I had a ton of people send me this last night and this morning. Apparently it’s the teaser trailer description for The Transformer which is coming out in just a few weeks. Here’s the description:
Transformers
Trailer #1
Running time: 1:36The trailer begins with quick shots of a rocket preparing to launch. Your basic pre-flight stuff. You can hear flight control and the countdown. You then see the rocket blasting off.
IN 2003,
THE BEAGLE 2 MARS ROVER
WAS LAUNCHEDYou see the probe entering the red atmosphere of Mars.
WE WERE TOLD IT CRASHED
Many shots of the rover on the surface of Mars, all shown from a variety on cameras on-board the probe itself.
ITS FINAL TRANSMISSION WAS
CLASSIFIED TOP SECRETMore shots from the rover’s point of view.
Suddenly, you hear heavy footsteps coming toward the rover, and a shadow falls over the rover. A humanoid robot shape steps into the rover’s view, but it stands in front of the sun, silhouetting the robot.
After a beat, the robot smashes the rover with its fist.
IT WAS THE ONLY WARNING
WE WOULD EVER GET
Now we see the Earth almost exactly as it appears in the teaser poster (but without the eye). The orchestral theme begins to swell in an ominous way.
The TRANSFORMERS logo then appears as it looks in the teaser poster.
The logo itself then transforms very complicated-like into
7.4.7
Which then transforms into the Autobot symbol.
Overall, a very foreboding tone to the teaser. It fits in well with the tagline of “Their War. Our World.”
I can’t say for sure that this is real… but a lot of people out there seem to think it is. Your thoughts?
This is amazing….I can’t get enuff Transformers news. Where is today’s audio edition…I’m eagerly waiting for Dougs review of Superman.
