Correct me, if I’m wrong, but is there a potential strike of Screen Actors and Directors comming up in the summer? And I don’t see the WGA strike over by then…

Can’t wait to see how this film looks like!

I’m sure they will “resurrect” Megatron!

@ “Hands down the most fun movie of 2007″

grumble… i don’t know about that… grumble… grumble…

I have a question for the Transformicons cheerleading section. Where exactly are you hoping the franchise goes from here? What ideas from the first one do you hope are expanded and elaborated on?

@”So you never know, the sequel could totally pawn. *Shrugs*”

What could this new film possibly be except more of the same? What new exciting direction do you expect it too take off in?

I honestly never doubted that Bay & Co. WOULDN’T get TRANSFORMERS 2 ready for Summer 2009.

Asside from that recent “as-yet-unslotted” remark by Hollywood Reporter, everyone (both officially and privately) have talked about just…how…FAST Bay has pulled everything together to shoot this year.

And I say all this totally unbiased (i.e. absolutely fucking hated TRANSFORMERS!) So you never know, the sequel would totally pawn. *Shrugs*

takata, numbers do & can lie. best example being the pirates 3 n spidey 3 debacles. folks went in huge numbers cos many were expecting spidey 3 to be a step up from 2 which raised the bar (at the time) for comic based movies. much as i hate to say it, the same goes for the multitudes who enjoyed the 2nd pirates installment.

Jamie: i never said there was no humour in Transformers. just that Superbad delivered a lot more fun & BETTER laughs.

monty: i think what Bay should be saying to the striking writers is “forget the heart (a/k/a Spielberg sap) & go for asskicking magic”.

speaking of actual heart,the only one who made me give a shit about them in the entire movie was Bumblebee.

Morty,
did you forgot the chiuahua peing and bumblebee peing jokes?
OR the masturbation jokes?!wow those made roll out of the chair!
Indeed i thought was a funny movie BUT i guess not exactly on the same way john did.
Well since people liked a lot the first one(numbers dont lie)so bring on!
WHO knows maybe they improve on the next one!
I cant believe i just writed that!its tha Bayester and now completely unleashed!!

NO THERES WAS NO SENSE OF HUMOR

With a bigger budget(I’m guessing over 200 mil atleast), Transformers 2 will have more action(of the off center, shaky cam variety), more Transformers(newly made up ones using G1 names), so in that sense Transformers will be a umm “better” movie.

But as far as dialog, plot, and characterization, you can foget about any major improvements, especially now that they just added another writer to the mix in Ehren Kruger(of Blood and Chocolate, Ring two fame). Throw in a producer currently running G.I. Joe into the ground and a director whose main edict to the writers for the sequel was “remember the heart and the magic, remember the heart and the magic. It’s not about being bigger.”

Ha! where was this sense of humor in his Transformer movie?

agreed on the disagree,John. to each their own.
i’m in the same boat as Kristina: BETTER not bigger. one can do bigger until the friggin cows come home (Pirates3,Spidey3) but BETTER is the right option (Spider-Man 2). let’s all hope Bay doesn’t go the spiderpirates route.

Well i really thought this one wasn’t going to happen for 2009 but there it is. I’m afraid, for the concerned people above, Transformers 2 will certainly be ‘Bigger & Bayer’ than last time. But when you hand him giant robots and let him create his own sequences, it will be surely mean huge fun on screen.

One thing we can say for certain is that Optimus Prime will enter the film a lot sooner this time.
