The Movie Reporter at www.iesb.com has video-interviewed Don Murphy, one of the main producers of the up coming Transformers Live Action Movie. This resulted in two video clips that can be viewed here and here.

In the clips, Don Murphy talks about the progress of the movie, why he started his board, the fans and other projects he has been working on.

"The goal became 'Is there something that the fans want to have more than anything?'. And I set up a message board, which is now rabid and huge and crazy. But the whole idea of it was; 'Hey! What do you like?'. Because there is so much that is in the mythology".

"Is there anything the fans really, really want? And the interesting thing was... No! Because for every character there were 20 people that said 'yes', and there were 20 people that said 'Are you crazy? You got to get somebody else!'. The only consensus I have been able to glean, from wading through thousands and hunderds of thousands of posts on this board is that they want Cullen and Welker. So my point of view; They should get Cullen and Welker!"

"If you saw something like that [the fake SideSwipe movieclip that was found on the internet recently], that is so highly finished, but yet also looked a little bit 'cartoony'. What I liked about it was that people reacted to it in such a positive way! That it is like 'Okay! Cool! Because we are going to be so much better than that!'"
