Recent rumours circulating online have suggested that the third installment in the Transformers franchise is having problem with 3D. Well, outspoken director Michael Bay has spoken out and not only said that those rumours are nonsense but also seems to reveal when we'll see the first teaser trailer!



"Wow, I read these morons on the internet who think they are in the know. "We have have problems with our 3D????” Really? Come into my edit room and I will show you beautiful 3D. There has never been a live action show that has pushed the boundaries of 3D like Transformers 3. We shot the entire movie with 3D cameras. I actually loved shooting in 3D.

I will give full details of my process and why I liked 3D in the next week right before the Transformers announcement piece comes out on Tron and Narnia.

And don't watch this movie in 2D, we made it for 3D.

Michael


What do you think about all this? Regardless of how you feel about the past two movies, there's no denying that they've been visually stunning so I for one cant wait to see what it looks like in 3D! Transformers: Dark of the Moon is set for release on July 1, 2011!

sweet find josh but doesn't change that i am still on the fence for this movie. With an alright first one and a crap sequel the only thing I am excited for is Alan Tudyk. Seeing Narnia on Thursday so hopefully I get the trailer

Also I was wondering how you do the yellow background thing?

I ain't on the fence, I'm not ashamed to say TRANSFORMERS 2 was better than Origins LOL! : p

Okay, the pot Mom sucked and the Twin bots lol!

Lookin' forward to 3!

bleedthefreak: Thanks bud! :) I was never into Transformers growing up so don't really have a problem with the movies. The script and acting might be far from amazing but they're still good fun IMO...I enjoyed them both equally to be honest! For the yellow background, just do what you normally would for bold or italics using "blockquote" instead of "b" or "i".

No Unicron, Megatron transforms into a truck like Optimus or Motormaster, Twinbots may still be in it despite protests, and Bay is hyping up the 3D like a pimp. Not to mention Bay has no sense of humour, wonder what could follow urine and testicle jokes?

3 times the fail. But still I'm more excited about this than I am the Spider-Man Reboot. I shall take pleasure in requesting the 2D version when this reaches the cinemas.

Its funny Mr. Bay would post his own mother having sex in 3D with a mule just to make a buck.

Tron Legacy, Green Lantern and TransFormers 3 are the ONLY movies I would like to see in 3D, because they can REALLY use the 3D feature in a reasonable way to tell the story, not ONLY for gaining more money in the box offices.

Let's not kid ourselves the first one was fun, cheap entertainment (i.e brainless action), the 2nd one was just brainless.

But, wow what a hypocrite Mr. Bay is. He was headstrong against Transformers going 3D. Now he's an advocate? Was this because Paramount said it HAS to be in 3D? LOL. This guy is a joke as a filmmaker and a person.

Yay, he's going to make us a 3d brick of poop to top his masterpiece with.

I think the first one's great. It's not mind candy, but it's pretty entertaining. Second one has its moments, but moments does not a movie make.

Bay forced that second one out like a junkie forcing a turd. Kept the writers under duress like prisoners, almost killed the actors, and premiered it internationally with unfinished cg... unfinished everything.

I'll say it again, he should've been a general - not a film maker. It's already been rushed. Not very likely it will amount to more than meets the eye, imo.

And yeah, what's with the attitude? He's either delusionally over confident or now suffering from an inferiority complex and flinging mud. Let us not forget Mr. Bay, you just insulted some of the people who pay for you to keep your job.

If Avatar took Cameron 8 years of production to make it what it was, I doubt Bay's going to top that in 2.

If he does, I'll eat my shoe.

the forest fight scene in 2 was awesome...I blew a load when optimus tore that guys face off.... that's about the extent of "epicness" for these movies. Definitely wont pay for 3D

3D = SHITE!!

Screw u Bay, I will not waste my money on 3D. 2D is good enough for me. Looking forward to this movie.

We all know this movie is going to be bad beyond belief, why is anyone even attempting to defend these films? They're shit plain ad simple. Bad scripts, bad acting, bad direction...just bad everything!

48and2 - 11/27/2010, 8:02 PM
3d's a tool just like any other. In the hands of the right person, it can be awesome. GL should rock it. Transformers could have potential for quality use of it, but probably not in this guy's hands. The guy is too high strung, and focused on cranking them out for much depth.

"And don't watch this movie in 2D, we made it for 3D."

yeah he's going for the $14 a pop there, or $16, or whatever it is.

I think the first movie was decent, but it went downhill with the sequel. Although they ruined my favorite transformer, Jetfire, by making him a rusty old man(though the accent kinda makes up for it), and the lack of 'Fallen' screen-time, I'm quite excited for this movie. Considering it's filmed and polished as 3D, the appearance of Shockwave, and no Megan Fox, this movie has potential.

Definitely watching this movie in 3D.

Oh for gods sake... this guy is way too into himself. The thing is though Michael, we go to see the transforming robots, not a Michael Bay film. Get it? Only problem is you decided to make the transforming part look like a bag of flying scrap metal shit, and the robots god awful stereotypes with super off putting dialogue. Oh and you thought it would be neat to give Optimus flames... No its cool, just the stoic, heroic, self sacrificing leader of the Autobots rolling around with some cheesy hotrod flames... no yeah, totally fits the character. Dick.
