Dichotomy...

The new Transformers movie trailer is up. Spielberg is the executive producer, and Michael Bay (Bad Boys, The Rock, Armageddon) is directing. I'm not sure what to expect. It's live action, so that's strike one. And it's got Tyrese Gibson, strike 2. But it's also got some guys I like - Michael Clarke Duncan, John Turturro (NFWTJ!!!), Zack Ward, and Jon Voight. Too bad the trailer seems to indicate that they're on Mars instead of Cybertron, that's a foul ball at the very least if not a strike out. And too bad I have to wait a year (release slated for 7/4/07) to see how it's going to turn out. I swear, if you ruin any of my favorites, there'll be hell to pay. Namely, Optimus Prime, Soundwave, Jazz, Grimlock, and Hound, in that order. X-men 3 already ruined my favorite storyline with their dumb Phoenix explanation, so this movie had better not wreck Transformers for me. At least I know I'll always have a good animated Transformers movie sitting on my DVD shelf to fall back on.
