Tranformers Two Direction

Producer Don Murphy was planning a G.I. Joe film adaptation, but when the United States took part in the invasion of Iraq in March 2003, Hasbro suggested adapting the Transformers franchise instead. Tom DeSanto joined Murphy because he was a fan of the series. They met with comic book writer Simon Furman, and cited the Generation 1 cartoon and comics as their main influence. They made the Creation Matrix their plot device, though Murphy had it renamed because of the The Matrix film series. DeSanto chose to write the treatment from a human point-of-view to engage the audience, while Murphy wanted it to have a realistic tone, reminiscent of a disaster film. The treatment featured the Autobots Optimus Prime, Ironhide, Jazz, Prowl, Ratchet, Wheeljack, and Bumblebee, and the Decepticons Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave, Ravage, Laserbeak, Rumble, Skywarp and Shockwave.

Steven Spielberg, a fan of the comics and toys, signed on as executive producer in 2004. John Rogers wrote the first draft, which pitted four Autobots against four Decepticons, and featured the Ark spaceship. Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, fans of the cartoon, were hired to rewrite the script in February 2005. Spielberg suggested that "a boy and his car" should be the focus. This appealed to Orci and Kurtzman because it conveyed themes of adulthood and responsibility, "the things that a car represents in [the United States]". The characters of Sam and Mikaela were the sole point-of-view given in Orci and Kurtzman's first draft. The Transformers had no dialogue, as the producers feared talking robots would look ridiculous. The writers felt that even if it would look silly, not having the robots speak would betray the fanbase. Spielberg read each of Orci and Kurtzman's drafts and gave notes for improvement. The writers remained involved throughout production, rewriting dialogue for the robots during the sound mixing, after finding unexpected quirks in the characters' animation.

Michael Bay was asked to direct by Spielberg on July 30, 2005, but he dismissed the film as a "stupid toy movie".Nonetheless, he wanted to work with Spielberg, and gained a new respect for the mythology upon visiting Hasbro. Bay considered the first draft "too kiddie", so he increased the military's role in the story. The writers sought inspiration from G.I. Joe for the soldier characters, being careful not to mix the brands. They also experimented with numerous robots from the franchise, ultimately selecting the characters most popular among the filmmakers to form the final cast. Bay acknowledged that most of the Decepticons were selected before their names or roles were developed, as Hasbro had to start designing the toys. Some of their names were changed because Bay was upset that they had been leaked. Optimus, Megatron, Bumblebee and Starscream were the only characters present in each version of the script. Arcee was a female Transformer introduced by Orci and Kurtzman, but she was cut because they found it difficult to explain robotic gender; Bay also disliked her motorcycle form, which he found too small. An early idea to have the Decepticons simultaneously strike multiple places around the world was also dropped.

Introduction To Transformers Two

Transformers is a 2007 live action film adaptation of the Transformers franchise, Michael Bay (Director), Roberto Orci Story Writer and Alex Kurtzman. It stars Shia LaBeouf as Sam Witwicky, a teenager involved in a war between the heroic Autobots and the evil Decepticons, two factions of alien robots who can disguise themselves by transforming into everyday machinery. The story Decepticons desire control of the All Spark, the object that created their robotic race, with the intention of using it to build an army by giving life to the machines of Earth. Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, Jon Voight and John Turturro also star, while Peter Cullen and Hugo Weaving provide the voices of Optimus Prime and Megatron respectively.

Producers Don Murphy and Tom DeSanto developed the project in 2003, with a treatment written by DeSanto. Executive producer Steven Spielberg came on board the following year, and he hired Orci, Kurtzman and Bay for the project in 2005. The filmmakers wanted a realistic depiction of the story, and created a complex design aesthetic for the robots to stress their alien nature. The computer-generated characters were programmed to have thousands of mechanical pieces move as they transformed and maneuvered. The military of the United States and General Motors lent vehicles and aircraft during filming, which saved money for the production and added realism to the battle scenes.

Hasbro organized an enormous promotional campaign for the film, making deals with hundreds of companies. This advertising blitz included a viral marketing campaign, coordinated releases of Transformers prequel comics books, Transformers toys and books, as well as product placement deals with GM and eBay. The film was a box office success despite mixed fan reaction to the radical redesigns of the characters, and reviews criticizing the focus on the humans at the expense of the robots. It is the thirtieth most successful film released and the fifth most successful of 2007, grossing approximately US$708 million worldwide. The film won four awards from the Visual Effects Society and was nominated for three Academy Awards. It revitalized media interest in the franchise, and a sequel Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is expected for release on June 26, 2009.

CCI: IDW Rolls Out More Transformers in ‘09

Which is a Hot topic Disscusion About the Transformers Two. Read More About the Hot topic by Kiel Phegley

By the time Michael Bay's "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" hits movie theaters across America next summer, IDW is hoping that Transfans everywhere will roll out to comic shops in equal numbers as they do to multiplexes. The publisher shows no signs of stopping their various waves of "Transformers" comic book as they announced a strong slate of Robots In Disguise stories set to debut throughout the rest of 2008 and into 2009 at Comic-Con International's "All Hail the Transformers!" panel in San Diego including new tie-ins to the upcoming film sequel, more mini series and one-shots set in the Generation 1 universe such as a 5-part "Dinobots" series and the long-rumored origin of the Transformers mythology called "The Thirteen" written by Simon Furman.

"We're definitely trying to do a little something for everybody on 'Transformers,'" IDW Publisher and Editor-in-Chief Chris Ryall told CBR, and with the sheer number of Transformers comics ramping up for production, readers will have plenty of options. Immediate plans for the classic Generation 1-style comics IDW has been producing over the past few years include a new "Spotlight" one-shot focusing on the character Blurr by writer Shane McCarthy who also heads up the recently launched "All Hail Megatron!" mini series which will soon feature an original character called Drift who has been selected by Transformers owners Hasbro to be made into a toy - the first original IDW creation to ever receive the honor.

"You push for that in every series, so it was a very nice surprise getting to do that," Ryall explained. "It was pretty awesome when Shane McCarthy created this stuff and we had Guido [Guidi] do sketches for it. We thought, 'Aw, there's no way they're ever going to let us do this.' But they loved it! They were like, 'Give us more sketches, and let us see it in color. How will is transform? What'll it look like and turn into?' And then really quickly, they said, 'Our designers loved it. It's going to be a toy.'"

Next summer, longtime Transformers writer and general guru Furman will return to the movie-verse for the adaptation of the new picture. "I think it's great having him work on both because he brings such great decades of knowledge and information about the characters and this world and make it make even more sense," Ryall said.

For his part, Furman is looking forward to tying together some of the background established in the original comics to the stories presented on screen. "I certainly will look at it to see if there's more depth that we can layer into it," the writer explained. "I know that the movies, without too many specifics, don't touch upon some of the mythology of the Transformers. There's a little bit of that there, but I figure in the way of movies it won't be a big part because that would require a lot of budget and so forth. There may be an opportunity in the adaptation to go a little deeper in to some of that side.

"Maximum Dinobots"

"I think both Hasbro and the movie people and IDW are fully invested in this movie universe because it's going to be around for a few years yet, what with possible sequels and sequels to sequels. I think this is something everybody's going to be behind for a while. There's scope to developing material between the movies or running up to the movie or just out the other side of it. I think everybody's geared up for this movie-verse now, and come next year it will all start to be a lot more integral with the mythos behind Transformers."

The rest of Furman's upcoming work will center on two of his most beloved ideas within the Transformers comic universe; longtime fan favorite characters the Dinobots get a 5-issue series titled "Transformers: Maximum Dinobots" and drawn by Nick Roche, and 25 years of hints finally come into light when the definitive Transformers origin tale "Transformers: The 13" debuts in 2009.

"This is still evolving as we speak, but the story I'm working on is quite focused on a period way back in the Transformers history," Furman said of the origin. "We're not going to feed everything into an ongoing Transformers storyline. It's going to be very much its own start up story. It's the very beginning. We're winding things back to show how it all started and how the big forces that shaped everything else came to be.

"I've never really had the chance to lay down the definitive story around these guys and what role they played in what came after them. Over the years for various publishers in various publications, I've laid seeds of this group called The 13 and hinted about who some of them might be and how they play into the bigger mythos. I think this is where we're finding answers to all the big questions. We're working very closely with Hasbro in this series so that whatever we do in 'The 13' is very much tied in to the whole Transformers Universe. They want to get all of their irons in the fire ready and in the right order for 2009, which is the 25th anniversary. We're all working hopefully to get a definitive, cohesive Transformers Universe in terms of the back story."

"Maximum Dinobots"

As for the modern comics era, Furman's choice to expand the Dinobots characters out into their own series owes less to the mechanical lizard's popularity with fans as it did their popularity with him. "They connected to me. I just thought, 'What a cool idea! Robot dinosaurs!' They immediately struck me as the kind of characters that were going to be tough and ornery and maybe not get along with the rest of the guys since they're their own little unit. There's lots of potential there for character, for them to be the dramatic spur for lots of things. They don't necessarily go along with orders or see eye to eye with the commanders. I saw the potential right away."

The series will pick up on the larger story Furman has been crafting for the characters since he began at IDW. "There's going to be quite a big supporting cast in this. The main Decepticon bad guy is Scorponok who's we've established already as being a guy who essentially merges his technology with whichever planets' he's on. So he's gone ahead and created a whole army of what he calls Headmasters, who are clones of an Autobot called Sunstreak.

"We've got a couple of others in the mix as well - one or two of which I think might be a nice surprise for people. There's lots going on with lots of characters good and bad, but we won't be focusing on the likes of Megatron just because he's busy over in 'All Hail Megatron!' and we don't want him in too many places at once."

Of course, the main stars of the series are Grimlock and his crew of Dinobots, each of whom will have a kind of miniature spotlight tale as the five issue roll along. "IDW and Chris were very clear that they wanted something self supportive as well as tying up a few loose ends. What you've got is a very focused, Dinobot-led series that really gets to grips with the mechanics of this team that we've only really seen in one little appearance back in 'Spotlight: Shockwave' when they first appeared.

"It's our chance to really get into the minds and the dynamics of this team and show what makes them tick and why they are who they are and what makes them special. So as well as some big stuff happening on the subplot side, there's going to be some serious stuff happening on the Dinobot action and interaction side where we can see what goes on on a personal level and a big action level."

Michael Bay To Incorporate Shia LaBeouf's Injuries Into Newly Retitled 'Transformers 2: Rise Of The Finger-Splinticons'

I heard this updated from Google news , U too enjoy reading the updates of our expecting Film

First came news from the Sheriff's Department that Shia LeBeouf was not the one responsible for his spectacular accident in Hollywood early Sunday morning. But surely he was not to be forgiven—pitied, maybe, as he underwent emergency hand surgery to restore his Echo Parque gang-sign-delivery capabilities—but not forgiven, for the police stated the actor "exhibiting obvious signs of intoxication." Not so, says his Transformers: Rise of the Fallen Machines director Michael Bay, who's convinced of Shia's innocence, and tells Access Hollywood he'll be writing his injuries into the plot:

"You're gonna see -- that's gonna go away," Bay said. "That's fresh news... He was not drunk. He was drinking hours and hours before."

"I spoke to him yesterday in the hospital," Bay said. "His two fingers are pretty mashed, but we're figuring out a way to shoot around it, kind of write it in the story."

In a strange twist, Bay said he had a conversation with the 22-year-old actor about safety, days before his crash.

"We had a little heart to heart the week before when he bought a brand new motorcycle and I [said] 'Dude! You cannot ride that motorcycle! If you crash, you put 1,500 people out of work,'" the director recounted. "He said, 'Ok, I won't ride it, I won't ride it, I'll just drive my truck.'"

Despite the incident on Sunday, Bay said LaBeouf has his head on his shoulders.

"The kid really has his head together and you know, he's only 22," Bay said. "He's doing a great job on this movie. He's really matured since the last one and I love working with him."

The future of several billion-dollar franchises teetering on his bony shoulders, it's a testament to LaBeouf's unwavering professionalism that his trusted motivation-locator ("She's like the hottest chick ever, so you're thinking, like, 'I really want to do this chick!' Got it? Annnnd....ACTION!") would so ardently defend him. Still, should Bay not find a justifiable way to incorporate Shia's injuries into the sequel's plot, we have no doubt local spondylitis fundraiser and aspiring Bayian repertory player Nate of TransformNate.com would be happy to lend an unmashed hand, filling in as Shia's finger-double for Bumblebee-steering or Megan Fox-goosing close-ups.

Shooting Spots

Just you want to find out more about the Transformers 2 scene Michael Bay is shooting at Bethlehem Steel? Or about the shoot scheduled at the Smithsonian? Here you can view. The opening of Transformers 2 takes place at a Steel Factory in Shanghai, China , where the Autobots, the British SAS (Matthew Marsden as “Graham” and Andrew Howard) and Captain Lennox’s Military team (Josh Duhamel and Tyrese Gibson) are chasing after a Deception Audi RS8. Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox are not featured in the opening chase sequence.
The autobots include a pair of robots called The Twins, which join together to form an Ice Cream Truck (pictured right). I’m guessing that one of the twins is white and the other is pink (but this is just a guess). This appears the be the coolest new addition to the autobot line-up. There’s one sequence where the Twins are speeding down a Shanghai street and split apart around a group of Chinese children in the street, which should be pretty cool looking. At another point the truck crashes and the Twins split in two and have a brotherly fight. Yes, it looks like the comic tone of the original film is back.
Also involved in the chase is a hot pink ninja style motorcycle with black highlights which turns into Arcee ,a go-cart named Wheels / Wheelbot and Stinger. Lennox’s team meets up with Iron hide on a Shanghai Street. I’m not sure exactly what happens but it appears that the Deception R8 escapes. All in all it seems like a pretty bad ass chase sequence.

Megan Fox Reveals ‘Transformers 2’ Script Re-Writes, Make-Out Scenes | New Scripts

When Michael Bay got behind the camera for his most recent film, he chronicled a lot more than just automobiles transforming into robots from outer space. Millions of fans also watched then 21-year-old Megan Fox transform from an obscure actress best remembered for a Lindsay Lohan movie into one of the most desired hotties on the planet.

Now, the “Transformers” star is back on the set with Michael Bay — and true to the director’s favorite word, she says he’s making an awesome sequel.

“As big as the first movie was, this is 10 times as big, 10 times as many set pieces, explosions, and acrobatic stunts,” she told us about “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. “Shia and I make out a little bit; I don’t know if anyone wants to see that.”

Something tells us that Shia LeBeouf wants to see it.

Regardless, Megan insisted that the blossoming romance between Sam and Mikaela is only one of the many plotlines Bay will be juggling for the June 2009 flick. But according to the actress, some last-minute scrambling has been taking place to make sure their romance can hold its own among all those Autobot vs. Decepticon showdowns.

“You know, we’ve been having script meetings, and we’ve been reworking the script, because they wrote it fast because of the writer’s strike,” she explained. “And, we’ve just been going through and trying to do some character stuff for Shia and myself in the middle of this crazy world that they’re in.”

“I can tell you that we’re on locations in some really exotic places,” she added. “It’s just going to be a badass movie. It’s just going to be a popcorn-visual-spectacle, summer film.”

As for Michael Bay’s main directorial input to his lead actress, Megan had this to say: “His main note to me is just to look hot; so I try my best.”

TRANSFORMERS 2: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN

Actress Megan Fox talked to MTV about rewrites on the script and plans for the sequel. "As big as the first movie was, this is 10 times as big, 10 times as many set pieces, explosions, and acrobatic stunts," she said. "Shia and I make out a little bit; I don’t know if anyone wants to see that. You know, we’ve been having script meetings, and we’ve been reworking the script, because they wrote it fast because of the writer’s strike. And, we’ve just been going through and trying to do some character stuff for Shia and myself in the middle of this crazy world that they’re in." What's Fox's direction from Michael Bay? "His main note to me is just to look hot; so I try my best."

Transformers News Alerts|Transformerstwo Arrivals

Apparently, Michael Bay is taking action to combat the early leakage of vital Transformers 2 inside information. After the leaked production photos and concept work for the first transformers movie, Bay has decided to take a proactive stance in regards to the sequel, set to be released in June 2009. Here’s the scoop from the man himself:

“One thing I do know is I know how to screw them up more… We’re going to leak a lot of false information all over the place. I now know their game. They’re going to get a lot of script treatments that they think are going to be the script. They will never see the script. We’ve got scripts and treatments written up that we’re going to leak. No one’s going to know. There’s one out that’s fake right now. There are going to be many others.”

So what does this mean? Well, it means the Transformer 2 treatment you bought off ebay is probably a phony. I reccomend you stick close to TransformersTwo.net for all the real Transformers Sequal news. Our message to Michael Bay: Bring it!

Spielberg said that the producers want to get the film going before the possible Writer's Guild strike occurs.

Speaking from the set of Indy IV, Spielberg also said that Le Beouf will be returning to the role of Sam for "multiple" Transformers films.

Transformers 2 Story | Transformers 2

The film opens with Optimus Prime, heroic leader of the benevolent Autobots, describing in a voice-over the destruction of the Transformers' home world, Cybertron. It was destroyed by the evil Decepticon leader Megatron in his quest to obtain the All Spark. The Autobots want to find the All Spark so they can use it to rebuild Cybertron and end the war between the Autobots and the Decepticons, while the Decepticons want to use it to defeat the Autobots and conquer the universe. Megatron found the All Spark on Earth, but crash-landed in the Arctic Circle and was frozen in the ice. Captain Archibald Witwicky and his crew of explorers stumbled upon Megatron's body in 1897. Captain Witwicky accidentally activated Megatron's navigational system and his eye glasses were imprinted with the coordinates of the All Spark's location. Sector 7, a secret United States government organization founded by Herbert Hoover, discovered the All Spark in the Colorado River and built the Hoover Dam around it to mask its energy emissions. The still-frozen Megatron was moved into this facility and was reverse engineered to advance human technology.

In the film's backstory, the Hoover Dam is built around the All Spark (which crash-landed in the Colorado River) to hide its energy signal from the Transformers.

In the present day, the rest of the Decepticons—Blackout, Scorponok, Frenzy, Barricade, Starscream, Devastator and Bonecrusher—have landed on Earth and assumed the disguise of Earth vehicles (except Scorponok, who hides within Blackout). Blackout and Scorponok attack the U.S. SOCCENT FWD military base in Qatar and try to hack into the U.S. military network to find the location of Megatron and the All Spark. Their mission is thwarted when the base staff severs the network cable connections. While Blackout destroys the rest of the base, Scorponok chases a small group of survivors who have photographic evidence of the robots, but he is eventually repelled. During this battle, the military discovers the only effective weapons against the Transformers' armor are high-heat sabot rounds.

After Blackout's failure, Frenzy infiltrates Air Force One to again hack into the military network, and plants a virus. He finds the map imprinted on Captain Witwicky's glasses, whose descendant Sam, intends to sell on eBay. Frenzy and Barricade begin tracking Sam's location. Autobot scout Bumblebee is also on Earth, disguised as a 1976 Chevrolet Camaro,[2] and is bought by Sam while shopping for his first car. Bumblebee helps him woo his crush, Mikaela Banes. Bumblebee leaves at night to transmit a homing signal to the rest of the Autobots and Sam sees him in robot mode. Barricade confronts Sam and demands Archibald's spectacles, but Bumblebee rescues him and Mikaela. They leave to rendezvous with the rest of the Autobots—Optimus Prime, Jazz, Ironhide, and Ratchet—who have landed on Earth and taken the forms of Earth vehicles as well. Sam, Mikaela, and the Autobots return to Sam's home and obtain the glasses; however, agents from Sector 7 arrive and capture Sam, Mikaela and Bumblebee.

Frenzy, disguised as Mikaela's cellphone, secretly accompanies the group to Hoover Dam and releases Megatron from his frozen state. Locating the All Spark, Frenzy sends an alert to the other Decepticons. Sam convinces the Sector 7 agents to release Bumblebee so that he can get the All Spark to Optimus Prime. Frenzy's virus has shut down government communications, but a group of humans manage to establish a signal to the Air Force in order to support the Autobot-human convoy, who have gone to Mission City (which is 22 miles away) to hide the All Spark. The Decepticons attack and Bonecrusher, Frenzy, Jazz, Devastator and Blackout are all killed during the ensuing battle. Sam, who is ordered to get the All Spark to a rendezvous point for it to be taken to a safe location, instead chooses to ram it into Megatron's chest, destroying the All Spark and killing Megatron. Optimus takes a fragment of the All Spark from Megatron's corpse, but realizes that with its destruction, their home world Cybertron cannot be restored. Consequently, Optimus sends a signal to other surviving Autobots in the universe, directing them to their new home, Earth. The government orders the closure of Sector 7 and has the five Decepticons killed in Mission City battle dumped into the Laurentian Abyss. Starscream, who fled the battle, escapes into space.
