Transformers Movie On Set Interviews

Weapon: Atom-Smasher Cannon
Last August, a group of reporters attended a shooting of the Transformers Movie in downtown Los Angeles. While on set, several reporters met and interviewed: Michael Bay, Shia Labeouf, Megan Fox, Tyrese Gibson, and Josh Duhamel. These interviews have now been released.

Most Reassuring Quote of the Day:

"We have logic stuff in the script to explain why we say it".

Logic stuff. Ripper.

Shia seems more controlled in this interview. I like his comment, "We're staying true to a lot of them, but again, you can't make Megatron a gun because if you make Megatron a gun then he has to have an orange cap." I also had no idea he used to watch the animated movie. Good stuff.

Megan Fox says she plays Stan's love interest. Who's Stan?

Yeah, 'logic stuff' isn't exactly the best way to restore my faith in this film.

Neither is Bay when he basically says that 'Prime needs a mouth, if not people won't get how he's feeling because our audience is stupid and they need to have everyone's emotions spelt out for them at all times'

Shia Labeouf explains it all:

"We have logic stuff. We have fighty stuff, go boom! We have kissy kissy stuff also too.

Sometime we do the running from the nasty. The nasty is the bad guys and they do not want us to have something that they want but we cant let them have it cos it not good to let them.

Some of the big people are not nasty and are good instead. We like these big people and have fun helping them tell the bad people to "shoo away".

The man with the shouty cone tells us to do stuff lots of times over. We dont know why but we do it anyway. Sometime we have to say words. I said "run" a lot, that was fun! Sometimes we have to say lots of word all together. They paint all these words on large paper and hold it up for me to read out loud. That was hard and I got a shouting at by the man with the shouty cone, I still dont know who he is. Made me cry.

Oh, I forgot to tell you about the big people. When the big people need to go away they can disappear. When they disappear something else is there instead. I was saying "run" to a big person and then the shouty man with a cone shout "FREEZE" and we had to stand still. Then a nice man put a car where the big person was and the shouty man shouts "NOT FREEZE" and thats when we can move again. I felt sorry for the big person, its not nice to be hit by a car. The big person must get crushed or something cos he totally not there anymore. Made me feel bad for the big person. This happens to a lot of the big people. I think that its very dangerous to be a big person.

They made me hold hands and talk with a girl. She was nice. She had to pretend to know about cars. I asked her to come to birthday party but she says she doesnt like the clowns and bouncy castle.

The very bestist thing about doing this story was that I got to eat fish fingers and beans every day at lunch time. Beans make me fart!"

-How many times does Bay have to say 'real'? real, reAL, REAL!!! really.

-Shia only said s*** a few times. They must be telling him to tone it done alittle.

-Megan's character was hardly in the animated series? Try never. Now if you mean Carly,... Second that on what Leonardo said. Who is Stan? She can't even get that right.

It worries me a little when Shia talks about throwing out whole pages of script and allowing Shia and Megan to adlib.

Glad you liked it. It was written out of anger for the sheer stupidity of the "We have logic stuff in the script to explain why we say it" quote.

Josh Duhamel talked fairly. He seemed like a nice guy. I wonder will he collect the toys as he said he would.
Shia started getting on my nerves with his treadmark word ****! I mean it's like he is missing a lot of words in his vocabulary so he replaced them with the word ''****''.
I don't think that Megan actually watched even one of Transformers cartoon, regardless what she says. Stan? WTF? An IESB mistake or is she REALLY interested in the movie?

Strange how most of them are fans but none of them can tell any belivable things about the Trasnformers or they just answer something else. They could memorize at least one trasnformers' name if they are fans.

''IESB: So do you have a favorite Transformer?

Gibson: Yeah, Michael Bay. He's the greatest Transformer of all time.''

The humans suck in this movie, end of.

I'm just interested in the real stars, Prime and Megatron.
Megan Fox...ha!

I finally figured out who this "Stan" is that Megan Fox is referring to! It's confirmed now, Stan Bush is in the new TF movie and will play a love interest for Fox's character! :P

Damn it I don't like it. To much attention to the boring humans who I saw in thousands of movies and with finnaly some good alien characters they will be silent for most of the movie.

Sweet how they talk about raelizm in the fantasy movie. I mean they wanted to make designs of the transformers more alien-like cuz it's more realistic? Those are damn alien robots from the outerspace who can transform, and can talk english with their superbly realistic name like Jazz, Ironhide, Bumblebee? Very realistic...

Realism and 'being realistic' are not, synoymous, though. A fantasy film can have realism without being realistic.

Ravage XK wrote:Megan Fox talks exclusively to us on the last day of shooting. She seemed to be in a good mood and talks extremely quickly ( you'll have to add the rising inflection yourself):

XK: So Megan, now that its just about over,how did you find working on the new Transformers movie?

MF: Oh, it was like, you know.

XK: Really?

MF: Yeah, totally. Its, like, really hard work. They make you come in nearly every day to do stuff. I mean, how harsh is that?

XK: So you're pretty tired then?

MF: Ya-haaa, I'm so droopy. Even my hair is droopy. OH MY GOD, I look a mess!

At this point the interview is put on hold as a hoard of make up and hair stylists swoop in.

MF: Don't you just hate it when that happens?

XK: So looks are important to you?

MF: Oh yeah. They are, like, the most important thing in this business.

XK: What about acting ability? You need to be able to act and emote don't you?

MF: Eh?

XK: Moving on to the story behind the movie. Can you tell us a little about it?

MF: Well, its all about this girl and how she saves the world from destruction by fixing cars and getting a bit of oil on her face. I play the girl. There are a few other people in there also but its mainly me.

XK: Obviously you get to interact with the Transformers themselves from time to time, what was that like? Working with characters that arnt there must be hard.

MF: Oh no, they were there all the time. Actually, you know what, they arnt all that great. These guys would have to hold them in place, they are very long and thin sticks, some had these weird faces stuck on the end. Worst puppets I have seen in like, forever....but better than Barney.

XK: Sticks? Are you sure these weren't just what was used to give you a point of reference?

MF: Point of what? Why would there be a referee up the stick?

XK: We spoke to Shia recently and he told us that you didn't want to go to his birthday party, why was that?

MF: Eww, he's SO childish. He was having clowns and stuff in his back garden. Plus he's really grubby, we had to hold hands for a while but he's constantly all sticky from those lollies he eats.

XK: Megan, thanks for chatting to us. I can see your stylist is itching to fix your hair again so we'll end it there.

MF: Don't you just love my hair? Its not mine, I had it made by the same people that make dolls hair. I wish I was a Bratz, they looks so cool. Yeah ok, bye and stuff.

We'd like to thank Megan for her time and wish her all the best in the future.


Um...Yeah...Pretty lame that you took the time to think that out and type it.
