Surprise, Surprise! Earlier this week, The Hollywood Reporter reported that the June 26th ,2009 release date for the highly anticipated sequel, ‘Transformers 2’ will probably be pushed back. However, Michael Bay may have suggested otherwise on his personal website.
Slashfilm gives us these details:
Director Michael Bay posted a New Years greeting on his website, adding that “Transformers 2 will be coming soon.” I’m not sure if that is a confirmation, denial or something entirely unrelated. Bay also adds a little of his patented hype: “The new robots are really really unique and there are a lot of them this time.”
I hate to say this, but it looks like the writer’s strike may be responsible for this delay. I know there are a lot of fans out there really excited about seeing this film in 2009, but it looks like they might have to wait a year. In my opinion, I don’t think this will hurt the franchise by waiting one more year. Look at the ‘Spider-Man’ franchise for instance. It made large money with 3 year intervals in between sequels.
So you ‘Transformers’ fans out there, it looks like you’re going to have to be even more patient. Don’t worry, the sequel should be well worth the wait.
