Transformer annoucement soon at Comic-con!

[tecnowraith]

Well here is big rumor for you:

Last time I had checked, New Line and Dreamworks - and last I'd heard... it was pretty vicious, with both companies really really wanting it. So I decided to check back in with some sources that will talk. Word has it that New Line lost out to Dreamworks, which intends to further develop and make a live-action TRANSFORMER's movie. The word behind the scenes is that Hasbro was leaning towards New Line, till Dreamworks' 2 Billion Dollar Gorilla, Steven Spielberg got in a plane and flew out to Rhode Island to personally meet with Hasbro's team and to dangle the, if we have this, I may direct it, golden carrot. After which Hasbro agreed to Dreamworks getting the project.

Steven Spielberg willing and wanting is the odd choice I can see why. Think A.I. and Minority Report with the visuals of those movies.

Will wait to see if it's official..

I don't know, rumors like these always remind me of the rumors about a DBZ live-action movie, or more acurately, lack thereof.

If they do make this movie though, I want them to use the original voice for Optimus Prime (not the one from Beast Wars), and of course, Starscream only has one voice, now and forever!

The pain I give you shall be pain!

Or did you mean one that was actually watchable by humans?

Well it looks another name to this have surfaced for director. Robert Zemeckis may now be the director. AICN, a site I usally do not trust a whole lot reported this.

dangit you beat me to it. It wasn't alllll that bad, just typical east asian cheeze, which is something they can do when they want to. Although technically it isn't a dbz movie, it's dragonball, as in the first series. Quite a difference in feel.

Spielberg directing a live-action Transformers movie? I am so there!

Couple that with the G.I. Joe live-action movie, and I'm in early-80s nostalgia heaven.

Voltron anyone... (not the power ranger fake attempt) but Voltron as it was meant to be--little mice and all

As for the rumor I will wait to see if anything comes of it... till then I shall continue to dream of a little yellow car making a difference in the world.

If those rumors become fact then Transformers will be one of the coolest movies ever released. If Steven Spielberg gets the money and effects he would want, it could be the special effects movie of the decade.

I'm biased and I so want this movie to become real.
