[G1] Transformers Movie

[Typhoon News User]

From Reuters (Borys Kit, Hollywood Reporter)...

DreamWorks and Paramount Pictures have acquired the movie rights for a

live-action project. DreamWorks principal Steven Spielberg is on board as
an
executive producer, having reportedly played a key role in the protracted
negotiations.

The film is slated for a summer 2006 release. Paramount is taking
international distribution rights, while DreamWorks will handle domestic.


The Transformers are divided into two groups of robots, one led by Optimus
Prime, who believes in tolerance and the sanctity of life, the other by
Megatron, who espouses survival of the fittest and the extermination of
biological life.


"We will be simplifying the universe and getting back to core,
character-driven science fiction," said producer Tom DeSanto, who wrote the
story that the movie will be based on. said. "It will look like nothing
you've seen before on a movie screen." <<

"Extermination of biological life"?! :-o

Is this movie for real? Cool, it will be interesting to see them
pull this off. I though I just saw a Japan flick called 'Returner'
that had transformer like spaceships. Basicly alien space ships to
look like earth planes but transform in their alien space ships.

I heard rumors of a G1 Video game for the X-Box or PSX 2. So far
all I can find is info on the game that was just put out by Atari which
is based on Armada/Energon. Are these rumors true?

I can't wait!!! :D

Yes their is a Transformers G1 game (japanese) out for the PS2 BUT the
down side is it only works on the Japan PS2 system. And from what I have
heard it will not be released in America due to licinsing problems or
something to that effect. Go to ebay and search transformers PS2. their
are a few copies their $50-$60. I have been looking into getting the
game myself, I just dont have the money to put into getting another ps2
just for that...

I tried responding in the room but my responce never went through.
Their is a Transformers G1 game for the PS2. It is a Jaanese relese
though and only works on the japanese PS2. From what I have read from
people selling it, it will not be released in the us due to some kind of
legal problems.
Go to ebay and search for transformers ps2 their are a few their if you
have the Japan ps2. One guy has screen shots. it ranges from $50-$64.

QUOTE
Some thoughts after returning from holiday and catching up on reading
every post.

1- Core characters- when I indicated that there would have to be a
core team of Autos and Decepticons it was just common sense. The
audience needs to care for the characters. Of course we will need a
human way in- but when you think about it, the X-MEN films featured
Wolverine FIRST, then Professor X and Magneto and then Cyclops and
Jean and then.... petering out. I never said that there would be only
7 on either side. Just seven that are fully prominent and fleshed out.
And hell, it might be 6 or 8.
2- Delays on news- we've spent the last 6 weeks since the announcemnt
negotiating Paramount into the Dreamworks deal. Boring stuff but it
needed to be done. Now we will have a writer IMMEDIATELY and more news
will follow.
3- Simon Furman has contacted me directly offering to consult. What do
you fans think of this?
4- Drew "Moriarty" McWeeney at Ain't it Old News has officially been
declared an enemy of Hollywood by the Steering Committee. He seems to
lack taste, morals, purpose, talent and a belt. What he lacks in
respect he makes up for in blind arrogance. Friends of this site will
send him unsolicted opinions about his dearth of knowledge and his
girth of flesh when they have a minute. Thanks in advance.

Remember- we are listening to you. Kinda like Big Brother and Dick
Cheney, but you know, more benign.

On Video News: I heard there was a G1 game released in Japan only
around the same time as the Armada game. Apparently it's not as good
as the Armada game or so rumour has it.
