Michael Bay is directing (Spielberg producing via Dreamworks SKG)) a live action Transformers movie, part of it filmed at Calloway Airforce base. Part of the story is supposed to take place in the Middle East.

The trailer and movie poster released show little to nothing of the how the robots look, which makes one worry that this might be another HULK type movie. Peter Cullen is the voice of Optimus Prime.

Here's a leaked vid of a CG test for the transformation.


My opinion:
1. They shouldn't try to make live action out of something that should be animated. I would love for there to be another animated Transformers movie. The first Transformers movie was epic (I cried when Optimus Prime died and they removed the Matrix from his chest and his heroic red palour faded to gray). They could revamp that to make it more modern.
2. Michael Bay is a horrible director and ruins what should be great movies (Pearl Harbor, Armageddon, etc ) Although the Island was spectacular.
