Michael Bay Signs Up for "2012"

Ha! So basically a nerdy version of Jet Li's "The One." Everyone get ready for slow motion shots of doves flying, in space!

Doves with space helmets.....firing two handguns at the same time in faux matrix action scenes. Bay doesn't dissapoint.

[b]Do your homework![/b]
Doves are John Woo's trademark, not Michael Bay's.... BONEHEAD!!!

Do your homework, then post comments on a website, guys!

"based on an upcoming novel"

So wait... we're talking about a movie based on a book that hasn't come out yet?

Does this seem back asswards to anyone else?

LEEEROOOOOAAAAHHHH MMMYYAAAANKEEEUUUNNNNSSSS

[i]2001. The Lost World. Hannibal Rising[/i]. It's nothing new.

I agree - the fact that the movie is being based on a book that hasn't even been written yet is unbelievable, and frankly scares me. That is almost as scary as the prospect of another Bay movie (especially without Spielberg guidance).

Almost.

well it really doesn't matter if it's bay or woo, anyways it kinda sounds pretty cool, doves with helmets in slo-mo with firing guns flying through space.

maybe combine woo and bay and you can do a big exploding car chase in slo-mo with doves with helmets driving the trucks and and some kungfu/serial killer is shooting bullits from the driving trucks. this sounds like a lot of fun.

Michael Bay had great success with his last science-fiction adventure. Get off his case.

[b]Great success?[/b]
Great COMMERCIAL success. The guy doesn't really have a lot of skill - he just throws in trucks of money to get special effects, then adds a stupid love story, and he thinks he's the new Spielberg. I hate Michael Bay, and I hate his big, stupid, commercial movies. He's a damn good example on how to waste millions of dollars from the budget.

I was joking, you cunts:-DD. I was referring to The Island:-))

What, you mean "the Island?" Are you being sarcastic when you call that a "great success?"

Correct, baccus83:-)

I don't get the Michael Bay bashing. Seriously, people who go to the movies just go to be entertained, they're not searching for masterpieces that will become turning points in their lives. Michael Bay is good at making people forget that they're alive for two hours. So he strictly makes popcorn movies, so what? Lay off him.

Eddie Murphy and the Wayans Bros. are the real evil.

Finally someone with some common sense. The Bay bashing is ridiculous, his movies are fantastic. They're not meant to win awards or provide groundbreaking stories. They're funny and fun-filled action flicks that actually make you feel like you got your money's worth when it's all over.

Well it's not like I expect to use my brain when I go see a Bay film. But at the same time I always end up feeling dumber once the end credits start rolling.

michael? is that you? shouldn't you be doing post on transformers instead of visiting rotten tomatoes?

Fernando Scoczynski Filho

I feel like I get my money's worth when I see an amazing movie, not some popcorn flick that gives me a headache because the dumbass director can't use the same angle for more than 4 seconds on a chase scene (see The Island's flying bike scene for reference).

Nevermind... I need to read slower

Andy Grant

Did you even read the story? It has nothing to do with that series.

I think the plot sounds dumb, regardless of director.

Ben Tomassetti

ooo boy can't wait for the over the top trailer with no dialogue.

Mar 19 - 12:19 PM

Angela Brannan

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! this man should be stopped now. i mean right now. all his movies are stupid. i think my IQ lowered after seeing them. they are that bad.

Mar 19 - 06:05 PM

Robby Robertson

Based on a pre-order summary of an upcoming novel by Whitley Streiber.

[b]Some real fact about 2012[/b]
If you want some backround on the concept of the Mayan calendar that is the basis of Micheal Bay's new "2012" movie then you can check out:

http://www.aventurasclub.com/mayandoomsday.en.html

It explains a little about the whole doomsday theory.

Its pretty cool actually.

Wait...a M. Bay movie based on "fact"? OOOhhh, scary....

[b]Waste of a movie title[/b]
There is no way I would go and see this flick. It would be a disgrace for one to even name the film 2012 and not even try to continue the storyline in the other two films. Real SCI-FI fans will stay away in droves and people will just rent it for a popcorn move on DVD when it is released.

[b]wasnt 2012 a rush album?[/b]
this sounds like it could MAYBE be an interesting plot if it wasnt ass backwards. Too bad they got that sell out shit head Micheal Bay to direct. The guy has made a living off the formula: some up and coming hot actor-talent+explosions+a gajillion dollars/credibility. Hes a talentless hack and shouldnt be encouraged. People who are Bay apologists are people who dont mind the endless stream of shit that pours from hollywood as long as some big ultra expensive third prequel kernel of corn is it in every now and then. And to say you feel like you got your money's worth afterwards? do you know the guy were talking about here? cuz personally the first thing i felt after walking out of pearl harbor sure as shit wasnt that i got my moneys worth....
