Transformers (2007)
>Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura was originally developing a "G.I. Joe" movie, which was scrapped after the American invasion on Iraq. Hasbro then recommended "Transformers" instead.
>Michael Bay initially declined to direct the movie, but was ultimately persuaded by producer Steven Spielberg.
>Early drafts featured only Sam Witwicky and Mikaela Banes. Bay added Captain William Lennox and his team to broaden the movie's audience and secure funding from the U.S. military.
>Early drafts featured Autobots Hot Rod, Wheeljack and Prowl. Bay liked the concept of a Decepticon police cruiser so much that he made Prowl into Barricade.
>Early drafts featured Decepticons Shockwave, Laserbeak, Skywarp, Blitzwing, Onslaught, Octane and Rumble.
>Later drafts featured Autobot Arcee, who was scrapped due to her diminutive size.
>Later drafts featured Decepticon Soundwave, who would transform into a helicopter, and his minion Ravage. Hasbro demanded that Soundwave's alt-form be music-related, so the helicopter became Blackout and Ravage was replaced by Scorponok. A boombox Decepticon was included, but deemed inappropriate for Soundwave and reworked into Frenzy, while Soundwave was scrapped.
>In early drafts, the Transformers didn't speak per studio demands, but writers Robert Orci and Alex Kurtzman persuaded them otherwise.
>Liam Neeson was approached to voice Optimus Prime before the studio decided to bring back the character's original voice actor, Peter Cullen.
>Ewan McGregor was approached to voice Bumblebee before Mark Ryan was cast.
>Amanda Seyfried and Emma Stone auditioned for Mikaela before Megan Fox was cast.
>Bay was initially against casting Shia LaBeouf, believing him to be too old and too confident to play an awkward teenager.
>John Turturro claims to have modeled agent Seymour Simmons' mannerisms on Bay. Bay disputes that, others do not.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
>The movie was rushed into production due to the writers' strike despite having no script, resulting in a disjointed movie which Bay has openly renounced.
>During pre-production, Lee Tamahori volunteered to direct the movie at a lower price than Bay and aggressively lobbied for the job, even leaking his pitch on the internet to generate positive buzz for himself. It didn't.
>Bay attempted to create an elaborate misinformation campaign to prevent spoiler leaks, which failed and actually led to more leaks.
>Due to the troubled production, numerous characters and storylines were scrapped, including Autobot Springer, who transforms into a helicopter; Decepticon Tidal Wave, who transforms into an aircraft carrier; elderly Decepticon Ransack, who transforms into a WWI-era biplane; Massive Dynamics, a robotics corporation created by government to cover up the Transformers' existence; and the Fallen being trapped in a parallel dimension and only escaping in the third act.
>Early drafts featured a battle between the Autobots and Devastator which was scrapped due to the complexity of Devastator's CGI rendering process, which even caused one of ILM's computers to melt down.
>Autobot Jolt was a last-minute addition to showcase the Chevrolet Volt, to the point where he is unexplainably absent for long stretches of the movie.
>Barricade would originally return as an Audi, but the brand refused to be associated to one of the villains. They ultimately reconsidered, and the Audi R8 was reinserted into the movie as minor villain Sideways.
>John Turturro would originally voice Jetfire with a southern accent, but was replaced by Mark Ryan.
>Leonard Nimoy was approached to voice the Fallen before Tony Todd was cast.
>Jonah Hill was approached for Leo Spitz before Ramon Rodriguez was cast.
>Teresa Palmer auditioned for Decepticon Alice before Isabel Lucas was cast.
Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011)
>Michael Bay intended to leave the franchise after the third movie.
>Robert Orci and Alex Kurtzman pitched the concept of Autobots and Decepticons joining forces to fight Unicron, which was rejected by the studio. They departed from the project shortly afterwards and were replaced by Ehren Kruger.
>Shockwave was announced as the main villain to cover up Sentinel Prime's alliance with the Decepticons.
>In early drafts, Optimus Prime would accept Megatron's truce and the Decepticons would return to Cybertron, but this was changed as Bay didn't want to leave loose ends.
>In early drafts, Sentinel Prime would kill the Twins alongside Ironhide, but Bay disliked the characters so much he preferred to ignore them altogether.
>In early drafts, Dino would be executed by Soundwave, while Que would be killed by Protoforms during the final battle. This was changed after Ferrari objected to "their" character being killed onscreen.
>Ramon Rodriguez was approached to return as Leo Spitz, but the character was removed in further rewrites.
>Megan Fox was slated to return as Mikaela Banes, but was fired due to disagreements with Bay, leading to the character being scrapped and replaced by Carly Spencer.
>Blake Lively, Anna Kendrick, Gemma Arterton, Amber Heard, Ashley Greene, Brooklyn Decker, Miranda Kerr, Bar Refaeli, Heidi Montag, Camilla Belle, Katie Cassidy, Lucy Hale and Julianne Hogue auditioned for Carly before Rosie Huntington-Whitley was cast.
Fuck this chink garbage
Can Jason Isaacs save Discovery?
>>84159475
Well he's a white male so thats a start.
Nothing can save it at this pointBut I'll still watch it
Jason Isaacs and James Frain.
Who was more successful in the end?
They both suck.
Tosh still has a TV show
Does anyone even give a shit about Dane Cook anymore?
If Cook was smart he saved his money, probaby hundreds of millions, he sold out arenas worldwide
I TALKED TO BARZINI
HE WAS BANGING COCKTAIL WAITRESSES TWO AT A TIME, PLAYERS COULDN'T GET A DRINK AT THE TABLE
Fredo was a little bitch, was getting smacked around by Greene in Vegas, and ended up betraying Michael in the second movie
>>84159285
>HE WAS BANGING COCKTAIL WAITRESSES TWO AT A TIME
Proper way to have started the thread, dumb OP
So did the "ex-employee" even exist? was it all fake?
It could've been a mess before they finished cutting it, or before the reshoots, or whatever. People usually don't know how good or bad a movie is before it's finished.
There was never any "ex-employee". The entire story was a complete fabrication bought and paid for by Disney.
Wonder Woman was bad though.
I'm three years late to the party, but it's fucking kino. I'm only on Episode 6, so please no spoilers, but what'd you guys think?
Season 1 only, by the way
anon, people are going to post spoilers
close the thread and finish it
it's amazing
>>84159189
The first half of the series is GOAT.
The second was kinda meh. And fuck Pizza for literally stealing his ending scene from a comic
S1 is great.
People that don't like the ending are fucking fedorah atheists faggot that thought that Rust was cool and don't understand shit to metaphysics. Fuck them. last episode is absolutely amazing.
S2 has good to great moments but is flawed.
You ready for the female blockbuster kino era?
This is the end of males acting in Hollywood.
Calling it.
YAAASSSSSS
2BF (too be faire). Most of those "men" movies were pretty awful. Wonder Woman was a decent film 4CS (for CapeShit).
>>84159184
*sighs*
How the hell did Johnny Rico survive the Battle of Klendathu? An Arachnid collapsed on top of him and his teammates had already left.
obviously the whole movie was a fever dream of a dying soldier
He'd already killed it when it fell on him hadn't he? He was blasting away at it with a shotgun. Then Radcheck probably heard him moaning like a girl and dragged him out of there.
>>84159111
It literally says in the filom that RATCHECK pulled him out. learn to watch movies you fucking inept fucking adhd faggot
What did he mean by this?
He was redpilled.
That doesn't really make sense within the scope of the movie, both sides in the Spanish civil war were Spanish.
>>84159110
His movies never are successful or make money, so he has to try to make them seem deep and meaningful by ,years later after the movie was released, virtue signaling and saying that his movies were really about race and other super serious social issues
Time period doesnt matter, just has to be a decent movie.
Battle L.A 2011
>>84159175the first act of this is actually really good desu
>>84159223
yeah i agree
In the US so far...
>Power Rangers flopped
>King Arthur flopped
>Baywatch flopped
>Alien Covenant flopped
>Pirates 5 flopped
>The Mummy flopped
>Transformers 5 predicted to flop
Capeshit are the only big budget movies that don't flop (or underperform) for some reason. What's going on?
who cares about the money they made? Why the fuck would anyone on this board care about the money they make?
>>84159167
Because it determine what films hollywood's gonna invest in in the future you dipshit
Capeshit, Star Wars and animated movies are the only films Americans watch these days
Everything else is made for China
Why do liberals and millennials hate this movie?
>>84158961
They do?
The fuck are you talking about? Malick is clearly conservative.
I didn't get that movie, so I hated it too.

WHY
THE 7 WAS TERRIBLE AND THE END OF THE SAGA
>>84158566
>mfw western audiences dont understad that jigsaw isnt the doll
>>84158566
I have a little hope that they learned why 7 was so bad.
The best things about 7 aren't even the main plot with the faker writer guy, they're the side bits with Hoffman, especially when he kills John's MILFy wife and at the end when Hoffman is taken by Dr. Gordon and it's revealed that he had had been helping John and Amanda.
I've always been pretty impressed the way the various writers and directors managed to actually create a coherent continual narrative throughout 7 fucking movies. I'm having a hard time thinking of any other horror franchise that's done that.
>>84159181
>western
What do you mean by that?
