Loyal /Film reader Nash Doud and his father purchased a 1975 Cheverolet Camaro in August, with hopes to “Transform” it into BumbleeBee from Michael Bay’s Transformers.
“We are still working on the car interior wise, but exterior wise the car looks pretty good.”
If the photo above is any indication, the project is coming along great. But [...]

Transformers hit DVD store shelves earlier today, but before you clunk down your hard earned money at your local Best Buy, you might want to know what stores offers which DVD exclusives.
I used to collect DVDs religiously, and have a collection that fills two walls. I’m not saying this to brag, but to establish that [...]

Good News: They are making Transformers 2.
Bad News:  Ehren Kruger and the writing team of Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci are in talks to write the screenplay. Kruger’s scriptology consists of mostly bad horror films: Scream 3, The Ring, The Skeleton Key, The Brothers Grimm, Blood and Chocolate and Reindeer Games. Kurtzman and Orci are [...]

Update #1: Paramount Pictures has apparently set June 29th 2009 as the official release date for Transformers 2, according to BoxOfficeMojo.
The Los Angeles Times is reporting that Steven Spielberg and Michael Bay have signed with DreamWorks to make Transformers 2, which will hit theaters in Summer 2009. However, Michael Bay wrote last week on his [...]

In a summer of threequels and big budget tentpoles, Transformers was probably my favorite movie of the bunch (blockbuster tentpoles). And now the film is being rereleased on the IMAX screen with a few more minutes of footage, and a hell of a lot more screen space. For the most part, the IMAX version [...]

Paramount has provided us with this new Optimus Prime Transformers IMAX movie poster. I’m not sure I dig the grey and white gradient background, but that seems to be all the rage these days online. Yesterday we reported that the running time for the IMAX version is five minutes longer than the theatrical release. Check [...]

SuperHeroHype is reporting that the IMAX release of Transformers has been timed at 149 minutes, a whole five minutes longer than the film’s theatrical release. When the big screen rerelease was announced, director Michael Bay said tat it would contain two minutes of extra footage. So who knows, maybe its five minutes of extra giant [...]

SuperheroHype have posted the poster for the upcoming IMAX big screen release of Michael Bay’s Transformers on September 21st. Not too exciting, just a combination of the many theatrical posters released thus far. I don’t know why, but I’m strangely excited to see this movie again on the huge screen. I’m not quite sure why. [...]

Apparently if you buy the Clueless “Whatever!” Edition at Walmart, you’ll get a colorful blue, white and purple Transformers beach ball. This has to be the weirdest DVD freebie promotion I’ve ever seen. How much of a crossover audience do you think there is between Clueless and Transformers?
May-be the marketing team figures that a young [...]

 
Transformers is coming back to the big screen, and it will be bigger, longer and uncut. According to ComingSoon, Michael Bay’s big screen adaptation will premiere at IMAX theaters on September 21st with extra footage not included in the conventional theatrical release. I always wondered why the film wasn’t released on IMAX in the first [...]

HARRY POTTER & THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX (Warner Bros) continued its strong run at the box office on Friday grabbing an estimated $26.5M, bringing its 3-day cume to just shy of $90M. That should put HP5 right at $80M for the traditional Fri thru Sun 3-day weekend, and it will give ORDER OF THE [...]

I was cruising around eBay today when I noticed that Premiere Props is selling the screen used 1977 Yellow Chevy Camaro which turns into Bumblebee in Michael Bay’s Transformers movie (which coincidentally featured eBay product placement throughout).
This Camaro is in overall good running condition with extensive upgrades throughout. The vehicle has a rebuilt V8 engine [...]

 
Oh My God, The Motion Picture Association of America actually caught some people pirating Transformers. The group announced today that five arrests were made for illegally recording Transformers in California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois and New York. I’ve always said we need to keep our eye out for those movie pirates in Georgia but no one [...]

 
Last week we republished an angry blog post from Transformers director Michael Bay, which had been removed from his website hours after being posted. The blog post angrily attacked the producers of the film. It made us respect Michael Bay more than we ever thought could be possible. It’s a very interesting read, but first [...]
