Can you imagine the devastation caused by a morning swig of the “Bay in a can” energy drink? Urban Outfitters would have to amp production of denim shorty-shorts to dangerous levels at the very least. More »

If you’ve seen a Jerry Bruckheimer or JJ Abrams film — like, ever — you’ve witnessed the handiwork of the Russian Arm. You can thank this robotic, gyroscopically stabilised camera crane for filming some of the most famous car chases in the last three decades. More »

Does Transformers 3 Re-Use Footage From The Island?

10:00AM July 3, 2011 | Max Read

It’s hard being Michael Bay, what with all the money he needs to count and women he needs to objectify. Plus, one shitty, loud, oversaturated three-hour car commercial is as good as the next, so you can’t really blame the guy for re-using footage from one in another. He’s got robot testicles to design!

I mean, who’s really looking forward to Transformers 3? Really? Really?! Anyway, turns out James Cameron is to blame, with Bay saying “years ago, Jim Cameron called me and told me I needed to do 3D. I told him no!” More »

Transformers 2 Will Be Shot in IMAX, Get Ready for Five-Story Transformers

9:20AM October 1, 2008 | Matt Buchanan

Holy crap. Parts of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen are being shot in IMAX, meaning you’ll get to see literally five-story Transformers getting smashed, exploded and all of the usual Michael Bay craziness in the only screen size truly worthy of Michael Bay. Like The Dark Knight, non-IMAX scenes will be letterboxed, and it’ll blow back up to full screen size for IMAX sequences. Man, if there was ever a movie that needed to be in IMAX, this is it.

Transformers Coming To Blu-Ray?

 Well, Michael Bay will be a happy man today, if the rumours are true – TVshowsonDVD.com are reporting that Paramount has given Transformers a release date on the Blu-ray format.

The projected street date is September 2nd, although that is for the US. The movie is scheduled to be released in a 2-disc pack, just like the HD DVD release, although details are fairly short on the ground.

Watching Transformers on HD DVD really made the format worthwhile for me – it’s why I haven’t ditched my HD DVD player. What about you guys? You likely to pick up the Blu-ray version of this?
