Spielberg Is Rushing Transformers 2
It looks like Transformers 2 might be coming sooner than expected. During a meet-and-greet on the Universal lot yesterday, Steven Spielberg reportedly announced that not only the story for the Transformers 2 screenplay will be turned in next week, but that they may begin filming as early as this year! Spielberg also confirmed that Shia LaBeouf will return as Sam Witwicky, stating:”Shia has a couple more Transformers ahead of him.”
I loved the Transformers movie, and am excited about the idea of a sequel, but I just really hope they don’t rush it and screw the story up. Too many sequels are ruined that way. Too early to know whether or not Michael Bay will direct, but I’d put my money on it. IMDB has the film slated for a June 2009 release with Ehren Kruger, Alex Kurtzman, and Roberto Orci in talks to team write the screenplay.
The first Transformers is due to release on DVD in just 6 days on October 16! My birthday is coming up in two weeks from today, so if anybody wants to get me a great present, this would be a great one! (I also accept Amazon gift cards, Mixed cans of popcorn and TV Shows on DVD.)

Ugh. Transformers was incredibly underwhelming… and that’s from a fanboy who wanted it to be good.
I hope the next one is more ‘Speilberg’, and less ‘Bay’. I’m not sure if I can stand to hear Optimus Prime say, “My bad…” again.
