Transformers 3

In an interview with the LATimes on the process of making the sound effects and their importance in creating an atmosphere, Transformers live action movie series director Michael Bay has released some of the first hints of what to expect from Transformers 3, due next summer:

the third film -- which will hit theaters this[sic] summer, won’t be as robot-heavy and there will be fewer explosions, a tight-lipped Bay said after the Q+A.
“There will be a nice crescendo ending,” Bay said. “It gets much more into the robot character. The last time you kind of met a few of the robots; this time you’re gonna get a much cooler landscape.”

Seriously there was a metric fuckton of robots in TF2. I'd really appreciate a TF3 where they told a good story like TF1. Seriously, everyone quit bitching and I don't give a shit if it hurts your feelings if I don't like opinion/bitching. The man notorious for blowing alot of shit up because the writers aren't looking just fricken said that he's gonna let the writers ya know replace some of his scenes where he blows shit up with story and characeterization.

If he gives us robot characterization, I'm with you 210%.

The problem with the clusterfuck of 'bots in 2, was because there was way too much time spent on the humans. At least with as many TFs as they were ramming down our throats, it was semi-win-lose.

All that this sounds like is more human characterization, and less 'bots. That's a lose-lose.

A worst-case scenario, FSM-forbid, robot characterization - of the Twins... *shudder*

"Oh no," he barks with a laugh. "They're not making Transformers III, are they?" Given that Transformers II made $800 million, they're probably going to have to.

"[Director] Michael Bay talks to me on the phone. I've never met him. We were doing the voice for the second one and I still hadn't seen the first one. I still didn't really know who the characters were and I didn't know what anything was. It's a voice job, for sure, and people assume I've spent my life working on it, but I really know so little about it."
