Michael Bay In Empire Magazine Talks TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON

MichaelBay.com has posted this first look at the cover of Empire Magazine‘s latest issue. In it he talks about the upcoming summer blockbuster TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON.

“Ridley Scott once said, ‘Michael Bay and I have always been shooting in 3D.’ What he meant by that is that I always put background, mid-ground, foreground in all my shots.”

This time around, Bay decided to bring the third dimension in with style, bringing in James Cameron’s tech and team to take the shape-changing robots up a gear:

“Cameron was like, ‘Mike, directors like you have to do 3D or it is going to die.’ I love it when you see these things: ‘The 3D event of the year!’ You see it every movie. There was a recent movie where you go in and before it starts they put up a little plate: ‘These scenes were not shot in 3D.’ Are you kidding? I think our 3D works really well with the robots, the size, the girth, the weight of it… it’s spectacular.”

Here’s another look at the trailer from December.

And the Super Bowl spot:

Synopsis:
