It looks like lord Bay will be blessing us with giant robot Imax violence. We get the following scoop from the professionals at Variety via IESB:
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is set to have at least three action setpieces shot in IMAX! Variety had the news today. The trade has an article on the effect the IMAX shots in the summer’s biggest film, The Dark Knight, has had on other upcoming blockbuster movies.
Here’s the exact quote, Michael Bay will film at least three action setpieces using Imax cameras for “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,” which is lensing.
As much as there was to dislike about the first Transformers film, they were able to create some pretty outstanding CGI action with the robots. The highway fight scene was very cool, and a testament to the visual effects today. It’s this sort of scene that screams to be part of the IMAX experience, and I’m glad that the sequel plans to do just that.
No word yet on how many IMAX minutes will be in the film, but we’ll be sure to look for further details, and shoot you the information as soon as it becomes available.
