Prime Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 I never thought I would see the day. The the little kid in me that grew up in the 80's can't help but be excited. I know it will likely fail. I know it can't live up to my expectations. But I can dream, can't I? Independence Day For The Transformers! Optimus Prime has a prime release date: The Fourth of July. Transformers, the long-planned, live-action movie based on the robot-morphing cartoon, comic and toy franchise, will roll into theaters July 4, 2007, DreamWorks and Paramount Pictures announced Wednesday. Michael Bay (The Island, The Rock) will direct; Steven Spielberg will executive produce.
Lorden Darkblade Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 I know I'm a bit young to like Transformers. I'm from 87. But my older brothers loved it and I watched it with them. I had the Special movie in a VideoTape Man I always loved Transformers and I can't wait to see that movie! I really hope they do it!!!
ChAiNz.2da Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 Sweet! I was wondering if they would ever get around to it... which BTW Prime... Have you seen THESE? My guess is the animations would be something 'similiar' to this
Prime Posted July 16, 2005 Author Posted July 16, 2005 Originally posted by ChAiNz.2da Have you seen THESE? Yep. Pretty cool stuff. The VW is really well done, as are the dancing ones. I just hope that they get some of the original voice cast like Peter Cullen and Frank Welker to work on it. Probably too much to ask...
RevanA4 Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 I'm just old enough to remember the original transformers the new ones suck:disaprove
REDJOHNNYMIKE Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 '85 So the only ones I had, my mom picked up at yardsales, They never lasted more than a few days;) I'm gonna check out Chainz stuff in detail after B-Star:D
Aash Li Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 I want to know how they are gonna do live action... people dressed up like robots? lol Or just loads of green screen and cgi like ROTS.

Are you thinking of something like... Here are some from the link that ChAiNz posted. These are just small projects. By the time this film comes out the technology will have moved a long way and will have millions of dollars behind it. They can already get things to look photo real.

Aash Li Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 OMG Those were frigging awesome!! Why cant the US have great commercials like that? <_< I liked the copier one, and the optimus for sale one. lols. Oh, and I grew up watching Transformers, I saw every single episode atleast twice, and I have the crappy Rhino Studios release of the Movie. I still love the Transformers, even though the new ones are fairly blah in comparison. I did like Beast Wars though. ^_^
Jeff Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 That movie looks SWEET! Though I am too young to have seen the original transformers episodes, I would always watch them over at my friends house on tape. I loved them! The one line I will never forget (I think was from transformers at least, maybe something similar, long time ago...) There he is, my little guy! There he is, my little guy! Isn't he cute?
Bob Lion54 Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 Awsome!!! Those are great commercials, and the girl in the copier one is so cute! My car can dance, too. That is, if you consider spuddering dancing. I just hope the movie is good, but I'm with Prime on the likelyhood of that happening. Still, I can't wait for the previews. It should look great anyway.
REDJOHNNYMIKE Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 ROFL, I just got around to watching them:D Man, If I had moves like the transformers, I might have a shot at the office girl (HOT!!! ) and have to beat the rest off with a stick:cool:
The Source Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 Ah!!!! Orlson Wells & Lenord Nemoy! Oh wait, this is the new movie, which is LIVE ACTION.... Out freakin' standing!
Prime Posted July 17, 2005 Author Posted July 17, 2005 Peter Cullen and Frank Welker are the names I really want to see on the list...
RedHawke Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 Thanks for the heads up Prime... I hope SoundWave has the same cool voice! "Rumble, Ravage, LazerBeak... Eject! Eject! Eject!" Classic! Oh and we would also get CGI Energon Cubes! Now if they would only do the same thing with Macross... a CGI Strike Valkerie would also pwn!
Aash Li Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 Yeah Orson Wells as Unicron was really awesome! And Leonard Nimoy too ^_^ I too liked Soundwaves voice
