We have with us the look at an upcoming Human Character from the 3rd Transformers Movie thanks to an exclusive interview by moviemikes.com.
Hardcore Eddie; we all know him as someone who’s rumored to bring an end to a certain Cybertronian we all know and love in Transformers 3.
If you want to know exactly who this Hardcore Eddie is, all you have to do is to read on. “Tell us about your role in the upcoming “Transformers 3″?
Lester Speight : I am not sure if you know but “Transformers 3″ has just eclipsed “Titanic” as the largest budgeted film ever. $400 million and still going north! We are totally taking over downtown Chicago. The city is buzzing and it is crazy around here.

if a human destroys starscream in the TF3 movie then that'll be the worse thing ever.
a awesome & powerful decepticon like starscream deserves a warriors death. by warriors death i mean starscream getting destroyed my megatron or a powerful autobot like Movie Ironhide.
i'd envision the ultimate starscream death in TF3 . Would involve a 5 minute all out hand to hand combat with firing weapons between ironhide & starscream. with both characters dying after the fight is over. perhaps with movie megatron standing over starscream & yanking his spark out & calling him a weakling cry baby.

I really don't like this "Hardcore Eddie" Character in general, but I do enjoy Terry Tate works of acting. I really do hope Starscream does a lot of damage before getting the ……
Cause in the other two movies he just shoots and flies away lol
Or it could be since "Hardcore Eddie" is a veteran maybe he met Starscream once, and they are rivals.

Bay took a pay cut on the first movie in order to shoot in the US and be able to use his crew, instead of shooting in Vancouver or Australia.

He has potential, but is a moron for even mentioning $400M. Lets just hope his character is not a dumb ass.
Cosbydaf
Yeah, who cares if the movie is any good or not, pissing off them damn fanboys is what's really important!
Deadend
Has potential, but let's hope with all the chaos going on, we see some actual teamwork and downtime with the autobots instead of them just laying around in alt modes.

Wow. This is gonna be fun. :

I'm just not sure a monster budget is the best of plans. Lots of movie articles this year about how movie attendance was down this year to the worst levels in over a decade. The big 4th of July release The Last Airbender didn't place in the 10 earners and action in general wasn't doing too hot this year since the top three earning films were Alice In Wonderland, Toy Story 3, and Shrek Forever After.
Unless the current trend changes for some reason next year it could be harder to earn the big bucks for a third time. Just looks like in an age when value is the gold standard Hollywood missed the boat by increasing prices with 3D so people are saying heck I'll just stay home and watch TV. With increasing improvement in TV special effects it's starting to look like the place to turn for story telling.

I don't care what happens in the movie. As long as it makes fanboys cry, I'll revel in its deliciousness.
Bumblethumper
Maybe so, but who says he's going to do that this time around.
By the way I don't begrudge him taking a decent-sized share of the profits from a movie he created. He certainly played his part in making them financially successful.

Didn't Bay take a salary cut in order to fund more robot screentime in the first movie though?
Cryptwire
O.O
with that budget, it will have to do Avatar numbers to be a massive hit. to break even, TF2 numbers.
boy i sure hope they know what theyre doing.
Chopperface
I'm gonna take a wild guess and say Hardcore Eddie will get have as much screentime as Epps and Lennox always have. Though he probably will be more comic relief than the two. With his character, it's more and more believable he'll be able to kill the Cybertronian.
And $400 million?!?! Holy shit.

Another one? When was the last time we had a new human killing the air commander & second in command of the decepticons?

Its Terry Freakin Tate, quite possibly the greatest personality to emerge in entertainment in years. If he's given a Terry Tate-like persona on screen, I will gladly cede some 'bot action for Mr. Tate.
Bring on the pain train!

It means this. A bit of a silly internet meme called up where ever there is a high quantity of something.
Yes, I am a sad, sad little man.

I would never blame cameramen for taking too big a slice of the pie. That's about one of the most replaceable jobs on a production. But I'm sure Bay himself, as well as central characters like Shia will pocket a hefty wad of cash for their troubles.
I don't doubt it at all. In an uncertain world, Transformers is about as close to a sure thing as they come. Studios seem increasingly reliant on megabudget 'tentpole' movies. And knowing how Michael Bay rolls, a good portion of the budget is probably already part-financed by numerous product placements and endorsements.
