The Blu-ray Blog had it right on the money when we wrote that the Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen Blu-ray would feature shifting aspect ratios to accommodate the larger IMAX footage, much as last year’s The Dark Knight disc had. What we didn’t know is that the amazing Charles de Lauzirika, “Ridley Scott‘s DVD guy” as Bay refers to him, will be responsible for the disc. Oh boy. Now that’s something to get excited about.
Cole Haddon at Film.com got the interview:
- Cole Haddon: Rumor has it the IMAX version has more footage than the regular version. Is that true?
Michael Bay: Actually, the IMAX version, with film time if you want to talk, is 2 hours and 20 minutes exactly. It has, I think, probably about a minute more of footage. It’s got some more fighting footage that took place in the forest, some additional stuff with Devastator. I haven’t [even] seen it in IMAX [myself yet]. I’m excited to see that. It wasn’t ready until this weekend.
CH: Any plans yet for the DVD and Blu-ray?
MB: This one will be done by Ridley Scott’s DVD guy, who’s great, so we’re going to have a lot of stuff on this.
CH: How do you go about incorporating the IMAX footage into those?
MB: We’re going to do a special IMAX skew where it’ll open up for those scenes. You can see top to bottom.
I like these transformers.
Sounds yummy!!!
sounds cool. I just hope for “T3″ we get to go too Cybertron and see it in it’s day. it should be at lease 30 mins of the next film, it would make a cool first half hour to open the third film IMHO.
