<A href="http://www.moviesonline.ca/" target="moviesonline">Movies Online</A> got an exclusive <A href="http://www.moviesonline.ca/movienews_11409.html" target="moviesonline">interview</A> with Lorenzo di Bonaventura, one of the producers of the upcoming <a href="http://webmaster.transformersmovie.com/click.html?c=FLINCG" target="_blank">Transformers Movie</a>, to be released July 4th 2007.

In the interview di Bonaventura talks about where the movie is at, at this moment.

"<i>I think it’s everybody’s sort of internal barometer, you know. I personally can’t take 32-foot size metal robots all that seriously. (Laughs) On the other hand, I take what they represent very seriously. So it’s that sort of balance where you say to yourself ‘you know what, let’s not pretend we’re making War and Peace.’ We’re not. But people feel really passionate about what these Autobots and Decepticons stand for and there’s a very rich mythology so there’s a real demand to deliver that. So for the non-fan of it, we had to have enough fun with it so that they would be entertained and for the fan, we had to take it very seriously what we were executing around the Autobots and the Decepticons</i>".

Another long deep sigh.

They out and out admit that they are not taking this movie seriously. Why work on the material then if you don't respect it?

What? I've done nothing worthy of a ban, unless speaking my mind is against the rules. Read my post. What did I do wrong? Prove that that Bay&Co don't give a rat's ass about Transformers or how much they disgrace it as long as they make a quick buck?

Bluebullet the whining is getting kind of old, in terms of a concept big robots that turn into little cars and guns a tapedecks is pretty ridiculous. We all know that you dont like the designs, you dont like the director, you dont like anything associated with this movie, you dont have to pound it into the collective skulls of the people that come to these boards on a daily basis.

That aside you dont have to particularly like a project in order to do good work on it. I dont particulaly like every aspect of my job, but I still do what it takes to put out a good product and that what the makers are doing.

They even said in the interview that for the fans they took it seriously while still making it a popcorn movie for the general public.

All you've done here is whine and argue for the sake of arguing. It's pretty pathetic.

Wow. Forgot that people weren't allowed to have an opinion on these boards...wait, yeah they are.

Usually people that are producers are the ones that love the material and bring it from the ground up. Like Don Murphy.

Try waiting until you see the movie in its entirety before you say they don't give a rat's ass, because in reality you've seen what a few pictures and sketchs, some teaser trailer footage, and a few figure designs that overall get a positive reaction. Even some of the most critical naysayers have swayed a little bit in their thoughts about the movie but all you can do is still whine and complain like someone sold you a knockoff go-bot

Having an opinion is fine and dandy and I have nothing against that, but it's pointless to whine at every opportunity that you have about something that you really have only seen very little of the overall picture.
