Cool! Ive never heard about it before. This, hopefully, will be a great Live Action Movie!
The robots would all have to be CGI though wouldnt they? Maybe the cars could be real and then when they change and are standing upright they could be CGI but in a cool way not in a crappy, cheap, cheezy way.

I remember reading an article about the CGI being used in the film. Speilberg says that it's going to be spectacular. They are going to actually build some of the smaller robots as well as the car versions instead of using CGI. |

DelaRocha is going to love this...
Bay to Take on Transformers?
Source: Variety April 6, 2005
Michael Bay ("Armageddon", "Pearl Harbor") may come on board to direct a live action movie based on the '80s phenomenon The Transformers, scheduled for a Thanksgiving 2006 releaes from DreamWorks and Paramount Pictures.
Steven Spielberg, who is currently directing The War of the Worlds for the two companies, signed on as an executive producer for the project, giving it to writers Alex Kurtzman and Robert Orci to get into shape. Having worked with Michael Bay on his upcoming sci-fi film (The Island), they were probably pivotal in getting the director excited about the project and interested in directing it. DreamWorks will work on securing Bay for the project once the first new script is turned in.
"Transformers" were a popular Hasbro toy line during the '80s, which spawned a number of cartoons, comic books as well as an animated feature.

You know, with Spielberg the movie will probably follow the 80's version. I say this because he is known for pleasing the fans. I could be horribly mistaken though. |

It would definitely be horrible if Spielberg screwed this up. My dad wants to see the 80's version..
DO IT FOR THE OLDER FANS DAG NAMIT!

What I somewhat dislike is that Michael Bay is directing. According to Greg's Previews from Yahoo this is what he wrote:
After two years of reports of director "short lists" that usually included Michael Bay and Robert Zemeckis in addition to a few others, The Hollywood Reporter announces today that it is Bay who is officially in talks, with the necessary production start date getting closer and closer. I am disappointed, frankly, and this movie just dropped, nay, *plummetted*, on my own personal anticipation scale. Have most of Bay's movies done fairly well at the box office? Absolutely. Have any of them been accepted as being very "good" by either critics or fans? By my estimation, nope, not by a long shot. Maybe this summer's The Island will be awesome, entertaining, etc. and Bay's first actually good movie. I haven't seen it. I just know I have disliked every single movie he has ever made. Bay's films are loud, oddly lit, too quickly cut (with shaky camera movement at that), and pretty much represent everything I think is wrong with big-budget Hollywood films.
"The Transformers", on the other hand, honestly, legitimately has (had?) a chance of being a really special movie. Just a few days ago, Sin City opened in theaters, and showed us a sort of comics-style action entertainment that totally broke down the barriers of what you expect to see on the screen. That movie *respected* its source material so much you could see the love in every shot. On the other hand, many of the people in Hollywood who are given the reins to comic book (or in this case, toys popularized by comic books) projects whose execution of the adaptation show a clear lack of respect for the source. Now, up until now, the producers have been talking all about "respect", and how they "get" what the fans love about TF. The announcement of Michael Bay makes me serious ask, are you sure? Because hiring Bay makes you look like you really don't get it. Bay's got a lousy track record, and I feel comfortable calling him out on that. I honestly don't think he will deliver a decent "Transformers" movie.
I think this will probably end up being a very "Fast and the Furious"-ish movie, focusing on the human characters (well, that's already been confirmed), so the Transformers will mostly appear as "talking cars and planes" and will probably only appear in robot form briefly. What we *should* get is the opposite, with human characters barely seen, and about 50% of the movie spent in robot form. The truly excellent 1986 animated movie (and the popular TV series) used that formula, and it worked wonderfully, allowing you to get to know many characters without needing to view them through human eyes, as this movie will be doing. Why do the producers feel the need to change the formula? 'Sin City' showed that the fantastic can now be brought to the screen with all of its fantasy intact. You don't have to water down the formula. The formula worked in 1986; it can work in 2005 and 2006. And it worked without Michael Bay.

I don't see how Steven Spielberg is going to let this movie do badly. So maybe it won't be so bad.
