A new listing for “Transformers: The Art of the Movies” has appeared on Amazon, the blurb reads:
Transformers: The Art of the Movies
The first book about the making of the movies!
The live-action Transformers movie finally hit the big screen in 2007, and proved to be well worth the wait: a critical and commercial smash hit, it grossed over $700 million worldwide, and amazed audiences with its jaw-dropping special effects. June 2009 sees the release of an even bigger sequel: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.
But how did Director Michael Bay and his team pull it off, and make audiences believe these giant alien robots were real? Beginning with a concise history of Transformers, from toy to movie franchise, the book looks in depth at the making of BOTH movies, with exclusive interviews and over 200 stunning images.
Packed with previously unpublished concept and design art, this is a must for all fans!
This is more like it! Some positive casting news from the world of Iron Man 2. According to the Hollywood Reporter Samuel L. Jackson has signed up as Nick Fury for a whopping NINE movies! Jackson had previously hinted that negotiations between Marvel and himself were not going smoothly, even suggesting “Maybe I won’t be Nick Fury”.
Jackson will appear in “Iron Man 2,” “Thor,” “Captain America,” “The Avengers”, assorted sequels and a possible S.H.I.E.L.D movie.
Just to provide you with a bit of context for The Dark Knight sequel, Warner Bros. have announced that Chris Nolan’s next movie, “Inception”, will be released on July 26th 2010. This falls in direct competition with Marvel’s Thor movie.
We have a date! Warner Bros. have announced a whole slew of movie release dates, included in this list was the Green Lantern movie adaptation which is set for Christmas 2010, 17th December to be more accurate. This falls on the same date as Sony’s animated Smurfs movie.
Spoiler TV have posted details of a new Iron Man 2 casting call, outlining the need for Mongolian Gangsters, Russian Guards and Hot Brunettes. The “Male” role is intriguing, very little detail is provided, /Film speculate the very slight possibility that this could be the recently vacated Rourke role — rumored to be Whiplash, as well as the “Hot Brunette” being Black Widow — although the chance of this is very slim.
In terms of the plot it looks like Russia, France and Mongolia may all have their place in the sequel.
