Trailer Trash MASH: Dreamworks Robot Edition
Posted by: | Comments
Some may think the Transformers: Dark of the Moon teaser trailer deserves its own post, but I thought the correlation between the Michael Bay sequel and Real Steel was too strong not to combine them. Not only are both movies concocted by Dreamworks, both feature gigantic machines squaring off in epic robotic duels. Hit the jump to see the two teaser trailers for the films.

Transformers 3 news has not been scarce lately as on set photos surfaced all over the web in recent months. This was especially apparent when the project was filming on location in Chicago and fans flocked the streets to get a look at the new Transformers action. However, bad news also came from the set. You can learn more by reading the piece Abby wrote a month ago about how an extra got seriously injured during filming. Well, now there is some positive news about the film in the form of an official movie title.
First Look at Transformers 3 On Set

JustJared.com has come across set photos from the shoot of Transformers 3. The shoot was occurring just outside of Los Angeles, and by description is a pretty intense scene. The biggest Transformers news obviously comes from the recasting of the love interest for Sam Witwicky (LaBeouf) when it was reported Megan Fox would not be rejoining the team for the third installment. In the picture above you can see the Fox replacement, the uber-hot Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, paired with the equally hot (for women of course) Shia LaBeouf.
Whoa! Michael Bay Boots Megan Fox from Transformers 3

Wowzers! This is pretty big. After earning over $1.6 billion worldwide, you’d think that the mentality for the future of the Transformers franchise would be, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Well, that certainly seems not be be the case with the upcoming Transformers 3, as Deadline reports that Paramount has officially denied to pick up Megan Fox’ option to return for a third film. Here’s the kicker though, it was director Michael Bay’s decision.
The third installment of Transformers has been a topic of discussion around the movie world in recent months. First on the plate was Paramount’s announcement that the unnamed third film would be released July 1st, 2011. Funny enough, this was news to the film’s director Michael Bay as he surprisingly responded on his official website:
Wait a minute!
I said I was taking off a year from Transformers. Paramount made a mistake in dating Transformers 3 – they asked me on the phone – I said yes to July 4 – but for 2012 – whoops! Not 2011!!! That would mean I would have to start prep in September. No way. My brain needs a break from fighting robots.

Terminator Director McG Calls Off Feud With Michael Bay
Posted by: | Comments
In case you have no idea what I’m talking about, Terminator Salvation director McG (NBC’s Chuck & Charlie’s Angels) and Transformers director Michael Bay, have been in a hilarious feud over the past couple months over whose robots are badder-ass. I’ll give you a recap, but you’d better buckle in, this might take a bit. Back in January, Michael Bay posted a comment on his website forum where he took a swing at McG’s Terminator robots saying:
“We’ve seen the great year end movies, and watched the upcoming clips of the upcoming summer fare. We’ve seen certain movies coming out even try to duplicate Transformer size robots in their ads. Please, come on.”
