Ever had a doubt that director Michael Bay is a genius? New live action movie Transformers: The Last Knight cast member Anthony Hopkins thinks so! In a recent interview with Yahoo News, the actor behind Sir Edmund Burton - a historian of sorts in the movie - compares Bay to Oliver Stone and Steven Spielberg, talks about him chatting about getting the right look and design for Cybertronians, and praises the brilliance of 'savants' like the explosive director.

Watch the interview embedded below, and join the conversation in the Energon Pub!

“I thought, ‘This guy’s a genius, he really is,‘” Hopkins told Yahoo Movies (watch above) last week at CinemaCon about his impression of Bay after meeting the director over breakfast to discuss the project. “He’s the same ilk as Oliver Stone and [Steven] Spielberg and [Martin] Scorsese. Brilliance. Savants, really, they are. He’s a savant.”

In Last Knight, Hopkins, 79, stars opposite the returning Mark Wahlberg as Sir Edmund Burton, an astronomer and historian who lives with Autobots on a sprawling British countryside estate.

Bay isn't a genius.

His last 3 non-Transformer films have all flopped!

People just happen to love giant Transformering Robots more than they hate Bay. But due to Paramount's current downward spiral financially that may change as soon as this Summer.

I look forward in seeing Anthony Hopkins in Thor 3 (Ragnarok) but that's where it stops this year.

Dude I know you got this weird obsession and hate boner with these movies and Bay that makes you so compelled to take a dump on us and other people who like these movies like we are wrong or something and such but when you have to make up false facts to try to stir the bee hive here it kinda starts to get ridiculous.

Just because one money made less then the last one doesn't mean it's a flop if it was we would absolutely not be at movie 5 and people like Hopkins and Peter Cullen himself would not praise Bay since there are people who also have hated on him such as Hugo who is kind of a sour person.

Maybe you should take a break or actually try to be thoughtful in your posts because maybe more people would like you and I don't mean that as an insult I mean that as genuine advice.

Anyways there are people who do like Bay he is a cool guy and he is an animal person as well as he donates to charities.

Edit: I just misread your post I thought you said that his last three transformers movies flopped I did not realize that you meant NON transformer movies.

It's called opinions some people actually do not hate Bay.

He does make visually stunning movies though even if you don't like explosions there are other visuals that are great and I'm not talking about CGI since Bay is very good with practical effects.

I respect him as a director. Are the movies great? Uh... aheh... by no means. But, tbf, that is partially the writers' faults. And I'm not big on Bay's pandering via "cheesecake". But he puts his heart into his work and he doesn't seem (afaik) like an asshole. His movies, while lacking in story (hopefully not for long...) and characters, are pretty and fun to watch. If you disagree, that's your opinion and I respect you for that. Just plz respectful to those that don't have the same views?

Are the movies great? Well no their not the best thing since sliced bread that I know but they are entertaining which is the most important part of a movie to me and I guess a lot of people too because why would some people enjoy watching bad cheap movies otherwise?

I don't think I or my family have as much fun in the theater as we do with Transformers actually I brought them with me to go to the Imax fan event last week and they enjoyed what they saw it helps that my Mum is a big fan of knights too.

Luckily we are starting to get less of some of the worse bits of the movies like the cheesecake stuff.


I respect opinions most of the time but when people are like

Whether he's a genius or not is subjective. I mean I think some of you are total ****, (and I'm sure the feeling is mutual, probably more so after you read the rest of this post) but that doesn't make it fact.

What we have in this instance is a veteran actor, a man who has worked in the movie industry for decades with various Directors sharing his opinion on Bay and his directing style.

Now for those who want to tear down Bay, tell me something. What makes you an expert?

Have YOU worked for multiple directors? Have YOU seen Bay at work? Have YOU come up with new ways to shoot? Have YOU helped develop new digital cameras to create visuals that haven't been done before?

No?

Because Bay has.

And that's why Hopkins has said what he said. He's worked with Bay and what he does to achieve the end result.

So you don't like the movies? Well good on you. Just because YOU don't like them doesn't mean they're bad. And blaming Bay? You are aware that there's more than one person involved in making these movies yeah?

Honestly, it's time some of you got the fuck over this Bay hating thing. It's pathetic.

The people who have hated him for these 10 years now for not catering to them are not going to change sadly because most people stick with their opinions whether good or bad.

I see people arguing with those such as Young Prime on the other Transformers fan websites and they just keep on going because of their point of views things is ts alright not to like someone's work and depending on why the person themselves but it will never be alright to start hating and tearing apart someone's different opinion because of it.

Unless it's something actually morally wrong like someone thinks murdering puppies is a good thing then you can question thier opinions. and their sanity too.

Correction....

"Pain and gain" may have ranged somewhere between breaking even and turning a small profit (courtesy of The Rock). The other 2 most recent Non-TF films directed by Bay within the last 12 years (13 Hours and The Island) have both Flopped...DO THE MATH! That track record is not the making of a "genius Director". Even as a producer that last Turtle sequel under-performed.

Again...No issue with Anthony Hopkins, loved is most of his previous work. Bay's crap is where it stops.

What else is playing that weekend...?

13 Hours actually turned a profit, so not sure (Budget $50,000,000 (estimate), Gross Takings US alone - $52,853,219 + Worldwide - $69,411,370). So maybe YOU do the maths.

-edit-

Now I do have the giggles.

Pain & Gain
Budget - $26,000,000 (estimated)
Gross - $49,874,933 (USA) + $86,175,291 (worldwide)
Opening weekend - $20,244,505 (USA)

So not only did Pain & Gain make a "small" profit, it nearly made its money back on the opening weekend. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
As for The Island, every director has a bomb. Clearly he's bounced back from it though.

So keep stretching there to justify your hate for Bay. It gives me giggles.

No disrespect "Mr Admin" but it doesn't sound like you know how Hollywood studio's turn a profit!

Marketing/Advertising isn't part of a films budget but you still have to factor that in which could range anywhere from half to the same amount as the budget to make the film. Plus Hollywood doesn't get the full box office back WW. Domestically they'd be lucky to get 55% the other 45% goes to theaters and oversea's they'd be lucky to get a 3rd of the box office (only 25% in China according to reports) there after "expenses". Google it!

In fact you can start by reading here: http://io9.gizmodo.com/5747305/how-much ... profitable

While put a bit rudely; it is true that when you're part of a movie, any interview will generally have you praising it no matter what - sometimes to ridiculous extents. This is why I tend to stay away from these sort of interviews for anything; it's impossible to tell if the actor is honestly giving their actual honest opinion or if they're just trying to big up the movie because working on it is kind of their job.

Case in point; only after he left the movies and his contract was over did Hugo Weaving say his role as Megatron in Transformers (do we have a name for this besides just 'transformers'? Honestly curious), ROTF and DOTM felt unfulfilling.

It's just what happens. I'm not gonna criticise Hopkins here or anything - honestly that'd be dickish either way - this is just standard procedure for any modern movie. Tells us nothing. Now if his contract ends and he still says Bay's a genius? THAT will be interesting and I'll be all ears...

Your link didn't want to work for me "Mr YoungPrime". It insisted on redirecting to Gizmodo Australia.

But I stand corrected regardless, clearly you're a expert on all things Hollywood. Perhaps you'd care to enlighten us as to how you came to have such a qualified opinion on all things Hollywood production and what makes a good or bad Director?

Or are you still trying to make your OPINION a fact?

Regardless, his financial bombs are still outweighed by his financial successes. Unless you have something to prove me wrong on that as well.

Of course the people had to be disrespectful and record it even when officials said not to right in the theater.

Also a failure on the guards but I don't blame them since you can't keep track of them all.

Was Weaving ever on set or just in a booth recording voice work after filming was all done?

I never heard anything about Hugo being on set for ROTF or DOTM not sure about movie 1 though since I was a kid then and the news websites were not as "organised" compared to now.

Then again the voice actors are pretty much never on set which is usually why we only hear about voice actors via announcements only a couple months prior to a movie coming out or sometimes early like what we heard for Peter Cullen and John Goodman for this movie.

Only exception to this is Mark Ryan where he is on set sometimes to double as some characters on set for the actors to react to while filming the scenes, in the end most of these voices are dubbed over by a character's proper voice actor in the movie for example he did this a few times during DOTM filming despite the fact he doesn't voice anyone in the movie.

yeah I wasn't sure if Weaving just said it perhaps because he may just prefer actually acting on set rather than doing voices?

Yeah, he wasn't particularly involved. If you're interested here's the full snippet from his interview. For full context it was about his upcoming role in The Hobbit and they figured they'd ask for a bit about his other movies (including a few Marvel ones) so there's not a lot on it.

Collider: As the voice of Megatron, has Michael Bay called about the next Transformers movie yet?

WEAVING: No. That’s a weird job for me because it honestly was a two-hour voice job, initially. I was doing a play and I actually didn’t have time, anyway. It was one of the only things I’ve ever done where I had no knowledge of it, I didn’t care about it, I didn’t think about it. They wanted me to do it. In one way, I regret that bit. I don’t regret doing it, but I very rarely do something if it’s meaningless. It was meaningless to me, honestly. I don’t mean that in any nasty way. I did it. It was a two-hour voice job, while I was doing other things. Of course, it’s a massive film that’s made masses of money. I just happened to be the voice of one of the iconic villainous characters. But, my link to that and to Michael Bay is so minimal. I have never met him. I was never on set. I’ve seen his face on Skype. I know nothing about him, really. I just went in and did it. I never read the script. I just have my lines, and I don’t know what they mean. That sounds absolutely pathetic! I’ve never done anything like that, in my life. It’s hard to say any more about it than that, really.


Though if you want someone who was actually on the set - for three movies, no less - LaBeouf has... much less flattering things to say about the experience if you look it up. And then there was that whole thing with Megan Fox...

Anyhow, the point of me bringing up Hugo Weaving was to illustrate the point that people working on a movie will only ever say negative things about said movie after their contract ends - before then it's all glittering, sparkling praise about how the movie is the most amazing thing ever and how they love everyone else on set and how nothing like this has ever been done before in the history of Cinema. Especially before the movie's actually released. So I don't really trust interviews like this because they almost always contain hyperbole and bias - if you want to know an actor's real opinion on the movie they're working on, wait a couple years 'till they're free from the studio's strings.

Nothing against the Transformers movies in particular here; this is just how the modern film industry is. Notice you don't get anything like Orson Welles' rather scathing lines about his role as Unicron in the 1986 movie anymore.

In two recent interviews, a US Weekly interview with Josh Duhamel, and a HeyUGuys interview with Laura Haddock, a previously unknown subplot of The Last Knight has been revealed: Haddock will be playing Vivian Wembley, an Oxford University professor and Mark Wahlberg's love interest in the film. In Duhamel's interview, he discusses filming one of the film's stunts:

We’re doing this big scene where we’re all about to jump for our lives from this thing, and we’re strapped tandem-style with parachutes. Mark is attached to Laura Haddock — his love interest in the movie — and then there’s me and Santiago Cabrera attached to each other, and I’m tandem-ing him down because he’s injured,” the actor explains. “Wahlberg comes up just before we start — before [Michael] Bay says, ‘Action’ — he goes, ‘Hey, are you guys tandem-ing together?’ I go, ‘Yeah.’ He goes, ‘Oh, so it’s like a love story.’ I was like, ‘Son of a *****. You get the girl [and] you’re making fun of me and Santiago over here because we’re tandem-ing.

In Haddock's interview, she discusses her experiences on set, as well as her opinion on Michael Bay's directing.

The attractive middle age woman is going to be a love interest for the similarly aged, single, male protagonist?
That's the biggest surprise ever.
Oh wait, that is the most obvious movie cliché there in terms of character relationships.
Honestly I don't mind the romance as long as it isn't too dramatic and tries to take control of the story from the more important parts, i.e S4 Arrow: Olicity.
Honestly I'm more interested in the adult's relationship with Izabella and of course, the whole transformers stuff that should be at the forefront of the film.

Like repeated offensives would lead to not being able to post in the movie forum?

Right which is why I don't bother with the report button because sometimes I'm not sure if the post while say harsh like saying things about another person is breaking the rules.

I couldn't remember any rules to safe my life nor much of anything for that matter.

What's to remember? If you think it could be against the rules, go and read them.

Things. This is the most recent version, seems to have improved on stuff (hadn't checked previous release) and the news story now has images and links to both major sources for the application to be downloaded.




Anyone else feel like questioning my mo this evening?

Just going to post this here but a lot of the "lore" section is blantly not possible therefore not canon.

Sentinel did not die on Cybertron cause you know Dotm.

App doesn't mention much from Rotf and ignores everything from Dotm that and most of the stuff seems to be copy and paste from the aligned continuity which is the least aligned continuity in our franchise.

"When all seems lost, a few brave souls can save everything we’ve ever known."



Synopsis: "The Last Knight shatters the core myths of the Transformers franchise, and redefines what it means to be a hero. Humans and Transformers are at war, Optimus Prime is gone. The key to saving our future lies buried in the secrets of the past, in the hidden history of Transformers on Earth. Saving our world falls upon the shoulders of an unlikely alliance: Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg); Bumblebee; an English Lord (Sir Anthony Hopkins); and an Oxford Professor (Laura Haddock).

There comes a moment in everyone’s life when we are called upon to make a difference. In Transformers: The Last Knight, the hunted will become heroes. Heroes will become villains. Only one world will survive: theirs, or ours."

Guess we can now more confidently consider that thing to be Cybertron itself and not Unicron or any other planet.

Dammit, after the shitshow of AoE, I was sure I wouldn't see this. But I gotta admit, this looks promising in the extreme.

Gotta admit - and I know everyone said this during the trailers for AOE - this does look a bit better and less stale than the other movies and does seem to have some better action. I'll look forward to it a bit more when it eventually comes on Netflix.
