Seems to be counting down for something at the end of the month. Teaser trailer perhaps?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I do think the movie is in good hands with producer/writer Alex Kurtzman who has worked on some of my favorite tv-series (Alias & Xena).
Can't say I'm too happy about Michael Bay at the helm, but at least his last movie (The Island) was very good.
(I rather dislike Armegeddon & Pearl Harbor though.......very much!)

Michael Bay said he'd give the original voice cast a shot and true enough Transformer producer Don Murphy posted that Peter Cullen (Optimus Prime G1) recently auditioned for the movie. He wouldn't go into detail if he was hired or what role he read for but here's the link:

There's nowhere I can't reach.

They threw it up on the site early after the teaser was leaked on YouTube. Pretty much a teaser in every sense of the word with the only Transformer seen being a brief, darkened shot of a Decepticon and it's shadow on Mars.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Luckily I did.

Other Transformers like Bumblebee had human features in the series but had a mouthguard as a toy. Optimus Prime however in all incarnations even in the crap (everything after Gen 1), always had a mouthguard. In the series it moved up and down or vibrated when he spoke and was cool. While as I obviously had to open myself up to many changes for this movie I think the way Prime's lips move here is a step in the wrong direction.

Well the old Japanese manga had Prime with a face after the faceplate gets cracked:


I liked the spot and have no problem with either Cullen's voice or the "lips" but then I don't have high expectations to begin with anyway since I wasn't a huge fan of the animated series.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Yep, pretty much.


Here was the Prime artwork:


What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
