Transformers Reviews, Interviews & More
The moment we’ve all been waiting for is finally upon us—Transformers 4 finally has a plot summary. Yes, we can finally know what Michael Bay will use to feature a bunch of robot vehicles fighting each other all over planet Earth, all while a series of interchangeable human actors stare in wonderment at a series of green screens. It’s a pretty exciting day.
Because his insufferability is to the point that not even a megabudget Transformers sequel can contain him, it’s been known for some time that Shia LaBeouf would not be returning for Michael Bay’s Transformers 4. Rumor has had it that this film would feature a female protagonist (because Michael Bay’s all about progressive gender politics) with a race car-driving...
Though it won’t see a release for another year and a half—June 27, 2014, to be exact—the news surrounding Transformers 4: Seriously, A Fourth One? has already been ramping up of late. First came the rumor that Mark Wahlberg would star. Then Michael Bay said he wouldn’t star. Then Bay said, ‘sure, internet, what the hell—let’s put Wahlberg in there.’ Now Bay has...
First, there was the internet rumor that Mark Wahlberg, fresh off of Michael Bay’s Pain and Gain, would also star in Bay’s upcoming Transformers 4. Then Bay came forward to deny the rumors, and stated that he and Wahlberg were in talks about another project. Then Bay came out again and stated that, hey, maybe the internet was on to something with that whole ‘Mark...
Two weeks ago, internet chatter spit forth the rumor that Mark Wahlberg was in negotiations to star in Michael Bay’s Transformers 4. And it sort of made sense—Wahlberg and Bay apparently shared a close working relationship during the filming of Bay’s upcoming Pain and Gain earlier this year, so why not work together again? Well, Bay put the kibosh...
While no one will ever accuse the Transformers franchise of being anything other than filmmaking at its most cynical—a series of films based on a 1980s toy franchise, directed by Michael Bay and slathered with incomprehensible CGI and featuring Shia Labeouf acting like a sweaty horse’s ass, all in an effort to sell toys and back tons of cash—you never actually expect to hear the...
Next week, Michael Bay will begin pre-production on Transformers 4, the final Transformers film that he will be directed before handing the franchise off to someone else. Bay recently spoke to the Los Angeles Times about the upcoming highly unnecessary film, discussing whether or not the film will be a reboot, how it will be at least partially set in space, with be...
Oh, the Transformers franchise—a series of films about walking trucks from space that punch each other amidst a sea of inflammatory racial stereotypes, scantily-clad gals who think they’re in a Carl’s Jr. ad, and Shia LaBeouf’s sweaty, manic overacting. Well, Transformers fans, you have one less thing to worry about concerning Transformers 4—Shia LaBeouf...
Well, fans of large-scale mishmashes of the colors teal and orange that cost hundreds of millions of dollars to make all in the hopes that children all over the world will force their parents to buy them tickets to see walking trucks from space punch each other while Shia Labeouf sweats a lot, your day just got better. The rest of humanity? Your day just became infinitely...
Are you ready for (some ads during) Football? If you love movies, but aren't so crazy about sports, the Super Bowl has become a time where some of the biggest films of the year drop $3.5 Million dollars for thirty seconds of your attention. Summer blockbusters looking to build buzz and get people excited about the year in film. So much so that there are now teasers for these ads. Trailers for...
The Transformers franchise is just as successful/popular as any other modern blockbuster with the latest entry (Transformers: Dark of the Moon) having done over a billion dollars worldwide (the highest gross of the franchise). But while talking to the press on the last film, Michael Bay suggested that this was his last go-around with the cars...
Yesterday, we reported that Hasbro and Michael Bay were gunning for a fourth Transformers film. And if that wasn’t enough bad news for one week, month, year, or decade, try this on for size: it looks like the fourth and fifth (sweet, sweet Jesus protect us) Transformers films are going to be made simultaneously. And since...
ScreenCrave readers, there simply are no words… Sigh. I’ll do my best. Stiff upper lip, folks, we’re gonna get through this one together: Hasbro and Michael Bay are developing Transformers 4. God help us all, they’re developing Transformers 4!
There's a total of one movie coming to DVD this week, but it's an absolute doozy: The third installment in the Transformers saga.
Yes, you can finally bring all the noise, clatter and LeBoufiness of Dark of the Moon home with you to give your flat screen a full-on workout. Or, if you prefer quieter fare, we have another selection of about a dozen TV on DVD seasons...
After the second film - which star Shia LaBeouf and director Michael Bay have publicly apologized for -there was hope that Transformers: Dark of the Moon would settle Michael Bay down, and give him a better story to tell. Working with 3-D, his hyper-editing style wouldn't work in the format, and there would be no "afterthought" Imax scenes. There would also be no...
Transformers: Dark of the Moon hits theaters June 28, but the film premiered in Moscow a couple days ago, with director Michael Bay and stars Shia LaBeouf, John Malkovich, Tyrese Gibson, Jush Duhamel, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in attendance. We will have our review online shortly, but until then, Paramount has sent us a video of Linkin Park playing at the...
UPDATE: We've heard from people who've seen the film and were told that the twins do not appear in the final cut.
Remember the robots in Transformers 2? The ones that most people thought were racist? The ones Michael Bay said wouldn't be in Transformers 3, aka Transformers: Dark of the Moon? Well...
For the July 1 release of Transformers: Dark (Side) of the Moon, it's been interesting to see the returning cast and crew go on an apology tour. Star Shia LaBeouf has said he knows the film sucked, and Michael Bay has made similar comments. Which is funny in that the second film made over $400 Million domestic, and does have a number of apologists. But for the third...
A new TV spot has been released for Michael Bay's upcoming sequel, Transformers Dark of the Moon. The video aired during NASCAR's Daytona 500 and it featured new footage not shown in the Super Bowl spot. We get up close and personal with Sam Witwicky and his new girlfriend as played by Rosie Huntington Whiteley. Take a look...
Transformers Dark of the Moon made its presence known at this year's Super Bowl with an epic TV spot. The footage reintroduced Shia LaBeouf as Sam Witwicky and his robot protector Bumblebee. We also got a shot of the new female lead Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Optimus Prime, who has some new battle gear. Check it out...
