I do think it's the 3-former though, it's something new for the franchise (which is needed) and in a way goes along with the 3rd film moniker. Marketing loves that shit.
I'd suspect the autobots would get a 3-former in their ranks to.
this was in yahoo news from the hollywood reporter
Transformers 2" director says film "was crap
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Director Michael Bay has labeled as "crap" his 2009 movie "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen," blaming its shortcomings on the Hollywood writers' strike.
In an interview with Britain's Empire magazine, Bay admits that they "made some mistakes" while filming the critically panned sequel.
"The real fault with (Transformers 2) is that it ran into a mystical world," he explains. "When I look back at it, that was crap. The writers' strike was coming hard and fast. It was just terrible to do a movie where you've got to have a story in three weeks."
He adds, "I was prepping a movie for months where I only had 14 pages of some idea of what the movie was. It's a BS way to make a movie, do you know what I'm saying?"
This isn't the first time Bay has blamed the writers' strike for the blockbuster's faults. In July 2010, he told USA Today, "I'll take some of the criticism. It was very hard to put (the sequel) together that quickly after the writers' strike."
Actor Shia LaBeouf had similar complaints earlier that year at the Cannes Film Festival. "When I saw the second movie, I wasn't impressed with what we did," he said. "There were some really wild stunts in it, but the heart was gone."
However, both Bay and LaBeouf promised that the franchise's third installment, "Transformers: Dark of the Moon," due in July, would rejuvenate the series.
"Transformers 2" grossed about $836 million worldwide, having cost about $200 million to produce.
Hopfully he is accurate in his statement that the 3rd movie will rejuvinate the series.
Exactly. Hes got no one to blame but his 'visionary' dogmatism, stubbornness and complacency..
He got caught redhanded laughing at the fans of G1 AND his own 1st movie, and was spanked appropriately hard for it.
And ego like that will never admit to that truth publically.
Spielberg said that?
I swear these directors and producers etc. are going nuts in their old age.
They are even rebooting tomb raider....Really? that needs a reboot? just continue on with a different story.
I guess we will wait and see with TF3 if it will have the same type of charm as the first one.
Doesn't matter, since it'll probably happen cuz there's money to be made I suppose. I for one am really interested on what else is next for TF's. They'll most likely do a reboot, but more on topic. I'm kinda glad there won't be anymore Bay movies, so much as a hater at all, but I wanna see what other directors will do.
Also can't belive some people are thinking its gonna suck just because its a movie tie in.......shit its being handled by High Moon Studio's who had success with War For Cybertron.
