August 21, 2006 - In a blog update at his official site, MichaelBay.com, Transformers director Michael Bay revealed what's currently happening and what's ahead for the shoot, and he also clarified a few rumors making the rounds online.
Bay confirmed that leaked photos of the robots that appeared last week at TFW2005.com are legit but that they are "a somewhat early rendering." Bay's blog added, "The CGI transformations by ILM are looking wicked and nastier every single day." The transformations will take 3-4 seconds each.
Bay's blog also explained where the big-screen version fits in with the cartoons and comics. "This movie will be a new start for the live action franchise that will not be based on any particular (Transformers) TV series and/or comic book."
The production "just finished shooting a lot of Pentagon interiors on a soundstage in scenes that involved many Chiefs of staff in their huge war room."
The filmmakers will begin filming "massive chase scenes" in the next few weeks.
