Bay Rejects Transformers 2?

Number 1 sucked.Number two will probley be crappy as the first one.

Y CAN'T THINGS JUST STAY IN SIMPLE FORMATS FER A WHILE LONGER JUST LONG ENOUGH FOR PEOPLE TO CATCH UP WITH THIS BLUE RAY HD STUFF, IF U ASK ME IT ALL HIT WAY TOO FAST, THE PS3S HAVNT EVEN BEEN OUT THAT LONG AN WE JUST GOT OUT OF A FORMAT ERA(VHS) AN INTO ANOTHER(DVD) AS FAR AS THE NEW STUFF(HD/BLUE-RAY) SLOW DOWN A BIT LET PEOPLE CATCH THE BLAZE UP!!!

hd and blu ray piss me off, i have a dvd player and thats it, thats all i need, if i ever buy a bluray dvd or a hddvd and it doesnt work in my dvd player i will sue the company(s) who made it since it does say DVD on it.

this is not the first time movie studios have done things like this. for anyone who remembers the Beta players that came out and were competition to the VHS players (thats VCRs to all you young people out there) one of the major movie companies who also had financial interest in the VHS said they would not put thier movies on Beta. it killed Beta. its too bad too Beta was a far supior product over the VHS I think paramount is trying to kill the blueray like the Beta. I personally have not used a Blueray but I do like the HD DVD. well I hope M Bay starts something and we can keep both formats.

woooooooooooooooo blu rayall the way!!!!!!!
(probabbly onlu sayin that cos i have a ps3 and it plays em hahah) haha micheal bay is one sulky director
!

This is a bit hard to argue about! it would cost the companies involved way too much money to produce the films in both formats. they need completely different production facilities for both formats.
I have not yet seen a film availible on both formats! the plus side to hd dvd is tht the players will play old dvds so ppl are more likely to go for that option plus it is cheaper than blueray! Its a hard one, but I do think 1 format will eventually have to succeed and one will have to fall! I don't want to miss out on some of my favourite films but it is the way it is for now!

The news that Decepitcon24 is bullshit i just been to Bay's official site and he says transformers 2 is on

"As a director, I'm all about people seeing films in the best quality possible, and I saw and heard firsthand people upset about a corporate decision.

So today I saw 300 on HD-DVD, it rocks!

So I think I might be back on to do Transformers 2!"

um, i highly doubt that he would reject the next movie because of this

ACTUALLY I AGREE I THINK IT SHOULD BE ON ALL FORMATS THAT WAY EVERYONE INCLUDING NON-HD/BLU-RAY OWNERS CAN ENJOY IT!!!

I REALLY THINK BY PULLIN OUT ID A GOOD THING CAUSE HEA WASN'T GOINT TO MAKE A SEQUAL HE WAS GOING TO MAKE A PREQUEL.......NO ONE WANTS TO GO BACK WHEN THE WAR STARTED I WANNA SEE NEW TRANSFORMERS IN THE LATER SERIES BAY WASN'T GOIN TO DO THAT THOUGH.............GOOD RIDDENCE!!!

He's an idiot..let's just hope someone else makes it, then.

Wow, first off, theres no difference's in a Blu-Ray or HD-DVD's. I own a HD player, and i have a friend that owns a Blu-Ray player. I think M.Bay shouldn't worrie about what Paramount or DreamWorks has planed. There's gonna be all formats put out, Blu-Ray might be a couple of months behind. M.Bay should do the movie's for the people, not on DVD fomats. If M.Bay is worried about that, then he should buy everyone a HD player or a Blu-Ray player, plus the Transformer disks, so every one can enjoy it!

This just goes to show that the studios are only interested in -ONE- thing. And that's money. Limiting the release of a blockbuster such as this film is completely ridiculous. Anyone who owns a PS3 or Blu-Ray player has to be up in arms over this. I own a PS3 and have been looking forward to the release of this summer's blockbusters ON Blu-Ray. I've stopped buying regular DVD's because if anyone's seen a Blu-Ray, it puts pretty much everything else to shame. I have to applaud Bay for standing up for what he believes, even if it means I don't get to enjoy a sequel to this amazing movie. It's nice to see someone not just pushed around by the industry, all because they want to think they know what's best for consumers.

And I think Bay is an idiot for even giving an idea of not making another movie.

I say they make it in both formats. They have done it for other movies.

Oh ok, nevermind, I understand this now. But still, who gives a shit? If Micheal Bay wants to be a stupid fuck and miss making another like, 50. mil, just because he has a stick up his ass about Blu-Ray, then that's his problem.

This news doesn't make sense. It says that Paramount and Dreamworks are exclusively supporting Blu-Ray, HiDef whatever, but then Bay says hes all pissed. Besides, you can't really tell the fucking difference between HiDef and regular TV or movies or whatever. What a scam!

I am usually pretty sceptical about anyone making movies of the cartoons that I used to watch as a kid. I was incredibly suprised when I saw this movie. Michael Bay did a great job on it. I don't understand why they would only release it on HD and DVD, and not blu-ray. I don't have blu-ray, but I think that everyone should have a chance to own a copy of this movie. I hope he changes his mind about Trans~2. I am looking forward to Trans~1's release and 2 to come out in theatres. Again, excellent movie. Saying well done, just doesn't begin to say it.

I love the Transformers movie. I want more!!

ooooh shit! Thats insane!

What!! You have to make a second one! It was so good, the only real bad part was the fact that it was too focused on that stupid kid and his rly hott girlfriend! Like it's called Transformers... you could've at least had more scenes about them in it, like the movie from the eighties!

TRANFORMERS WAS ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!! YOU GUYS ARE CRAZY! THE STORY THE GRAPHICS WERE BOMB!!

Wow, you people don't watch very many movies to consider Transformers & Vanilla Sky as 2 of the worst films of all time ( or the best for that matter )!

Transformers wasn't one of my favorites of the Summer, but it sure wasn't as bad as everyone seems to think. The Autobots themselves lacked a little in the personality department, but the story was decent, and the CGI was one of the best ever!

I'm pissed they're not going to release it on bluray

Ha, so much for standing up to the boss-man. Michael's latest post now says that, "I drank the Kool Aid" blah blah blah "so I think I might be back on to do Transformers 2!"

http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/michael-bay-drinks-the-kool-aid-now-support-hd-dvd/

wow dude paramount is friggin retarded blu ray is the freaking best picture quality out there that you can get if they dont switch over thats going to be wasteful because no one is going to buy the HD version

"Melty4" you wouldn't know a good movie if it punched you in the face.

God bless Michael, but does he seriously think that Paramount are going to turn down $150 million (the figure supposedly offered by the HD-DVD camp to back their format), if it's offered to them on a plate.

Worst case scenario, if Blu-Ray comprehensively quashes HD-DVD over the holiday season, they'll find some way to release their 2007 slate on the format that wins.

Bay is increasingly something of a tool, but I still love most of his movies.

part 1 was soooo bad that it had to be michael bays fault, being that he sucks so very much. lets face it transformers was and always will be the worst movie of all time, followed by donnie darko, brokeback mountain, the english patient, hannibal, vanilla sky, garden state, and kull the conqueror.
if bay is not attached at all to a sequel than i would be willing to see it. of course with bay's history of hissy fits in front of producers, he may get his way. thats what he does, he gets mad if someone says no to him. he does his little pouty face and threatens to quit whatever movie he's working on until he gets his way. don't believe me? listen to the commentary tracks for bad boys and armageddon and then try to call me a liar. michael bay is the worst director of all time, period.

don t reject it,man.

I have a PS3 and 360 with the hd dvd player, and I've NOTHING better on blu-ray. I have a 61" DLP 1080p plasma.

First off, no great loss (Bay sucks!!!). Maybe they will find someone that can make a GOOD Transformers movie. Second, Blu-ray isn't that great. Most of the movies they have out for Blu-ray aren't very good and the picture quality is barely better than a regular DVD (The Fifth Element). I'll admit Blu-ray is getting better, but not better than HDDVD.

sorry to stick to Ray, but BluRay is better than HD. That's also why it is winning in popularity (compared to HD). Perseption is all that matters!

If he acts like a brat when he doesn't get his way, I highly doubt if people will want to work with him. If he really felt bad about what happened he shouldn't have "mouth-ed off" about Paramount. What an idiot.

I WAS A FAN OF THE CARTOON AND I THO THE FILM WAS FUCKING SHIT SO THANK GOD THERE WONT BE ANOTHER !

bay out

spielberg in

Michael Bay... Stop acting like a pansy ass bitch. The only reason you're sooo pissed off is because you would make more money if Transformers was put on Blu Ray... Thats all.

Frankly I don't think there should be a Transformers 2. I loved the first one but making another could be milking the franchise and ruin what made the first awesome. It was old fans of the cartoons such as myself that went to see it and truly appreciated what they did with the franchise. Making another will kill those memories and lose the true viewing audience.

To add to my comment, that was harsh. I liked like 3 Michael Bay movies including Transformers. But I was still thinking....if only Spielberg was doing it or Sam Raimi.

Well done Mr. Bay! Paramount has made a piss-poor decision dropping the Blu-Ray format.

Way to take a stand for the poor people Mr. Bay! I know I don't have a an HD DVD player, but was really looking forward to watching it again. now what am I gonna do?!

How about a director with talent for Transformers 2 ?

well shit how aboout the smurfs then

wow.

not a good start for Transformers 2.
