But he did say a lot of the mythology is incorporated into the film. "We like to think there's quite a bit of it. It had so many different iterations. That's what's complicated about it, is that which iteration do you think is the mythology and which one did you grow up with? That was the hard part."
Another hurdle in making the film was the human element of the story, di Bonaventura told us. "Because these things are amazing. The scale of them is so big. How do humans play out? I'm sure as part of Jurassic Park's issue. You start falling in love with the dinosaurs. But like, what about the people.? In a way the Transformers work themselves out, but how do you make sure the people have an equal role?"
All Tom DeSanto, another producer on the film, said about the story is that "the characters have a lot of heart and soul. They're great characters… The robots are great. When you see this stuff you're going to go, 'I've never seen that before in my life.' And you're going to believe it. You're going to believe that that truck or that car is actually standing there. But, you're going to care and that's the key."
Where can we get this "F**king" shirt!?
OK, this is what I don't get about hollywood-well, one of several things. This movie could be all giant robots all the time and it would be cool. Star Wars could be all lightsaber battles and stormtrooper firefights all the time and it would be cool. Jurassic Park could be all dinos all the time...etc. I get why there has to be a heartwarming story and why there has to be humanoids in it, but then again...Michael Bay-I'm not holding out much hope?
The designs of the robots look silly. If those designs are for their pre -earth look I can go with that, but if those transform into cars and tanks and jets they may as well not even transform. They look more like the t-1000 from terminator. So are these robots going to transform or are the going to melt/morph like a t-1000?
