What The ?!?!

The great icon of the 80s, The Transformers, are getting the live action movie treatment with producer Steven Spielberg and director Michael Bay. Recently, the official site was put up, www.transformerslive.com. Visiting this site, you can watch a movie of Spielberg talking about how happy he is to be working on the movie and has been buying Transformers for himself.

What The ?!?! Steven Spielberg a Transformers collector? This seems even less believable than that Tom Cruise romance thing. Notice he doesn't mention a single character's name, but manages to plug in Hasbro once or twice. I just don't see Spielberg as a crazed Transfan. Maybe it's his monotone voice that makes it less believable or the fact that he's Hollywood's most respected director not Hollywood's most gifted liar. But at least he made the effort of convicing fans that the Transformers were in good hands.

Expected in the live action movie are all the characters expected in a Transformers movie: Optimus Prime, Megatron, Bumblebee, Starscream, Soundwave, Arcee, Jazz, and Tom Cruise. (Just kidding.) The movie has a 2007 release date.
