Chain Gang

Michael Bay is one busy guy... producing a horror flick...while directing a unique action film.



Wow! I just saw the theatrical trailer for The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning for the first time online and it looks great! I can't wait for October 6th 2006. The prequel should rock the horror genre the same way that both the 2003 remake and the original classic in 1974 did.

Meanwhile, Stax of Filmforce offers the latest news on the Transformers movie!

The official teaser site for the big-screen version of The Transformers has been launched. It features the glowing blue eye of a Decepticon overlooking a celestial view of the Earth.

The teaser artwork bears the tagline: "Their war. Our world. July 4, 2007."

[Bay] is directing Transformers from a screenplay by Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman. The picture, which is now filming in New Mexico, is being produced by Angry Films' Don Murphy, Tom DeSanto, Ian Bryce and Lorenzo di Bonaventura. Steven Spielberg and Bay are exec producing.

The live-action cast includes Shia LaBeouf, Jon Voight, Bernie Mac, Tyrese Gibson, Josh Duhamel, Megan Fox, Rachael Taylor, Kevin Dunn and Amaury Nolasco.

The latest addition to the cast is Ronnie Sperling.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the comedian "will play a lead scientist in the movie based on the 1980s Hasbro toy line."

I loved playing Transformers as a kid and watching the animated series on TV.

One things for sure, with Bay calling the shots, the film version will be very loud.

"More Than Meets The Eye" indeed.
