bart gets a fizzy drink and puts it in some automatic shaker thing (and I think later used it to bomb Skinner)...well thats what I imagine Bay puts his cameras in. Its just horrific filming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEVILMURRAY Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 (edited) hah! likely story, mate! Maybe he'll be focussing on the choppa? 50 seconds in makes me laugh. Edited June 18, 2009 by EEVILMURRAY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostmario Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 (edited) The first Transformers film was good, ROTF will be alot better, seems to be focusing on the Tranformers a lot more from the trailers i've seen. But nothing can touch the animated movie, specially this scene. Edited June 18, 2009 by lostmario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEVILMURRAY Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 But nothing can touch the animated movie, specially this scene. I tried watching that again recently, I was almost bored to tears I am saddened to say. I think it was the bullshit "family" stuff which ruined it for me.

I think it was the bullshit "family" stuff which ruined it for me. Were you a fan of the original series? I think the big deal with the movie was how they killed off most of the original Autobots and Decepticons, oh and introduced Unicron of course. I was a massive fan as a kid, had all the toys (still do, stored away adding value each year) so it was the best thing ever for me. Still watch the movie once a year or so, for nostalgia. Apparently if they do a third movie, they want to have Unicron in it. Probably go the way of Fantastic Four 2 with Galactus and show him as one big massive cloud.

Retro_Link Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 I know 'The Touch' means alot to all you Transformers fans, but I have to say I hate it! It seems SO out of place in the film whenever I hear it... as though they're trying to take everything to seriously. It just doesn't seem to fit to me, just the wrong type of music.

Chris the great Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 when i watched the whole "the touch scene" in cornwall with mates last summer, i was doubled up laughing. i mean, the music, with a truck running over everything in existance? awsome. my friend described the film as a "steaming pile of wank" it is, but in the best way ever.

ReZourceman Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 I am in physical pain, on account of the fact that I havn't heard of this movie. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1092026/ Paul Plot Paul is about a pair of geeky British friends who travel to a comic-book convention on the West Coast; unlike their other films, this one has Mr. Frost as the dominant one and Mr. Pegg as the sidekick. Cast Seth Rogen Simon Pegg Jason Bateman Bill Hader Sigourney Weaver Jane Lynch Nick Frost Erm....need. Like....mega need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solo Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Yeah it's the third film of the their 'spoof' trilogy. No that's a film about the end of the world or something. This is something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro_Link Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 How have they done achieved those proportions for HBC's Queen of Hearts?... Have they built up around her head? Can't stand Alice in Wonderland anyways, used to find it a bit scary and creepy when I was younger, so have no desire to see this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReZourceman Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Same, I don't like Alice in Wonderland, and the thought of Depp and Burton on it makes me want to die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tellyn Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I watched the Disney film a few times as a kid, it was one of the few Disney films that I didn't like. I understand that it was adapted from Carroll's book (which I haven't read), but I just found it a bit... disturbing at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
