After broken his peace earlier today on his board, Don Murphy, one of the producers of the Transformers movie, slated for a 2006 release, has opened a new thread and has given even more details about the progress at the moment.

"Zemeckis is in no way involved- Harry Knowles hasn't seen the truth (or his feet) in a very long time.

We are staying focused on the original mythology.

We are working to get permissions for REAL vehicles so that Bumblebee turns into a VW for example.

Steven is COMPLETELY behind staying true to the mythology- no supersoakers.

Hasbro has exerted a ton of pressure so that the film happens QUICKLY.

Your voice is being heard."

Don Murphy no longer holds his peace!

Don Murphy, head of Angry Films, the producers of the upcoming Transformers movie has broken his silence, and has spoken out on his board at his site www.donmurphy.net.
In his posts the man makes some statements about the movie.

"No script, no voice actors, plot confidential, just trying to get things done on time"

"Megatron is NOT gonna be a gun
That was lame anyway"

"one giant robot doesn't turn into the gun for another
nor does a giant robot turn into a tape deck

We MAY have Soundwave- but we'd keep him proportional and make him a cd player or something.

Think REALITY

If Megatron is a tank, then when he transforms it is to scale."

Yesterday, DrudgeReport.com posted a link to an article with the heading: "DREAMWORKS plans $650 million animation spin-off ...". The link went to an article on Netscape.com, which was removed shortly after Matt Drudge posted the link. However, the link still remains on the site. Does this title refer to the upcoming Dreamworks / Spielberg Transformers movie? Could Transformers be the $650 million animation spin-off?

What an exciting time to be a Transformers fan gang - it's only going to get hotter from here.

UPDATE FROM SEIBERTRON:

After talking with a few co-workers, I found out what this link on DrudgeReport.com was supposed to go to ... and now that I think about it, $650 million is an awful lot for a movie. But you know me, I'm always an optimist!

So here's what this "rumor" is really about, and it's not really Transformers related, other than the fact that the new Transformers movie will most likely be a part of Dreamwork's new "spinoff" Animation studio. You can read more about this spinoff here.
