“Transformers,” the movie based on the very popular ‘80s cartoon and Japanese toy, opens this Tuesday, July 3rd in theaters nationwide. The huge cast includes Shia LeBouf, Anthony Anderson, Tyrese Gibson, and John Voight.
Michael Bay direct the film that tells the story of a war waged on Earth between two robotic clans of the planet
Cybertron: the heroic Autobots and the evil Decepticons.
“Finally working with Michael and seeing how he is on the set – he’s a bit crazy,” Anderson said of the perfectionist helmer. “But to see Michael work and to watch him go through his process and to see the finished product, it shows that he knew what he was doing. To be a part of it was magical and great, and to see it the way that it came together just lets you know that he one of the best around.”
“Michael Bay is intense; he is extremely intense all the time,” Gibson said. “If you can imagine someone holding a gun to your head for 12 hours a day, that feeling that you’re about to die any second, that’s the feeling you have. He knows what everybody is supposed to be doing and one mistake can mess up a shot. So he keeps everybody sharp. But you understand his process. But when an opportunity happens like that, you really have to go out of your way to make sure they like what you do in the movie. So it was intense.”
“Transformers” opens tomorrow (07-03-07) nationwide. Also, you can catch Anthony Anderson in the new Fox drama “K-Ville,” about police officers patrolling the streets of New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
