New draft in the works

Don Murphy has graced his board with another update. Shia is official and two other roles are closed to be cast. Vegasplaya and Cowboys at Midnight. Nope thats not a type, those are the character names, I assume the two human ones. Kind of groan worthy so I hope that is just temp fun names for the characters.

The movie drafts are stilling be worked out but apparently coming out with greater frequency indicating its more about clean up rather then practically starting over. On a film like this though the script and the final product will probably be dramatically different. The strange thing to me though is that normally with films that will have extensive and expensive CGI FX have to allow time for story boarding and pre-vis. Technically a month is long enough to get it together but then thats a rush job in two critical elements of pre-prep which if done incorrectly can negativily effect the budget. It makes me wonder exactly how much the actual transforming robots will be a part of this film.

  1. Those are definitely filler names. Vegasplaya would refers to Josh Duhamel, who currently stars on Las Vegas. Cowboys at Midnight might refer to one or two actors from Midnight Cowboy, possibly Dustin Hoffman as one of the younger character's father or and older military character.
