Yeah, so that’s a pretty cheesy title for this entry - but hey, it sounds like it would come from movie promotions, right-right?

Anyways, let’s talk about this movie, which is the latest from director Michael Bay (The Rock, Armageddon). I saw the trailer some weeks ago and recently saw it again (the website launched yesterday) and I have to say, I’m getting pretty curious how it will turn out. Overall, I believe there’s a lot of potential in this movie. One of them being the fact that Bay is taking a bold new step in his film career. Here’s a breakdown.. It will be Bay’s first film NOT produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. Of all of Bay’s films, it is the one with the least amount of hype and early promotion, which says a lot, especially in this summer’s huge movie season. With Bay, is a new player in Hollywood screenwriting world, Alex Kurtzman. Kurtzman has had a good run on television series, and is now working up some big Hollywood projects (The Legend of Zorro, Mission Impossible 3, Tell No One). On top of that, this film - if it gets praise and does well (it’s sure to make some sort of bank) - it would be a good sign for the upcoming and long-delayed, Transformers movie, now said to be in the hands of Bay and Kurtzman.
