While interviewing producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura about his latest movie
Red, IGN took the opportunity to quiz him about
Transformers: The Dark of the Moon.
According to di Bonaventura, Michael Bay's use of 3D technology this time around will take the franchise to the next level.
"It captures scenes in a way they haven't been captured before and here's a different sensibility to the movie as a result" he explained.
"Michael is so awesome at shooting, the question originally was how the cameras would work because they're cumbersome. Look how long it took Jim Cameron to make one movie. All those things are quite daunting, but Michael figured out how to use the cameras in a day."
"We had a day early in pre-production set aside just so he could test the cameras and see what they were like. If you look at Avatar, the camera isn't sweeping around in the way Michael uses the camera, so we had to make sure it could do what Michael does. I think people are going to be pretty wowed by the result." Other than 3D, IGN asked what will be different this time around.
"What you can expect is more comedy than we've ever had before" di Bonaventura revealed.
"You can expect bigger action sequences than we've ever had before and you can expect a different character through-line for our lead because he's a little bit older and Rosie's a little bit older - there's a maturity there that didn't exist before." "He's moved on to a new stage in his life with a job, and that's an interesting rite of passage, so I think it has the emotional elements that people are expecting of the movie, but they've moved forward in time, if you would." Transformers: The Dark of the Moon comes to theaters July 1st, 2011.
