SHOCKWAVE to be in Dreamworks' Transformers The Movie?

Amidst all of the other Transformers news that occured today, I wanted to make sure that the first reference of SHOCKWAVE being in the movie wasn't overlooked. Ol' one eyes certainly deserves his time in the spotlight. This might actually make sense why we've seen a couple other Shockwaves (Shockblast, Laserwave - whatever name you want to use) appear as toys in the past year.

Here's the specific quote from

You can read the full article ComingSoon.net.

Today's "most uncomfortable" quote of the day:

"The first question you have to ask yourself is what's the movie? We sat down with Steven Spielberg, and we said that the action scenes in this movie are a given, but he said that that it's the story of a boy and his car and that he wants to bring back the old Amblin movies. It's 'Back to the Future'â€¦great! We're in! It's a real challenge, because the key to making those movies work--and I totally think it's why 'War of the Worlds' works so well--is to be so invested in the people and to maintain the subjectivity of the humans. If you start 'Transformers' with giant robots sitting in a spaceship flying through space, your movie is dead in the water. It's all about keeping it at a human level, and seeing the amazing things that are going on through the eyes of the characters."

Hopefully this will be clarified so we all don't freak out for the next 2 years. I'm sure the movie is in good hands.

As metioned yesterday Transfomers.com has been updated today with a big Announcement concerning the forthcoming Transformers Live Action Movie. The new comes in the form of a Comic Con Q&A and a Movie News Article giving details of the Deamworks film. Both news items announce the Movie will get its US release on July 4th 2007!

NOTE: The tentative release date for the Transformers movie does not coincide with the release date of Spider-Man 3. Spider-Man 3 is set to be released on May 4th, 2007, according to the official Spider-Man 3 website.

TRANSFORMERS WILL BE MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE AT THEATRES NATIONWIDE ON 07-04-07

The live-action â€œTransformersâ€ movie has been set to open nationwide on 07-04-07, it was jointly announced today by DreamWorks Pictures, Hasbro, Inc.
(NYSE: HAS), and Paramount Pictures.

The feature, based on the globally popular Transformers franchise, will be directed by Michael Bay (upcoming â€œThe Island,â€ â€œArmageddonâ€) from a screenplay being written by Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci (upcoming â€œThe Islandâ€). Steven Spielberg (â€œWar of the Worldsâ€) is executive producing the film, with Lorenzo di Bonaventura (upcoming â€œFour Brothersâ€), Tom DeSanto (â€œX-Menâ€ and â€œX2: X-Men Unitedâ€) and Don Murphy (â€œThe League of Extraordinary Gentlemenâ€) serving as co-executive producers.

In making the announcement, DreamWorks head of distribution Jim Tharp stated, â€œUnder the direction of Michael Bay, and with Steven Spielberg executive producing, we know that â€˜Transformersâ€™ is going to be the kind of explosive action movie that is perfect for the height of the summer movie season. By staking our claim on the 4th of July, 2007, we ensure that we not only have the time to make this movie the way it should be made, but also to build excitement and awareness leading up to its release.â€

â€œFans around the world have wanted a Transformers live-action movie for a long time and we are thrilled to work with DreamWorks and Paramount to bring this legendary saga to life on the big screen,â€ said Brian Goldner, President of Hasbroâ€™s U.S. Toy segment. â€œWith some of the entertainment industryâ€™s best talent on board for this film, fans will experience Transformers in a way that is incredibly powerful.â€

DreamWorks will distribute the film domestically, while Paramount will handle the international release. Hasbro will work with the production team and DreamWorks on all aspects of the filmâ€™s creative development, marketing and promotions, and will manage merchandising in conjunction with the release of the film.

This week, DreamWorks is launching the official â€œTransformersâ€ movie website (www.transformers.com) at Comic-Con International, being held from July 13 â€“ 17 in San Diego, California. â€œTransformersâ€ will also be making its presence known in a big way, with a huge 18-wheeler truck sporting the instantly recognizable Transformers logo dominating the area around the DreamWorks boothâ€”and much of the convention floorâ€”letting thousands of fans know that â€œTransformersâ€ is coming to the big screen on 07-04-07.

Introduced in 1984, the Transformers brand took the world by storm with its compelling saga of the Autobots versus the Decepticons. The innovative â€œRobots in Disguiseâ€ resulted in a tremendously successful toy line from Hasbro and Takara, comic book series, television program and an animated feature film. More than 20 years later, a new generation has discovered the excitement of the Transformers brand and its legendary characters, including the two leaders of the opposing sides: Optimus Prime and Megatron. Today, the franchise features a popular toy line, an animated series on the Cartoon Network and a chart-topping comic book series from IDW Publishing.

DreamWorks SKG was formed in October 1994 by its three principal partnersâ€”Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen.

Don's Update on the previous Sunday Update!

In another case of "not reading what I wrote, but reading what you think I wrote" Don Murphy did his best to clarify some things on his report from last sunday. All he said was that the movie was falling behind schedule, not that it was in danger of being cancelled.

The producer had the following to say on his board.

"I just saw a headline on Comics2Film- "Is Transformers in Trouble?" and then linking to my Sunday post. God knows who else did it.

What is happening on Transformers is what happens on films ALL THE TIME. Steven Spielberg, Dreamworks, Hasbro and I are committed to making a GREAT TF film. We'd rather not make an okay one. And so it is taking longer than we hoped to get off the launch pad. We still will launch. It will be GREAT and then we will make sequel after sequel.

There is no doubt that this is true. I just like to share with you guys the blips and the crannies- but the film itself is not in the slightest peril".

"Hmm. So, let's get this straight...

Steven and Michael want the current writers. SI

However, their draft of the script is not "finalised".SI

They've moved on to MI3 with Steven's blessing. NOT WITH BLESSING, BUT THAT IS CORRECT

In the meanwhile, the script remains incomplete.SI

Soooo, is Bay gonna be shown the current version of the script, on the understanding that before final production starts, the writers will finalise it? NO

Will Bay now start working towards production, casting etc on the principle that by the time December, or whenever shooting begins, rolls around, the final script will be perfect? DUNNO"

Don Murphy has once again left a short update on his board for his loyal "Stooges". The producer of the upcoming movie, can be quoted as posting the following on his dm Board of his official site.

"Whatâ€™s Happening?

The writers have been lured off to work on Mission Impossible 3â€¦which will delay us indeedâ€¦.no script in sightâ€¦.

The studio will have a great big truck on the floor of the San Diego Convention. Tom and I have NOTHING to do with this. If it turns out to be awesome, credit Dreamworks marketing. If not, wellâ€¦.

I will be walking around with Susan and Rick (my VP) Friday and Saturday morning. Say hi if you see us".
