Transformers 2 hype: LaBeouf Style

By George 'El Guapo' Roush on February 14, 2008

You guys watch the new Indiana Jones trailer with Harrison swinging that whip around like Peter Parker retired early? We got to see Shia in the trailer as well. Here's to hoping, nay, praying that the movie is better than The Last Crusade.

Speaking of Shia, Empire Online got to chatting with him about Transformers 2. This is hype at its best folks. Read and learn:

Michael Bay said recently that he’d written an outline of the story for Transformers 2 and it seems that his leading man, Shia LaBeouf has been shown that story already. We caught up with the Transformers and Indiana Jones star earlier this week and he told us about what to expect.

“I know of a few things I have to work on for the next one,” said LaBeouf. “I’ve seen pre-vizes of the action scenes and I just saw Michael yesterday. It’s going to be bad-ass. We’re not making another one unless it is, and Mike is definitely not resting on his laurels — he’s doing insane shit again. And the pre-vizes that I’ve seen… it’s just massive. If the first one was any indicator of how massive massive can be, this is going to blow that out of the water. It’s insane. Mike’s mind was just kind of made for this — it’s amazing. There’s going to be a lot more characterisation with the robots, which I’m excited about. I was a fan of Transformers before the movie came out. And there’s going to be a lot of action…That goes unsaid, I guess”.

With the writers’ strike now thankfully over, Ehren Kruger, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman can start getting on with the script. They’d better get a move on, since the film is set to start shooting in less than four months for a June 26, 2009 release.

This early in the game, LaBeouf wouldn’t be drawn on exactly what scenes he’s preparing for, despite our threats to kick him in the shins and moans of “Awwww, you’re mean”. But he would say, “There’s gonna be new robots on both sides. I can say that the war isn’t over… It’s hard to do interviews when you’re not allowed to talk about the movies. It’s like I give two or three things away and then I get reprimanded for it. It’s never fun to get reprimanded by these people”.

Not fun getting reprimanded by these people? Ya, I'm sure they'll fire you or at least not give you strippers for a night. All of this hype is merely that, hype, and should be taken with a grain of salt. But Shia did get one thing right, he put 'Mike' and 'shit' together in the same sentence. I couldn't agree with you more buddy.

And after reading your quotes like, "I can say that the war isn't over" and "There's gonna be new robots on both sides." I'm now officially going to call you LaObvious.

Where's my Go-Bots movie? If you find out, e-mail: george@latinoreview.com
