Speilberg Calls New Transformers Film ‘Awesome’
April 19th, 2009
Director Michael Bay has shown Steven Speilberg a cut of the highly anticipated Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, which the legendary film producer called “awesome”. Read about Speilberg’s reaction and watch some exclusive footage of the flick after the jump.
The new flick, starring Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox, is in post production ahead of it’s May 24 release, with Bay writing about the private screening on his official website:
“Steven Spielberg sat next to me in a big 100 person theater at Sony today. There were 98 empty seats. The lights came up after we just watched my cut of Revenge of the Fallen. He turned to me and said “It’s awesome”. He felt this movie was better than the first – and probably my best, who knows – at this point in a movie you start to lose your objectivity. I just hope the fans like it. I’m going to start putting it in front of audiences in a few weeks – no you are not invited, yet.
We have 60 days left. Let me tell you it will be a race to finish. It’s 12 at night and we are still working here in the edit room. Everyone at ILM and DD are killing themselves right now, they are doing a stellar job on the effects. We also just finished our trailer which is coming out with Wolverine. Talk to you soon.
Michael”
Bay has also posted a montage of scenes from the new Transformers, which was recently previewed at ShoWest 2009 and can be watched here.

Steven Spielberg is the executive producer of this film, do you think he’d say “It’s shit”? Lol, he’s forced to say nothing but positive things about it.
