Michael Bay Speaks On His Involvement With Transformers 4
So yesterday, we got the tragic news that Paramount wasn’t done with the TRANSFORMERS franchise and was reportedly in talks with Michael Bay to come back and direct if they green lit his dark comedy, PAIN AND GAIN. I remember thinking, “Wait a minute, I thought Bay said he was done with the franchise.” I [...]
Michael Bay May Be Tasked With The Job Of Keeping The Transfomers Franchise Alive
Michael Bay sounds like to he’s going to stay busy for a while. Yesterday, we reported on his long-awaited project PAIN AND GAIN, in which he is looking at Dwayne Johnson to star. The project hasn’t been green lit at Paramount yet, but it looks like depending on whether Bay gets to do this project, [...]
Michael Bay’s Dark Comedy Is Looking At Dwayne Johnson
I’m not a fan of Michael Bay. There, I said it. It’s off my chest. Before I got mobbed by his legion of fans, he really does follow the stereotype of all style and no substance. I got a big dose of that in many flicks including TRANSFORMERS and BAD BOYS 2 (the first one [...]
Infamous Radio: Episode 2 – Podcast Harder
With the debut of Infamous Radio finally out of the way, we can settle into the groove of doing a new show on a weekly basis without the pressure of wondering if it live up to our standards. We’re happy with what we’re doing, and we’ll keep it going as such. We got a lot [...]
Paramount And Hasbro Plan On Filming Transformers 4 And 5 Back To Back
The coupling of Paramount and Hasbro has so far been an extremely lucrative one. The three TRANSFORMERS films have grossed at least a billion dollars each not including profits from licensing and toy sales. The films have helped Hasbro bump shaky sales up a few percentage points and it’s not surprise that their interested in [...]
Transformers 4 Is Seriously Being Considered
The last thing I thought I’d hear today is that Hasbro and Paramount are in discussions about trying to bring about another TRANSFORMERS movie. Beyond that, I didn’t imagine I’d hear Steven Spielberg is in talks to return as executive producer, and Michael Bay is involved in the conversations as well to maybe get behind [...]
Warner Bros. Is Going After Some Big Director Names For The Twilight Zone
We’ve been hearing for awhile now that Warner Bros. really has its sights set on making a new TWILIGHT ZONE movie. Leonardo DiCaprio’s Appian Way has been lined up to produce the project for quite some time, but there hasn’t been a lot of movement on the film as of late, other than Jason Rothenberg [...]
Universal Drops Film Adaptation Of Ouija
Universal is on a roll! In the past few weeks they have been dropping projects left and right. It’s been well publicized that they dropped the Ron Howard and Brian Grazer DARK TOWER project due to their unwillingness to fork up the cash for the ambitious endeavor. Just a few weeks ago they dropped plans [...]
The Future Of A Franchise: Transformers Producer Discusses What’s Next For The Series
For the most part I haven’t been kind to Michael Bay’s TRANSFORMERS trilogy. The first film wasn’t really bad by any means but the subsequent sequels have been two of the sloppiest films I’ve ever seen. Despite my well founded criticisms however the series has made a literal killing at the box office. The third film in the series TRANSFORMERS : [...]
Transformers Destroys Records Over Independence Day Weekend!
Forget fireworks! It was all about the explosions this Fourth of July weekend at the movies as Michael Bay’s mega blockbuster TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON obliterated all comers with a sensational record-breaking $97.4 million over the three-day weekend period.
Jon Doe Wishes That Transformers: Dark Of The Moon Turned Into Something Good
Just in hearing that they were going to allow Michael Bay to revisit the franchise with this film, TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON, I was saddened. No, I’m not any form of Transformers fan boy, nor do I have any allegiances to any source material that would then be sullied by this film, but I [...]
Raven McCoy Discovers Transformers: Dark of the Moon Has A Lot Of Action, But Not Much Else
How does the saying go? All good things must come to an end. But if you’re Michael Bay and things are about to end, you best believe he is going out with a bang. And by bang I mean a shit ton of explosions! Since 2007, we’ve been subjected to the Michael Bay robot explosion [...]
UPDATED WITH WINNERS!!! Want To See Transformers: Dark Of The Moon With InfamousKidd.com?
The Kidd swore up and down a few short years ago that I would never see another TRANSFORMERS movie until some promise was shown that the franchise was moving away from robot testicles and racist twins. Needless to say, everything I’ve seen for TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON has left me optimistic that Michael Bay [...]
New 3-D Transformers: Dark Of The Moon Trailer Should Give You A Reason To Buy A Ticket For Pirates Now
Paramount Pictures just sent over the brand spankin’ new trailer for TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON premiering in theatres this weekend in 3-D. I imagine they wanted to get it in front of as many people who are heading out to catch the latest PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN installment. From the looks of this thing, [...]
Why Is There A Clothed Victoria’s Secret Model On My Transformers Poster?
Following the release of their for TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON, which I found to be pretty awesome, Paramount has finally released a one sheet for the film that doesn’t just show off the film’s title treatment or a couple of robotic letters and numbers. Seriously… how is anyone supposed to know what TF3 means? [...]
Transformers: Dark Of The Moon Trailer Is So Good That It Rips Buildings In Half
Paramount Pictures has released their first full theatrical trailer for TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON today, and, while it is hardly lacking in action like a typical Michael Bay film, it feels as if there’s a different Michael Bay on display here. After running through the trailer twice since its premiere, I don’t have any [...]
Michael Bay Believes Transformers 3 Will Be Better Than Transformers 2
It doesn’t take a genius to know how badly TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN sucked. Frankly, it sucked those big robotic balls it dangled over our heads in the third act. Shia LaBeouf has for it… as he should have. And finally Michael Bay is admitting that it was a piece of shit, too. Awww… [...]
The Kidd Chats With Ramon Rodriguez About Battle: LA, Transformers 2 & The New Charlie’s Angels
With Columbia Pictures sending a few of the stars of BATTLE: LOS ANGELES down to South Florida for a Miami premiere of the film, The Kidd was able to sit down to a roundtable interview with all three of them – Michelle Rodriguez, Ramon Rodriguez, and Michael Peña. I know, I know… cue my bitching [...]
The Kidd Talks David O. Russell & Cocaine Cowboys With Billy Corben
Last week, on the red carpet of the ACE Eddie Awards, director David O. Russell made a comment to The Playlist about his much talked-about adaptation UNCHARTED: DRAKE’S FORTUNE being in the works, but not necessarily being the next film of his that he’d start rolling on. “I’m working on DRAKE’S FORTUNE right now. I’m [...]
Michael Bay Tries To Dazzle Us Once More With Transformers 3 Teaser Trailer
Go figure. I go out to see a screening of HOW DO YOU KNOW, and, while stuck in that theatre watching that, the teaser trailer for TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON is released to the world. It never fails. But, yes, we now have our first look at the 3rd installment of the TRANSFORMERS franchise, [...]
Michael Bay Plans To Make You Dizzy With His Own Alien Movie
Hollywood goes through these cycles, where every studio copies each other, and we get a lot of movies all similar in subject matter. In the past, we’ve had competing volcano movies, competing meteor movies, etc. The craze now is aliens, and guess who’s about to enter the foray? Michael Bay. Bay and his production company [...]
Transformers 3 Opens Like This…
We’re just a little under a year away from TRANSFORMERS 3, and, other than the replacement of Megan Fox with Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, it’s been all quiet on the Michael Bay front. That is, it was all quiet until word of the opening sequence of TRANSFORMERS 3 started making its way around. Devin Faraci at CHUD [...]
Bring On The Dizzying Headaches – Transformers 3 To Shoot In 3-D
Whether it’s been CLASH OF THE TITANS or THE LAST AIRBENDER, The Kidd has spent plenty of time complaining about the damage done to 3-D by their conversions to the format. However, I’ve got a feeling it’ll be nothing compared to the damage that’ll be done to people’s lives when their heads explode when 3-D [...]
Michael Bay Admits Transformers 2 Sucked Finally And Talks Transformers 3
It may be a year too late, but Michael Bay is finally taking some responsibility for how badly TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN sucked… so put that in your pipe and smoke it, all you idiots who thought it was so “great.” When the guy who actually made it admits to it being one giant [...]
No, Michael Bay… Blowing Up Washington D.C. Is Not Allowed
Michael Bay is undoubtedly the king of excess. I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen property damage close to what’s inflicted in a Bay flick, between the crashed cars, the destroyed helicopters, the exploding boats, and the desecrated corpses. If you can throw it or blow it up, the dizzying director will figure out a way [...]
