Empire recently caught up with Shia LaBeouf, star of Transformers and the upcoming Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and they got to chatting about Transformers 2 of which Shia has already seen the story and a bit of pre-vis.
LaBeouf says, “I know of a few things I have to work on for the next one. I’ve seen pre-vizes of the action scenes and I just saw Michael yesterday. It’s going to be bad-ass. We’re not making another one unless it is, and Mike is definitely not resting on his laurels — he’s doing insane shit again. And the pre-vizes that I’ve seen… it’s just massive. If the first one was any indicator of how massive massive can be, this is going to blow that out of the water. It’s insane. Mike’s mind was just kind of made for this — it’s amazing. There’s going to be a lot more characterisation with the robots, which I’m excited about. I was a fan of Transformers before the movie came out. And there’s going to be a lot of action…That goes unsaid, I guess.”
So, let’s see… Is it going to be massive, and just how massive can massive be? These are definitely things to ponder.
Shia wasn’t opening up about any more of the movies since his contract stipulates that he will be thrown on the rack if he does. Word has it Michael Bay already owns the rights to his first born child for something he said prior to the release of the first Transformers. Hollywood is a rough place man.
