I mean, COME ON!!!!! He'll probably have to do what Roland Emmerich did when he shot ID4: shoot footage of detailed miniatures and mix it with establishing shots of monuments and add some soundstage and green screen stuff. <br /><br />To Anonymous at 8/12/10 12:29PM:<br /><br />Yes, it IS a big deal to add that stuff, when you factor in the RENDERING TIME it takes to render all the animation and scanning that into the film. I mean, with ROTF, Bay was still doing color-correction and rough edits all the way up to the Tokyo Premiere. . .which is way too damn close to the official release of a movie. <br /><br />Regarding Unicron-I say NO. I recall how they did Galactus in the F4 movie and I HATED how he was done. I'm going to wait until I hear OFFICIAL confirmation before I believe Unicron -and as far as voice actors I can think of SEVERAL who'd be worthy of filling Orson Welles' shoes: James Earl Jones, Keith David, Jeff Bridges(if they deepened his voice a little), Avery Brooks (from Star Trek:DS9), Tony Todd(did the Fallen in ROTF), Patrick Stewart (with deepened voice), David Warner, Corey Burton, etc., etc., etc. . . .<br /><br />aka SABLEBOT@tfw2005.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14846463.post-19220818256662290002010-08-13T18:39:42.846-04:002010-08-13T18:39:42.846-04:00I feel like Washington is going to be a KEY part i...I feel like Washington is going to be a KEY part in the movie and the history behind the transformers. And them not being able to film in the national mall might mean a fake one to be built on a set to still get all the shots they wanted for the film.

I believe the script will have some changes of course, probably due to less pyrotechnics and more CG or whatever chase scenes will be reduced for the sake of monument safety.<br /><br />If anyone can do a big scene in a very small amount of time, it would have to be Michael Bay who is well-known to always have a back-up plan and is really anal about efficiency and timeliness.LionBoogynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14846463.post-23265849137759249382010-08-12T19:16:27.846-04:002010-08-12T19:16:27.846-04:00So wait...they ARE or AREN'T going to shoot at...So wait...they ARE or AREN'T going to shoot at the mall in late sept?

Even if there can't be any explosions, they can use that time to get establishing shots and any scenes that don't require pyrotechnics and they can always composite in the monuments in post like they did with the building Sam ended up in at the end of TF1.<br /><br />They can always recreate pieces of the DC area in a back lot and/or sound stage if necessary with bluescreen or what not. Probably all depends on budget and scheduling.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14846463.post-75491917224484752482010-08-12T14:12:14.389-04:002010-08-12T14:12:14.389-04:00Every movie director tries and tries.

I think not. Besides, with Bay's style having cameras moving all over the place, you can't see the background or tell where it is anyway. This decision by the NPS is unfortunate but ultimately wise, and hardly worth fretting about... When the film comes out, we won't be able to tell if it was actually shot there or not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14846463.post-38516658093308839342010-08-12T11:31:41.793-04:002010-08-12T11:31:41.793-04:00I live in DC, and I would go to the national mall ...I live in DC, and I would go to the national mall to see a movie being made.

Everyone has just been trying to hype one character or another, and at this point 90% of what we know is all speculation. <br /><br />On the topic of them filming in the National Mall, I totally see their point in not allowing the filming. Most people don't know but there was actually quite a bit of damage to Chicago buildings when they were filming. Most of the places received compensation to repair any damages, but for compairisons sake, lets just say that what if that damage occured to a significant, historic, national symbol. Would just throwing more money at it make it ok?
