Following yesterday's NEWS that saw Arcee, how shall we say, depart, Line Producer Ian Bryce has dropped in to update the fans on progress of the move.

 

Some interesting titbits here, including news about the design team and special effects studio:

 

Hello all.... lots of design and location scouting going on at present....exploring locations all over U.S. (and elsewhere)....many states offer filming rebates/incentives....checking all out....many cool designs already....Bay very excited....

 

Pressed for a few more details we discovered:

 

Design team includes Jeff Mann (Terminator 3) and many great illustrators who have worked on many big studio films.....also have full location staff and starting set designs.....ILM (Lucas' visual effects house) also working with us on elements of the robot designs.....things moving forward.....working on budget.....hiring will accelerate in January....aiming for summer filming.....may film one sequence early (April)....

 

So, we can add Mr. Mann to the list of crew, make note that preporoduction is well underway, set a date for filming to begin, confirm Bay, assume that ILM are going to be behind the special effects and breathe in relief that production is storming along.

 

Whoohoo!

Sweet!  I'm actually really starting to get pumped for the flick now!

I hope they substitute Armada Sideswipe just to piss all you fembot haters off :P

I wonder if that guy from T3 is the one who designed the Terminatrix skeleton. That was a cool design.

I hope they substitute Armada Sideswipe just to piss all you fembot haters off :P

They should film the entire thing in the New Zealand countryside.

i kind of think that the first movie is a little too soon to introduce fembots.
