More Movie Tidbits From Don Murphy

Don Murphy has been rather active on his Transformers forum over the last couple of days, dropping several hints about the upcoming Transformers movie. Here's some quotes from the man himself:

"I want to point out again- if ALL we wanted were robots smasking shit we would be doing this all CGI or mo cap or 2D.
This is going to be an event LIVE ACTION film in which HUMANS are a significant component."


"There will be several human characters.
And several Autobots.
And several Decepticons.

Thus only a FEW of each will get screen time to be fully developed.
They all could appear, but like Wolverine, only a few will be prominent."


In response to a question on Don's previous comment of there being 7 core characters:

"7 is still in play, but again, number 7 might have minmal emphasis- think Iceman in part 1"


In response to a question regarding whether the Transformers are from Cybertron or not:

"They come from Cybertron
They are not man made
They are here because we have the matrix (probably can't call it that anymore)"


"Of course you can always make it (the movie) about just the TFs- just not in a live actions summer event film."


In response to a comment regarding the possibility of film that features only Transformers, and how they interact with one another, discuss, plot, dream etc:

"Well for clarity you are NOT going to get a CG animated film in which the TFS do all that. Or rather, I believe Paramount is releasing a direct to video film of that very thing."
