Hey Stooges-
Remember when we would do Sunday Postings EVERY
Sunday? I wouldn’t say those were the “good ol’ days” because we had
people like Reggie and Bowspearer here stirring up jive. Nowadays though
we’re lucky if we get a Sunday Posting every 4 months. But I am proud
of what we have built here, a community of maniacs who love movies and
love the movie making process. DM.net is one part Wikipedia army, one
part Transformers collectors extraordinaires, one part friends I have
made and twelve parts lunatics arguing about film piracy and Polanski’s
butt piracy. And I would not have it any way! Love and thanks to each
and every one of you.
→ SPLICE has opened in the US to some of
the best reviews of the season. It is a pretty hugged up movie. The box
office totals could have been higher, but this seems to be the summer of
no movie going. Oh well. Fact is, the other three movies that opened
against us are on track to lose money, and Splice, made for only $27m
with a lot of tax rebates on top has already made money. The reason
Susan and Guillermo and I got involved in Splice in the first place was
the vision of Vincenzo Natali. He is a major talent and THE nicest
person who ever walked the earth. His CUBE rocks the house. We wanted to
bring him “back” and help get his career back on track. SPLICE does
that and more. In addition, we got to work with Joel Silver, Andrew Rona
and the amazing Warners marketing team. They were amazing, hard
working, talented and a joy to watch. The whole SPLICE story has been a
Cinderella story we are all extremely proud of. Check it out when you
can!
→ TRANSFORMERS 3 is starting its third week of
shooting. As you guys know, everything on this movie is super top
secret., but it is going very well and I think you will all be stoked to
see old favorites and new characters coming at ya. You know I liked the
second film a lot- that said the new screenplay brings back the sense
of awe and wonder that made the first film so exciting and special. It’s
a shame that Megan didn’t work out but with what Michael has planned
you won’t miss her. There is still a hell of a lot of shooting to go and
you don’t need me the way you guys dig up clues and jive- suffice it to
say NEXT Fourth of July you guys will be excited again. I personally
can’t wait.
→ REAL STEEL- Boxing Robots. The great Hugh
Jackman. Evangeline “Lost” Lilly. A great little cute kid. The talented
director behind the Nights at the Museum. Steven Spielber presents.
Short story by Richard Matheson from the Twilight Zone. Susan and Don
producing. ColdasIce working on the staff. What more do you want? A
Thanksgiving 2011 release? Done. Robots fighting to the death? Done.
Toys and videogames? jive yeah. The VFX team from AVATAR? Oh yes! I hear
you- when does this start shooting? NEXT WEEK!
→ Upcoming news…
so much to tell y’all, but not ready yet. Guillermo back in LA and
ready to work… Susan and Don marching to conquer TV and doing four deals
in two months (Huzzah!)… a big 80s Franchise that will make you smile… a
Sci fi classic redone with modern FX…
Life is Good. Be kind to
one another, be rough to our enemies and enjoy films. Remember- It isn’t
true till you see it on the screen!

In a post on his message board Michael Bay has shot down the Transformers 2 Audition list posted by Don Murphy over on his message board as being fake and part of the disinformation campaign.
In Michael's own words "Sorry everyone, everything you are reading (other then we are shooting
in Philly) is false. We are going to give so much disinformation on
this film to confuse everyone".
Is this a case of a double bluff? Time will tell, but its sure to cause more heated discussions around the Transformers and film community

In a post over on Don Murphy's message board, Robert Orci has posted an apology regarding how the writers strike may affect the second Transformers Movie;
"How are you?
As you know, all screenwriters are engaged in a labor dispute with the major studios and media conglomerates that subsidize much, but not all of the media content that we consume. It may go on for a very long time. All the other writers I've talked to on every level are ready to hold out FOREVER, all the while figuring out ways to make a living out of the internet without studios.
So now the hard part for me and Alex and Ehren and all fans of Transformers is that the movie may suffer (unless of course you hate the first one so much that you feel our inattention is a bonus). It may be pushed back or a host of other thing may happen to it. For that we apologize truly.
will keep you posted..."

In a post over on his official message board, Don Murphy comments on one of the reasons behind why there has been little news on the expected Transformers Movie 2 film and how it relates to an expected strike in May 2008.
"For those of you most anxious about TRANSFORMERS 2, the silence you
hear is primarily because people are fretting about a presumed strike
in June 2008. Will it happen? I don’t know- does the public care about
strikes anymore in this day and age? What do rich people have to strike
about anyway? I don’t have any side here ( you hear about the writers
and the Producers but that actually means the STUDIOS) I just think
stopping work is kind of pointless. But since no one wants to be
filming IF a strike happens, everything needs to be done filming by the
end of May 2008. So this is affecting the lack of news about
Transformers 2 at least for now. Stay tuned."
