Transformers 2: NEW Linkin Park Song & Score
Nelson here…
From Mike Shinoda’s blog… [ Read more ]:
Although I wasn’t at liberty to say it before, the song I’ve been referencing here on mikeshinoda.com in the past few weeks…is actually being done for Michael Bay’s new Transformers film, due out June 24th.
In addition-and probably ever cooler-we have been offered the unique opportunity to help score the film. The song we wrote is being used as one of the themes, and we will be writing various interpolations on that theme, and trying out some other thematic ideas as part of the (very large) team scoring the film.

Revenge of the Fallen tidbits
Nelson here…
Back in the day when Michael directed Armageddon and Pearl Harbor, there were books that accompanied the released of both films. “Visions of Armageddon” and “Pearl Harbor: The Movie and the Moment… [ Read more ].” I got the special hardcover edition of “Visions of Armageddon” which was shipped in a velvet-like slipcase. They are numbered, autographed by Bay & Bruckheimer and only 200 were printed.
So it was this in mind that I asked Michael the other day if he was planning on doing something similar.
Showest Footage
The Showest footage was pulled down because it was just a 12-hour thing.
I just wanted the fans to get a taste of what we have been making for a year and a half because we have been so quiet. The piece was cut about a month ago for this Showest thing I accepted this past month - so as you can see many of the shots were far from being finished renders. This dinky little site received over 1,500,000 hits and 550,000 downloads in this short time.… [ Read more ]

Transformers 2: post production
Nelson here…
For those interested in the post production aspect of movie-making, here is a cool behind the scenes for the ACE (American Cinema Editors) blog.
Every new movie or television production goes through the process of deciding about what technology to employ. Long ago it was a simple as “KEM, Moviola, or Steenbeck.” Now of course it is a lot more complicated. And every show is breaking new ground in some fashion.
Case in point: Transformers 2 (Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen).… [ Read more ]
60 Days - Revenge
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.… [ Read more ]

Michael Bay accepts award at Showest
“… Few have enjoyed the success of director of the year Michael Bay, who helms this summer’s Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Bay came to accept the award for director of the year, but was looking forward to giving theaters something back: advice.
“Let’s be honest,” he says. “Some of the theaters still suck. And we’re working on movies two or three years. These exhibitors are the most important people in the industry. All of the magic happens in the two hours people are sitting in the theater.… [ Read more ]
