Nolan prefers more realistic approaches to things, even if they go into Science Fiction. Nolan will not be using Box-Formers....

 

Nolan wouldn't touch this property with a barge pole!

He'd view it too cynically, as a toy franchise.

 

People should stop asking for Nolan

 

+1

The nolan hype is starting to get really annoying.

 

As much as I like Christpher Nolan's movies, it wouldn't be the same so I would still prefer Bay and if not him than Spielberg.

 

Christopher Nolan will never, ever touch Transformers. The sooner fans can understand this the better.

 

BTW, Nolan isnt right for transformers anyways. Its not his kind of film. Also, he is overrated.

Batman Begins was a really really weak film, in every regard.

 

90% of fans and critics disagree with you, but go on thinking that.

 

And because as we all know, the mass is always in the right.

 

Seems to be what Bay fans want me to think.

Fans AND critics. Not just fans. What are your Batman credentials? I've got hundreds of Batman comics. I love the character. Batman Begins is a fantastic Batman film. I know Batman.

What are your credentials as far as acting and filmmaking go? My degree is in performance art. I'm a paid theatre actor in PA. My actual job. Batman Begins had an incredible cast of actors. I know acting.

Just my two cents. I know the score. Not trying to sound like a jerk, either, it's just I really want to know what people can find weak about a film like that. I'd just like the argument backed up.

 

As people said, I don't think Nolan is the right guy for this franchise [and he wouldn't even think in accepting a toy-franchise].

I think our best shot would be someone like Gore Verbinsky, the POTC dude of awesomeness.

 

Would love it, but it won't happen. Nolan might actually make a smart film which would be a big no-no for Hasbro and sections of the fandom: According to them we need as many tasteless jokes and mindless explosions as possible, with product placement, and US military propaganda galore. Otherwise the general public "might not get it", even though you know "they got" movies like The Dark Knight and Iron Man, but that doesn't matter MOAR BAYNESS!! 

 

I think people are forgetting that Transformers are supposed to be kid's films too. They're based on toys, and a huge market of the film is younger children. Nolan and Goyer's stuff is far too adult to ever have kids as a major audience.

 

Nope, I actually find Christopher Nolan to be over hyped. TDk and Memento were good, but I didn't care for his other movies.

I'd rather have the likes of Neil Blomkamp or Matthew Vaughn or even Jon Favreau.

 

Christopher Nolan is overrated. There, I said it.

 

Christopher Nolan would not touch Transformers with a 50ft pole, nor should he. Transformers does not now, nor will it EVER, need the "dark" treatment.

David S. Goyer as screenwriter on the other hand, maybe. Or Shane Black, or Robert Mark Kamen. They are the kind of people who write action scenes well, and Goyer is particularly good at adapting source material.

 

He speaks ze truth!

 

While I've really enjoyed Christopher Nolan's films like other people I'm not sure that he's really the best fit for a Transformers film. I don't think that well written, directed, acted, and filled with character means that a film has to go dark.

In an ideal world I'd like a director who sees the Transformers as actual characters in the film and thus they should be developed just as much as the human cast. Someone who could find an art director who could make robots that would look good on screen but robots that weren't so expensive that could not be used very much. And the biggest thing is a director who is great at making screen bad guys.

As long as we don't get Micheal Bay again, Uwe Boll, Rob Cohen, or directors like them I'll hold out some hope for future Transformers films. A lot of young talented directors out there with some great ideas so I don't think you have to have someone like Peter Jackson or Steven Spielberg to get a movie with some larger than life characters.

 

He doesent dislike 3d... He actually tried to use it with inception. They actually tried parts of it in 3d, but ultimately kept it 2d. His exact words were that he liked it for films that lent theirselves to it... He said in the batman movies the story didn't call for 3d. So no he does not hate 3d..

Another thing.. I'm baffled by people who follow an alien civil war and being against death being involved... In war their is death.. Period!! People die in the batman franchise. If you have a transformers movie with them shooting at each other for two hours with no death, that would do nothing for your story.

For having a successful franchise all I see here is negativity and outright nitpicking ... It's not wrong to discuss, and share your viewpoint, as it's valued and adds to the forum... But overkill, is overkill..

 

Did you say smart film and iron man in the same sentence ??? And tasteless jokes?? While I will agree that in revenge of the fallen, there were inappropriate moments.. But the central figure in ironman is a alcoholic who frequents strip clubs... Not to mention part 2 where that alcoholic gets drunk and uses the bathroom in his suit!!! The ironman franchise is not smart or tastefully done.. I will give you tdk, but ironman.. No!!
