Bay said: "The Obama thing? I met him in an airport where he was carrying his bag by himself and we talked about movies and apparently he likes my movies. So I figured we'll just put him in."I should add that this doesn't mean that Obama filmed a scene; it just means that the movie makes a reference to him or maybe uses TV footage to indicate he is the current president in the movie. Since most movies were filmed last year (before the election) they normally wouldn't be able to make that kind of reference but since Bay didn't finished editing until last week, he had more flexibility to add that in.
The director joked that he was able to include the up-to-date reference because he had only completed making the film last Wednesday [6/10].

So do I understand correctly? President Obama is IN the movie? like playing a role or something? (Cameo Appereance?)
ReplyDeletei thinks it sounds like hes i the movie
ReplyDeleteI thought he was too busy spending all the tax money to be in a movie...
ReplyDeleteNot sure how I feel about this since I don't trust Obama. I don't hate or like him. I just don't trust him simply because he's a politician. All politicians are snakes in the grass. But if he is in the movie, it's probably just a couple seconds of him from one of his addresses.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm really excited to see the movie. Go Obama!
