Source: Stax March 28, 2006

IGN Filmforce has confirmed a recent rumor that Shia LaBeouf (Constantine, "I, Robot") is in talks to play Sam in Paramount's big screen Transformers adaptation, directed by Michael Bay and executive produced by Steven Spielberg.

A casting sheet making the rounds includes a description of the Sam character, as well as the humans in the film:

Sam - teenage male, somewhat nerdy, but ultimately heroic.

Miguela Barns - teenage female, Sam's love interest.

Cpt William Lennicks - 30s male, leader of the military.

Maggie - female, really hot, really smart, works as a codebreaker for the government.

John Kellar - 50's/60's male, US Secretary of State.

Glen Whitman - 20's male, technogeek, comic relief.

Transformers is targeted for a July 4, 2007 release date.

Pure eye candy I bet. Bay and Spielberg = Huge effects budget with little substance. Thats said, it'll definatly be some damn good eye candy...I'll see it in theatres.

Source: IGN Filmforce April 20, 2006

IGN FilmForce reports that Jon Voight, Michael Clarke Duncan, Josh Duhamel, Bernie Mac, Tyrese, John Turturro, Rachael Taylor, Megan Fox, Travis Van Winkle and John Robinson are in talks to join Shia LaBeof in Paramount/DreamWorks' big screen Transformers adaptation.

Directed by Michael Bay, the film is scheduled for a July 4, 2007 release.

Visit the link above to learn more about their characters in the film!

My little brother might crap himself, he loves Transformers, he has a savings account just for the giant whole body tattoo he wants. I hope its good, or there will be a lot of pissed off fans!

I just can't see this movie being any good, but who knows, it could be a fun summer flick.

Well the story might suck, but this movie is going to be awsome b/c we get to see the Transformers in live action fighting.

I'd say you hit the nail on the head with the Bay and Spielberg pairing.

Here's a link for those interested,it's a U.K. car commercial(it's been out for a while).It's a good visual

At any rate I should think the movie C.G. will equal or exceed this.

This is seriously some gay shit.

Yet you take the time add your two-cents.

More Join the Transformers Cast
Source: The Hollywood Reporter May 12, 2006

Rachael Taylor and Amaury Nolasco have been cast in DreamWorks' Transformers and Tyrese Gibson is in talks to join them, says The Hollywood Reporter.

The trio joins the already cast Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel, Jon Voight and Bernie Mac in the Michael Bay-directed film.

Taylor will play Maggie Marconi, a codebreaker at a think tank. Nolasco and Gibson are Army officers.

Angry Films' Don Murphy, Tom DeSanto and Lorenzo di Bonaventura are producing. Steven Spielberg is executive producing. Hasbro's Brian Goldner also is executive producing.

It is Transformers after all, you weren't expecting deep meaningful relationships and thought provoking dialogue were you?
For that just watch Robot Chicken, the one where Optimus Prime has prostate cancer.

LOL that was the best....where he transformed into a coffin....
God I love Seth Green.

I love that episode! I loved it when they were done with that skit and they went to the guy at the hospital, where he tells the doctor it burns when he pees, and Optimus comes out of nowhere and says "What did I just tell you?!?" Comedic gold! Miy favorite episode is still "Big Brother: Horror Version".

Or when Soundwave turns into a portable toilet.................due to unemployment.:p

Plane to be Filmed for Transformers?
Source: bittercold May 19, 2006

With the cast in place for Michael Bay's Transformers (see full details here), scooper 'bittercold' alerts us to a location where the production is likely to film next week:

I am not going to tell you how I know this information because it is hush hush... but lets just say I am affiliated with the air force... here is what I know.

Next week on Wednesday and Thursday a C-130J model from Little Rock AFB Arkansas is heading for Holloman AFB New Mexico for shooting on Transformers the movie. They might be taking on the roll of a MC-130. I know they are going to do attack rolls and manuevers. I also know that after Holloman they are heading on to San Diego... so there may be more filming there.

The point of this... the film is geting USAF support and there will be C-130s in the movie.

Believe it or not... but filming is starting next week.

Transformers is scheduled for a July 4, 2007 release date.

Check this out.

That's pretty hard to believe considering these types of C.G. heavy films sometimes take up to a year in post-production.Principle photography on this must be ridiculously short....that or they plan on pushing back the realease date.

Transformers Shooting at the Hoover Dam

Scooper 'handz510' tells us that Transformers will be filmed at the Hoover Dam Thursday and Friday. The dam is located 30 miles southeast of Las Vegas on US Highway 93 at the Nevada-Arizona border.

My wife and I will be heading to Hoover Dam tomorrow to play tourists in the upcoming movie. The crew will be shooting in that area Thursday and Friday. Some of the other roles that they were casting were Secret Service Agents, Cops, Medics/Med Evac, SWAT Team type, and more tourists. Hopefully I'll get a chance to snap some pics. Oh yea, we ran into John Voight, who in real life is pretty damn tall, and looks way younger in person.

If I remeber correctly in the piolt episode the transformers faught at Sherman Dam, but still its a dam so we might see some live action recreation of that sceen.

Nice!

I have to wonder... why exactly are they making this movie? The Transformers haven't been popular for quite a few years now. Are they just making it for mid-twenties fanboys? Oh wait... that pretty much describes me. Carry on, Mr. Bay.

And girls. I'm stoked about this. I even have the original Transformers movie....but since Boogie Nights, every time I watch it I laugh my ass off because one of the main songs is the one Mark Wahlberg was trying to record when he was all coked out. Whenever it plays all I can think about it off key singing. Now I'm waiting for the Snorks, Smurfs, and G.I. Joe to jump on the live action eighties bandwagon....should be interesting:D

First off, why not make it. Second the Transformers has never been out of popularity. After G1 ended they still showed re-runs in the 90's. Then there was Best Wars and Beast Mechnines in the late 90's. After that and into present there is the anime Transformers which is mainly for the youth of today. So Transformers is still and fairly popular media, I still see new toys coming out all the time at Wal Mart and last year they started re-releaseing the G1 toys! So I'd say that Transformers has very good longviety.

But I agree, it will mainly appleal to the mid-twenties fanboys and girls.

This film should do well in the U.S.(80's retro) aswell as Japan they've shown Transformers in their various incarnations non stop since G1....Big Convoy anyone?

Transformers are the best!! cant wait for the movie:cool:
