IESB.net recently interviewed Transformers Movie Producer
Lorenzo di Bonaventura during the premiere of Eagle Eye, which stars Transformers leading-man Shia LaBeouf and is directed by Steven Spielberg
.
During the interview Lorenzo says that there will be
three times as many robots on both sides as during the first Transformers Movie. Lorenzo states that he can not promise
that Cybertron will be featured within the movie, but that fans will be happy that many things that could not make it into the first film will be present in the second. Finally, the producer also mentions that Paramount Pictures are pushing for
trailers of both
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and
G.I-Joe to be released in the US by the holiday season. He did,
however, mention that is will depend on whether the special effects for the trailers can be
done in time.

MTVBlog have published a brief interview with Transformers Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura in which he talks briefly regarding some of the casting rumours as well as the rumoured inclusion of Broadside.
"Recently, the news broke that Jonah Hill wonât be rolling out in
âTransformers 2â after all. Itâs sad, sad news for movie fans hoping
the sequel would get a legitimate comedic-sidekick injection rather
than, say, filling the role with Dax Shepard.
According to series producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura, the movie has
had to move on without the âSuperbadâ star â but we can still expect
some big announcements over the next several weeks.
âNo, no,â he said of Hillâs reported casting. âUltimately, weâll have a couple casting surprises for everybody soon.â
Director Michael Bay and returning stars Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox and
Jon Voight are reportedly on board to return, and Bonaventura confirmed
plans to start shooting the movie in Philadelphia and Bethlehem,
Pennsylvania next month.
âMichaelâs got some really great stuff planned,â he added.
The super-producer, who we caught up with this week on the Downey,
CA set of his equally massive blockbuster franchise âG.I. Joe,â also
shot down rumors that Bay would finally create a long-rumored
character. âA transforming aircraft carrier?â Bonaventura repeated,
denying its existence. âWe saw a Japanese film that had something like
that, so maybe thatâs where that comes from.â
âWe never really talked about that, practically speaking,â he said
of the character who might or might not have been known as Broadside,
and who Bay has said was simply too expensive to create. âThere was
some Japanese animated movie we saw where that occurred, and we were
like âWow! Look at that thing!ââ

IESB recently interviewed G.I-Joe and Transformers producers Lorenzo di Bonaventura regarding both films, though primarily G.I-Joe. Here are some quotes.
When asked about Marlon Wayans playing Ripcord his reply was
Well, let's talk about Marlon for a second. A lot of people are fans of his from the comedic point of view obviously for all the right reasons, but what I think
everybody forgets about is how damn good he was in Requiem for a Dream
as an actor.
And, when we were trying to figure out who would be the right element
to make this combination work of Duke as the leader and Ripcord as the
best friend who sorta gets Duke in trouble all the time and Duke has to
bail him out all the time and have fun with him, we needed a guy who's
gonna be funny and we needed a guy who was going to be a good actor.
And we went to Marlon and said, "We'd love to talk to you." And he's a
gigantic GI Joe fan and immediately asked, "is Cobra in it, is Destro
in it?" I mean before he even got to read the script he was so much fun
to talk to because he understood what it was. So he got it immediately,
and when we did the test, you know, we all looked at each other and the
studio and there isn't one person who didn't think it was a no-brainer.
So, from our point of view, he's playing a military character who's got
some real good quips but he's got to be good, he's got to be physical,
and I mean Marlon is a strapping guy, he's got good size to him. So, I
think the fans will feel, when they see him, that he is playing the
solider that they anticipate anyone from the G.I. Joe group to be.
When asked how the search for the actor to play Destro is going, Lorenzo said things are getting close.
"Within the next two weeks, I will comfortably tell you that. We don't
have a guy chosen, we have the list down to about 4 or 5. All of them
are of the English, Irish, Scottish persuasion shall we say."
He also confirmed that Hawk should be cast within the next two weeks and that Zartan will also appear in the movie.
On a Transformers Movie 2 note, Lorenzo was wasked about the script and here is what he had to say.
"We're nowhere because of the strike, we won't know until we come back.
We have a very fine outline and we know exactly where we want go with
the movie but until this writers strike comes back, we'll find out
exactly where we are. Michael is completely on top of every detail.
He's designed a lot of great stuff already. He's got a lot of great
sequences imagined but you know, he needs some writers to work with
before he's ready to go, so I would say June 2nd is an unofficial
start, it's the target date we'd like to go for but, you know, we've
got to get some writers to help us."

It's been confirmed that Paramount Pictures, alongside Hasbro, are set to release a live action GI-Joe movie (scheduled for 2009) with the director Stephen Summers (The Mummy, Van Helsing) and Producer Lorenzo Di Bonaventura (Transformers).
A full press release was sent out 2 hours ago with the following information:
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) -
Call it "G.I. Go."
Paramount Pictures finally has mobilized "G.I. Joe," hiring the
director of the "Mummy" movies to shoot a live-action film
based on the popular Hasbro military action figures.
"G.I. Joe" had long been in development at Paramount,
though it gained traction thanks in part to "Transformers," the
hit summer movie based on another Hasbro toy line.
While G.I. Joe toys have been around for decades, the movie
will be based on the toy line launched in the 1980s, which also
was tied to a Saturday morning cartoon and comic book series.
Director Stephen Sommers' take was inspired by a trip to
Hasbro's headquarters in Rhode Island, where he learned in
depth about the world of G.I. Joe. Sommers then met with
Paramount brass, who sparked to his ideas. The studio is eyeing
a summer 2009 release.
The film will see soldiers from all branches of the
military fighting a terrorist group called Cobra, led by the
Cobra Commander and featuring such villains as the Baroness,
metal-faced arms dealer Destro, master of disguise Zartan and
biker gang Dreadnoks.
On the good guys' side were heroes such as the mute ninja
Snake Eyes and the fetching heroine Scarlett, who were led by a
Joe named Duke.
The full name of the '80s toy line was G.I. Joe: A Real
American Hero, but in a reflection of the global nature of
tentpoles and current geopolitical climate, the Yankee nature
of the strike force is being dropped, with the team now having
an international flavor.
