I guess Michael Bay isn’t quite as deafened from all those explosions as I thought. He’s grudgingly admitted that the racist robot Twins from Revenge Of The Fallen weren’t very funny, so they’ve been axed from the threequel. He’s also referred to the Fallen character, the primary antagonist of Number 2, as “shit.” And while he concedes that the franchise could conceivably be rebooted, he’s made it clear that Transformers 3 will mark the end of his involvement. Thank god.
Also in USA Today’s set visit / interview piece are a few plot-related tidbits. The primary antagonist of Transformers 3 will be Shockwave, who, unlike the Fallen, actually exists in the G1 canon and is more readily recogniseable to fans of the 80s cartoon (he’s the cyclops guy who turns into a giant cannon). While Optimus Prime and Megatron are busy slugging it out over some puny meatbags, Shockwave’s running the show back on Cybetron, under an iron fist (forgive the pun); at least, that’s how they’re justifying the new villain. I guess Shockwave comes to Earth, then, or something? Or maybe Sam goes to Cybertron, that’d be cool.
Also in the piece, Shia LaBeouf speaks of co-star Megan Fox’s untimely departure from the series, and quite intelligently points out that Sam and Mikaela had become one character in the second film; a fresh character should hopefully bring a fresh perspective to the action, and potentially bring back some of the Spielbergian awe that was sprinkled through the first Transformers flick. I like this Shia fellow, he’s a sharp cookie. (Megan Fox has been replaced by a lingerie model named Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, who I’m sure can act the house down. Cough.)
The biggest news of the piece, though, is that the movie will definitely be in 3D. Bay’s known to stick to his guns (er, pun) when it comes to film tech, so odds on that Paramount will force a post-production 3D conversion, the likes of which ruined the otherwise pretty okay Clash Of The Titans. So now you’re going to be deaf and dizzy after watching Michael Bay’s next flick.
None of this can erase the sheer awfulness of Revenge Of The Fallen, but it gives me hope that Transformers 3 might be only partially shit, instead of completely.
This is what a Rosie Huntington-Whitely looks like. She transforms into a crushing sense of guilt and loneliness.
If they do reboot transformers or make a transformers 4 without Bay, i probably will not see it. The actual transformers world has little to no interest to me. The first one was a good flick and i think everyone fell for the second one as they expected the same.
I hate it when they just axe characters for no reason, they should atleast have her in there for 5 minutes to say her goodbyes, not just quietly brush her under the rug and hope no body notices.
As for that model who is replacing Megan Fox, i mean seriously there are way hotter chicks out there than this one? We all know they cant act so why not just get the hottest, dumbest, worst actress out there?
Well post-pro conversion equals me seeing this minus the 3D.
And hopefully this means Bad Boys 3 will be closer once this is done!
Would you find her attractive if she was South African, loved Pirates Of The Caribbean, Transformers and Tropic Thunder but hated Sex And The City and Jackass? Looks ain't everything.
She's replacing Megan Fox where her looks ARE everything. I stand on my point
