Very nice. Now what do we do?

wade2501 · 09-27-2007, 11:59 AM

Cool.

General_Tekno · 09-27-2007, 12:01 PM

Somebody needs to write a tell-all book that details exactly how involved everyone was.

I mean, everything I read suggests that everyone was closely involved and that they were micromanaging the project. Since that's kinda hard to actually have, I want to know who had a say in what, and who pushed for what.

KneonT · 09-27-2007, 12:04 PM

That's... soon. Even with the strike?

Wow.

Nice. Now to go ponder a new countdown thread...

KneonT · 09-27-2007, 12:26 PM

Now I gotta wonder if the "experiment" will continue into production on the sequel, or if the TPTB have had enough of us nerds and our opinions.

oh man if we would have the other way around Bay prducing and Spielberg directing this could be something unique

Curiosity Inc. · 09-27-2007, 03:02 PM

So, the release date's been reported by Variety and Don is quoting them on his board. Can't get much more official than that.

But it is kind of hard to decide where to go from here. I guess the first course of action is to start demanding more information. What the premise will be, who's writing the script, when the script will be due, will the bot's be redesigned, if so how, etc.

We have a director, a release date, a few producers and a few actors, but that's it. We need more. Far more.

Do what they should have done from the start: Gather a few big names (Ben Yee, Simon Furman, etc.), let them be our representatives and accidentally leak stuff (like, say, Arcee and Clooney) when they need the whole fanbase.

Let the speculation on what writers will be brought on board and which characters will be featured begin!

They shouldn't do that. I don't need "celebrity fans" to tell them what I would want. Ben Yee did some good things, but his opinions aren't any more wise or valid than the next guy. I much prefer this way where we all shout and they can listen or ignore if they want.

I think it's time to raid Michael Bay's harddrive for any early scripts.

There is no script yet...not even a treatment.

If I worked for the Encyclopedia Britannica as an editor or author then I'd put it front and center on my resume. I'd tell prospective clients and customers. I'd tell my family about it. I'd tell my former teachers. I'd put it on my weblog under my real name. I'd do this knowing that EB would stand right behind me to check and validate my scholarship against allcomers. What is it about Wikipedia that causes the exact opposite psychological response? Because editing and adminning Wikipedia is nothing to be proud of, because Wikipedia is an affront to education, to scholarship and to the Enlightenment that spawned the notions of universal education from which the encyclopedic nostrum began. Because to be associated with Wikipedia is not to be associated with some high moral principle but the very opposite - of the promotion of venality, political power games, historical revisionism, moral and intellectual cowardice and the promotion of the notion that a confluence of the opinions of ignoramuses constitutes an eventual path to Truth. ---JohnA, Wikipedia Review
