The Transformers gets a director

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.

IESB.net sat down with producer Lorenzo Di Bonaventura to talk about how the Transformers film is progressing. The answers may upset some fans

Here is a copy of the, very brief, Q&A that they held.

IESB: Is the Transformers movie going stay true to the comics and the very well known Gen 1 cartoons and storyline?
di Bonaventura: We are going to stay true to the Transformers.

IESB: How much did the John Rogers script change or was it a complete rewrite?
di Bonaventura: It will be a completely different movie and it is a completely different script.

IESB: Don Murphy has been very vocal of his desire of using some of the original voice over actors such as Frank Welker and Peter Cullen in the film, do you, Spielberg and Bay feel the same?
di Bonaventura: No, I don't believe that is going to happen, I don't know why you would want the original voice over actors. Here you go, this is going to be the process, we are going to meet a lot of people for the voice over's and those guy's might end up being it but making the assumption going in [that the original actors will be used] is I think kind of silly actually. I think people want the best actors to do it. The best Optimus Prime and the best you know, all these characters, you know you want , hmm, I understand I grew up with them too, so you want to be true to characters. I think what's important is being true to them. I don't think being true to them means in literally using the same voice over actors. Some of those guys are TV cartoon guy's. I want get better characters if we can. Some of them might be able to do that and some may not, I am sure that they will get the opportunity.

IESB: Michael Bay has said that the Transformers will be shot 100% in the gold ole U.S.A., is that still the plan?
di Bonaventura: Yes, I think that will be the case.

ISEB.net also spoke with the writers of the G.I. Joe live action film, David Elliot and Paul Lovett, and were told that ...(they) are planning to have all the traditional heroes and villains including Destro. What was interesting was that at this time Destro would not wear the traditional mask but that Cobra Commander would be just the way we remember him. Now we know and knowing is half the battle.....Go Joe.

W1nTry · « **Reply #54 on:** June 09, 2006, 09:51:57 AM »

All I have to say is WOI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But I still want an original voice actor for Optimus prime... i'd hate to hear brad pitt or any other 'BIG Celebrity' as Optimus. Also the voice of Megatron, the rest could change, but NOT those 2.

New Era Outlaw · « **Reply #55 on:** June 09, 2006, 10:29:54 AM »

I'm in agreement there, though I'm not opposed to having Gary Chalk or David Kaye stepping in.
Hey, what can I say? Beast Wars rocked.
