    Well that sucks, speacially if he still has stunts left to do even something as insignificant as falling or bumping into something could cause him an injury.

    Did anyone else read to the end of the article where it says
    The second unit is still filming, so -something's- still going on. I don't understand the worries that this'll delay the entire film to any kind of ruinous degree.

    Well, I'm sure Bay will still make his release date. You know how he is. Nothing will stop him. A comet could strike the Earth and wipe out half the human race and he'd still make his date. Hell, he'd film it! :lol

    Why? Because someone else ran a red light and bumped into Shia's car?

    I think this does a pretty good job of putting the situation into perspective. Especially on an action film an injured hand really limits how you can film scenes. With a built-in hiatus that never really materialized, there's probably a good enough buffer that they can afford to take a few weeks off first unit filming to wait for Shia to be healthy enough to film his scenes without too much trouble.

    About 95% of the regular moviegoing audience that is not part of the diehard Transformers fandom?

    Valid point, but I think 95% may be a bit high. I'm sure there's a large number of the population who, while not diehard TF fans, will be dropping their $ on another TF film to see more explosions and robots then the Beef/humans. People can see humans in any film, but TF has TF.

    Certainly out of people I know that aren't part of the TF fandom their main reason for seeing the first film was in fact to see the Bots, not Shia run or Anthony Anderson eat a plate of donuts.

    So, basically they are filming "around the injury" which Bay already told us he was gonna do, so filming hasn't stopped for four weeks?

    Really reaching there for a news story.

    Well if it doesn't delay the film then fine, if it does then I say they fire Shia or ask him to drive off a cliff so we can move on with the movie.

    It's a valid News story. B unit is not filming any of the core matereal. So since the main unit has stopped, The main part of filming has stopped. the big players involved with the main unit are not working. No cast is filmed in the B unit.

    I don't see the release date not being the problem, the thing you have to be just a little concerned about is it going to have a rushed feeling when it's done. Even if they had to trade release dates with another film it would be better to take a little more time and have a really good film than rush out a not so good film.

    Enough editing problems last time with things like Barricade just sort of dropping out of the film or confusion about the tank's name so it would be nice if they have time to catch things like that on the second go round.
