Michael Bay is on some next level business with the July sequel Transformers: Dark of the Moon, and I'm not even talking about 3-D. I'm talking about the squadron of stunt skydivers he enlisted for a sequence where Josh Duhamel leads a team of wingsuit-wearing soldiers into a Chicago battle zone from the air above.
When Michael Bay's Transformers: Dark of the Moon barrels into theaters this summer in 3-D -- the first 3-D outing for the film series and for Bay himself -- you'll have one man to thank for it: James Cameron. Fittingly, Bay took the stage at a Transformers 3 footage screening Wednesday night on the Paramount Studios lot to compare notes on the format, its future, and its frustrating limitations with none other than Cameron himself.
Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige admitted over the weekend to having a little Transformers envy; when you're in the business of making blockbusters, you tend to check out the competition. But a day after being impressed by the epicness on display in the Transformers: Dark of the Moon trailer, his anxiety dissipated the moment he beheld Sam Jackson as Nick Fury in dailies from The Avengers. Said Feige: "I'm not worried anymore." Gauntlet thrown, Michael Bay!
Sentinel Prime is the legendary Autobot and mentor to Optimus Prime who will be voiced by the legendary Leonard Nimoy in Transformers: Dark of the Moon. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is the winsome Victoria's Secret model-turned-actress plucked by Michael Bay from scores of hopefuls who replaces Megan Fox as Shia LaBeouf's love interest. After the jump, meet them both in new images from the upcoming sequel.
Sure, Megatron's the supreme villain of the Transformers universe, but in Transformers: Dark of the Moon his infamously cold, calculating fellow Decepticon Shockwave gets a turn in the spotlight. Starting with this newly-released character banner, in which Shockwave -- often described as what Star Trek's Spock might be like in evil alien robot form -- poses while laying waste to an entire city block.
A handful of online press got a sneak peek at Paramount's Transformers: Dark of the Moon the other day, complete with face time with Michael Bay himself. Alas, Movieline was not in attendance, so we'll have to take these other folks' word for it and assume Transformers 3 could be the balls-out, insane, eyeball-searing giant robot war movie to end all giant robot war movies! Right, guys?!
Whether you watched it for the $3 million ads, the halftime show, or the men in tight spandex pants shoving each other up and down a grassy field, Super Bowl XLV was rich with memorable moments. Some got your geek pulse racing (ZOMG guys, it's Red Skull!). Others were expensive lapses in judgment (tsk tsk, Groupon) or unfortunate brain farts (Xtina, we're looking at you.) Relive the glory and the wonder as Movieline counts down the best and worst moments of Super Bowl 2011.
