Transformers 2 Will Be Shot in IMAX, Get Ready for Five-Story Transformers
9:20AM 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. More »

9:15AM Nick Broughall | 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?

Michael Bay Says HD DVD Is a Big Microsoft-Funded Conspiracy
4:30AM Matt Buchanan | Michael Bay, acclaimed director of smash hits Pearl Harbor and The Island, has never had love for HD DVD, (though it seemed like he got reasonable). Now he says HD DVD is all a giant conspiracy being bankrolled by $100 million checks from Microsoft to slowly kill both HD formats: “Microsoft [officials] want both formats to fail so they can be heroes and make the world move to digital downloads.” He’s probably right, but we don’t think Microsoft is really all that JFK-conspiracy brilliant. Bill Gates yes, Microsoft not so much. Happy accidents. [Michael Bay via Electronista] More »

Michael Bay Still Loves Blu-ray More Than HD DVD
1:23AM Wilson Rothman | Even though Transformers director Michael Bay backed down after bitching about Paramount’s choice of HD DVD over Blu-ray for all forthcoming home videos including Transformers, he couldn’t hold his tongue for long. He told USA Today that he’s pissed about the format war in general, adding specifically: “As a director, my critical eye is that Blu-ray is where my money is.” He also says the bestselling DVD release of Transformers was “not as good as it could have been.” Apparently somebody must’ve got up on the wrong side of the bed.
