Here We Go Again!! TRANSFORMERS 2 Churns Into Motion!!

Merrick again...


This morning, Variety confirms reports that've been circulating for a few days now.

Looks like TRANSFORMERS 2 is finally in motion, with a June 26, 2009 release date being eyed. Bay is expected back; Spielberg is expected to reprise his involvement as well.

Although...

...the high-profile project isn't guaranteed total immunity from the ongoing battle of wills between DreamWorks' David Geffen and Steven Spielberg and leadership at Paramount conglom Viacom.

The studios stressed that they are targeting the June 26 date, but that it isn't ironclad.

Even if Spielberg and Geffen exit their deal at Par, as they have threatened to do, the "Transformers" property stays at the Melrose lot, as do all other DreamWorks projects.

...says THIS ARTICLE in Variety.

I've heard rumors there'll be no flames on Optimus this time, which kinda sucks. I mean...what'll we do for a catch phrase?

I'm dying to see TRANSFORMERS IN IMAX; my local IMAX won't be screening it (goddamnit!!!) so it's a drive for me to behold Bayness in seven story glory.
