Before you roll out the barrel and celebrate for the gay ol’ time that will be “Transformers 3,” Michael Bay would like to keep your expectations in check.
At ShowWest in Vegas, when asked about the third “Transformers” film — which Paramount already jumped the gun with by announcing a premature release date that Bay himself had to rectify — he managed expectations by saying he would,”wait and see how the second one does.”
Bay already seems semi-reluctant to jump into a third Transformers and when Paramount announced a summer 2011 date, he said, hell no, summer 2012. “”I said I was taking off a year from Transformers,” he wrote on his website in mid March.
Everyone seems to be running towards the trend of 3D, after James Cameron including Tim Burton and Ridley Scott, but Bay seems more skeptical towards the inroads made in the technology.
“3D? I don’t know… I might be old school. I think it might be a gimmick,” Bay, also said at ShowWest. “I don’t know, we’ll see. I’m looking forward to [James] Cameron’s picture,” but added, his testosterone might be too much. “The way I shoot is too aggressive for 3D cameras. It’s a time consuming thing. Who knows… It might be a fad. I’m kinda old school. I’m old school because I like to shoot on film. I like anamorphic lenses, and that is old school.”
After that, Bay pulled a b-boy pose and then walked offstage to rapturous geek applause.
