Robots in Disguise.
Leonidas:
It's been confirmed that a live-action movie version of The Transformers has been in the works for a while now.
Now it seems we have a firm release date (for the US) on 07/04/07.
Details can be found here: http://www.transformerland.com/transformers-the-movie.html
The live-action “Transformers” movie has been set to open nationwide on 07-04-07, it was jointly announced today by DreamWorks Pictures, Hasbro, Inc. (NYSE: HAS), and Paramount Pictures.
The feature, based on the globally popular Transformers franchise, will be directed by Michael Bay (upcoming “The Island,” “Armageddon”) from a screenplay being written by Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci (upcoming “The Island”). Steven Spielberg (“War of the Worlds”) is executive producing the film, with Lorenzo di Bonaventura (upcoming “Four Brothers”), Tom DeSanto (“X-Men” and “X2: X-Men United”) and Don Murphy (“The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen”) serving as co-executive producers.
In making the announcement, DreamWorks head of distribution Jim Tharp stated, “Under the direction of Michael Bay, and with Steven Spielberg executive producing, we know that ‘Transformers’ is going to be the kind of explosive action movie that is perfect for the height of the summer movie season. By staking our claim on the 4th of July, 2007, we ensure that we not only have the time to make this movie the way it should be made, but also to build excitement and awareness leading up to its release.”
Also, here's some test footage from ILM of a robot who looks suspiciously like Sidwinder to me.

I have to say that this is one movie concept that does really excite me. I was a huge Transformers fan as a kid, and I was also a fan of the more recent G1 comics by Dreamwave untill the company went and made themselves bust.
Anyone else a fan, and excitied by this prospect?
Leonidas:
I've since found out that the test footage is actually fake, but still, is no-one else excited by this film?
:(
zoidbergslo:
i never watched transformers so my answer is no
Kai:
If you've never watched Transformers than you have not LIVED.
I'm just curious; Is this going to take place after the original movie, or is it ignoring the original movie altogether? Because, you know, I want my Optimus.
Gryff:
Yeah, but Rodimus was just as cool, right?
…
*snigger*
