MTV.com has posted a three part interview covering the development of the Transformers film. Go here to see the video.
The highlights:
- 80mph Transformations
- Many visual spoilers will not be used in the advertisements for the movie, "leave a lot of it hidden...until the release"
- A fan hacked Bay's computer to get a copy of the script
- The original boxy design simply looked fake, adding the complex transformations, and many parts, etc was to make it look more real.
- Optimus Prime paint job is to get a ribbed look to OP in robot mode.
- Wants to make sure the CGI looks real and so shoots as much as possible real and then adds elements. Example: stunt to jackknife a bus and split it. The action itself was real, robot added (can see seconds of it in the trailer).
- Ironhide's gun alone has 10,000 parts.
- Not aiming to just get "named" actors for the voices (hope for Welker?).
- Sequel would go bigger and try to add other Transformers into the next film.
- Film cost was $150 million.
- Transformers is Bay's 7th movie.
- Not closed to idea of a Bad Boys sequel (tossing in for giggles).
As far as interviews go with the movie creators, that was probably the most informative yet. No spoilers but still had actual information. Nice change of pace.
