Lee Hyo-Wan has wrriten a full report of the Transformers Asia Junket which took place two days ago in Seoul over at the Korean Times website. You can read the article here or below
By Lee Hyo-won
Staff Reporter
Director Michael Bay and rising star Megan Fox sizzled up Monday
night's Asia junket for their mega-action robot film "Transformers,''
held at N Seoul Tower. The film's character model Bumblebee, revealing
its looming yellow 5.2-meter, 3.7-ton figure for the first time, also
heated up the show.
"Korea is a huge emerging world market (in cinema),'' the award-winning
director told journalists that gathered from all over the world for the
event. He was also "very happy'' the world premier for his movie would
take place here on June 28 (opens July 4 in the United States).
It is the first time a major Hollywood film held its opening press
event in Korea. Artist Choe So-ri inaugurated the program with a
stunning drum performance using fire and water, symbolizing the film's
dueling evil Decepticons and good Autobots, respectively.
Based on a popular American comic book and TV series of the same title,
"Transformers'' is about alien robot races battling on Earth to locate
their long lost energy source, to which a teenager named Sam (Shia
LaBoeuf) obliviously holds the key. With the help of Mikaela (Megan
Fox), Sam and others join forces to save the planet.
During the press talk, Bay, 42, exerted much confidence about his film
and its extensive appeal to both fans and non-fans, international and
domestic.
"I grew up a non-`Transformers' fan'' he said, "so when Steven
Spielberg called me a year and a half ago to direct this movie, I
thought ah, it'd be a silly toy movie, (I'm) not really interested, but
since then I became a gigantic `Transformers' fan.'' Bay says his
favorite character is Optimus Prime, the "really cool'' leader of the
human-friendly Autobots.
The director explained that the film "has a kind of a universal appeal
and it brings out the kid in you,'' and that "it's definitely something
new and different you haven't seen this summer, and by using really
groundbreaking visual effects,'' the film "appeals to a lot of
different age ranges.''
Bay continued, "I like to do ideas that are big ideas that really
travel around the world,'' yet this film "was challenging because it
was a cartoon. My job was to make it real and bring it to life
on-screen.'' He said it was tough working with 40 artists and
developing the characters.
Bay is known for his visually stunning and star-making blockbuster
movies: Ben Affleck and Owen Wilson rose to stardom through
"Armageddon'' (1998), Nicolas Cage became a megastar with "The Rock''
(1996) and Josh Hartnett upgraded his heartthrob image with "Pearl
Harbor'' (2001).
For "Transformers,'' newcomer Megan Fox beat the
competition in nine auditions against some 600 other women from
numerous countries. Although she hadn't seen the script upon joining
the cast, she said "I knew that Michael (Bay) was directing it and I
knew that Steven (Spielberg) was producing it, and that's all an actor
needs to know to be excited to trying get involved in a project.
"I was looking for a job and ended up getting the best one,'' she said.
How? "Just look at her,'' Bay said.
The 21-year-old played a sexy and charismatic teenager on-screen, and
told reporters that Bay wanted her to be stronger and tougher. Steering
a truck at full speed with a super size robot trailing behind, the
actress does define rough with a sexy touch.
Fox magnetized camera lenses as she posed for lengthy photo ops on the
red carpet and onstage. Showing off her foxy grin and tattoos,
including the one of Marilyn Monroe's face on her right forearm, the
actress waved to the excited crowd.
Great news for worldwide "Transformers'' fans: Bay explained that the
film's finale was left slightly open-ended because there might be "
two, three, four and five and so on.
"But that all depends on you up there,'' he said to a crowd of Koreans
gathered near the venue's terrace. Someone yelled "Hell yeah!'' and Bay
smiled, "Alright, there you go.''
As for the possibility of real world robots in the near future, Bay
laughed, saying that "there definitely will be a massive alien robot
war in the future,'' in light of his own film. The alluring Ms. Fox
added that artificial intelligence and the like "scare the ****
bollocks out of
me.''
Fox pleasantly surprised the local crowd by enthusiastically stating
that "The Host'' (2006) was her "favorite film'' -- "after
`Transformers,''' Bay insisted. The actress said the monster scared her
enormously and that the fine acting in the Korean blockbuster was
impressive.
About his second visit to Korea, Bay said the country has become "very
big and crowded'' ever since his trip here with his mother 20 years
ago. For Fox, it was her first time traveling outside of the U.S., and
thought Korea seemed beautiful.
Bay and Fox continued onto Australia to promote "Transformers.'' The
film recently won the American MTV award for "Best Summer Movie You
Haven't Seen Yet.''

In an interview exclusively with Sci-Fi Wire this morning, Peter Cullen, voice of Optimus Prime in the original animated series, the live action Transformers Movie and Transformers The Game, gave praise to Michael Bay as well as confirming that he recorded three times as much dialog as Optimus Prime will have in the final cut. Here are some quotes.
"Michael Bay is a character unto himself, and he was a cast all
himself,"
When going on to speak about Michael Bay, "He could play all the roles when we
were recording this together."
"Unlike the animated series, when we were all in a room together
recording together, for this movie it was just Michael and [me], and it
was rather fun," Cullen said. "He knew all about the characters and had
a great knowledge of them all. There were only a few times when he
would ask, 'Would Optimus say this?' But that was just at the
beginning. He was very well-versed in the world of the Transformers."
"Michael Bay and I never conflicted in the interpretation of the
character, nothing at that level. I was comfortable with everything he
suggested."
