Give Michael Bay and Shia LaBeouf credit to step up and admit his blunders of cinema. Both types have been owned up to the fact that 2009 is "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen", although fish more than $ 830 million in worldwide box office, not up to the aspirations of their popcorn corn.
"The second, who had a hard go," he said Bay in February about the making of the film following the writers strike. "It was something very, very difficult to make a movie under those circumstances. It affected a lot of Hollywood at that time."
The key issue was the film was rushed to production without all the creative pieces in full operation, the filmmakers had a big budget, but not exactly the clearest idea of the story they were trying to say. In this sense, LaBeouf told MTV News recently in Moscow, the film became the Bay of "Apocalypse Now", the notoriously difficult, Francis Ford Coppola-directed Vietnam war movie.
"[In] the second movie where we had our hiccups, there were good things, but there are more bad things," said LaBeouf, passing the reference document on the "Apocalypse" of production. "Before coming here, I've seen" Hearts of Darkness. "And in it, you have Francis Ford Coppola says to camera:" I have a lot of money, I have no script, and I'll shoot myself in the head. ""
LaBeouf was to make clear that I was not comparing their Tentpole summer for the classic war movie, only "the enigma", as he said, to carry out an expansion project in less-than-arranged circumstances. "[It was] very similar in terms of Coppola and Mike on the set," he continued. "And the madness of the second film."
The production of "Transformers: Dark of the Moon," the third film in the franchise, which hits theaters on Wednesday, could not have been more different than the second. "This was the first time I had a script completely sussed out, with a strong through line and the best argument and bow [LaBeouf's character] Sam has had," said the actor. "And it is simple in places that we want and not complicated. I think the second film has a complicated action, complicated, where you can not enjoy it. I do not know who the elbow which, or whose face is to get impaled. You do not know who the enemy is, you do not know who the hero.'re missing. [Bay] simplified all their actions, so you can enjoy it and simplification of the film, greatly benefited from it ".
The result, as we said LaBeouf at the MTV Movie Awards, is what he sees as the best installment of the franchise. But that does not mean that you will return for a fourth go-round. Reiterating that convey a feeling at the MTV Movie Awards earlier this month, "Dark of the Moon" will be his final "Transformers" movie.
I learned a lot from Michael as a person and actor. As a person in his sets, you learn a lot," he said. "Not that I do not like working with Michael. I love working with Michael. That would make any movie Michael wants to do. I do not think there's anywhere to take Sam.
