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 [...]

As predicted, Transformers kicked more ass at the box office this weekend, with a Sunday morning estimate of $67.6 million. This brings the giant robot film to a grand total of $152.5 million in just 6.1 days of release (the film opening on Monday night at 8:00pm). WOW. Our friend Steve Mason at Fantasy Moguls [...]

Michael Bay is already talking about the possibility of a Transformers sequel. The action director told Entertainment Weekly that it all depends on the success of the first movie. Well, It’s looking more and more like Transformers might actually come close to doing $150 million in it’s first week alone. I think everyone involved would [...]

 
The Tuesday night box office estimates are in, and FM’s Steve Mason reports that Transformers took in an estimated $29.5 million. This means that Michael Bay’s new film is now holds the record of the biggest Tuesday opening of all time, easily surpassing Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest [$15.7M]. It’s likely that this [...]

How do you make a huge blockbuster summer action flick for only $150 million? You cut costs in every area you can. You might recognize one or two of the shots from Transformers, because it’s likely that Michael Bay recycled them from his other films. Why spend a boat load (pun intended) of cash for [...]

Transformers fanboys (and probably a few normal people too) showed out in full force last night for the big opening of Michael Bay’s Transformers. Our sources are claiming that the film took in around $8.5 million. Not bad for a film that only played for four hours. In perspective, it probably took Pixar’s Ratatouille the [...]

The photo to the right shows a graph of our website pageviews. Usually around 6:00pm, like most other websites, the traffic starts to dissipate. So why is /Film seeing a dramatic rise around the 8:00pm (pacific time) hour on Monday night.
Was /Film dugg? Nope.
Farked? Nope.
Slash-dotted? Nope.
Drumroll…. And the answer is: The 8:00pm opening night screenings [...]

The Cream of the Crop film critics on Rotten Tomatoes have deemed Transformers fresh with a shockingly high 80% rating. The less important movie reviewers have given Michael Bay’s latest a less favorable 63% rating, which is still considered “fresh” any way you look at it. The Internet Movie Database users (over 5,500 at the [...]

Transformers is a movie based not on a television show, comic book character, novel or cartoon, but instead a line of toys. Sure, Transformers has been there, and done that - but it all started as a toyline. It amazes me that Hollywood has to reach that far to find the next “sure thing.” [...]

Haven’t had enough of Transformers yet? Me neither. Check out the new international Transformers movie trailer (the second one by my count) after the jump. It’s a variation of what we’ve seen in the US trailers a few new big robot transformations and action clips I’ve never seen before.

Giant robots have invaded Westwood in preparation of the huge Transformers premiere.
Tweakmonkey reports that Bumblebee (pictured above), Optimus Prime, and the black semi are parked outside the Fox Theater on Broxton street. If I lived in southern California, I’d totally drive down there and get some photos with the giant transforming robots. We have not [...]

Burger King has a new Transformers television advertisement that features Optimus Prime (lips and all) trying to order food through a Burger King Drive-through window. Check out the video after the jump.

The summer movie season is in full effect. I saw Live Free or Die Hard last night and loved it despite the many logic holes and ridiculous stunts (read my review here). Tonight I see License to Wed, which I don’t have much hope for (why does Mandy Moore keep picking the crappiest movies? I [...]
