Transformers 3: A Day in the Life of an Extra

here's a snippet of the report, catch the rest at seibertron.com

 

thats pretty friggen awsome!! lol what a lucky guy!!
i just have the best feelign about these chicago scenese being what we as fans have wanted forever a huge epic massive battle between the decepticons and autbots that just blows everything outta the water from the first two films.

thanks for the post

 

" I hadn’t seen them when the shot began, but about halfway along the section where we were running, there were 4 kids, about 10-12 years old, huddled on the ground against the wall in mock terror. We all just ran past them- shameful! They were great, they looked very scared but after the shot they were all thumbs up and smiles. Not so a pair of little girls in a different area of the shoot, one of whom started crying, then the other one as she tried to comfort her. They were led away and a couple others took their place. I felt so bad for them, I don’t think there were any parents on the set, but I hope maybe they were way off on the far end or something. "

nice  

 

sounds like you had a great time..and maybe you'll even be on film..and a part of TF history..cool  

 

Interesting...

 

i posted this, though from TFormers, in the Chevelle thread in the news area.

 

i wish it was me! but alas, i'm just another forum reader.

sorry, didn't mean to burst your bubble or take ur mojo  
is your reporting on this site? can you link? maybe mod can merge threads.

also, Dr, i saw you did report the chevelle being on set but i wanted to share the extra's personal on set experience. did yah post that as well?

 

Interesting, "Invading Aliens"....

 

As long as he doesn't tell major plotpoints he should be safe.

Last thing you want to do is get blacklisted...like the one guy who was an extra in Indy 4 and gave away specific plotpoints while the film was still in post-production.

 

Sweet... I like the sound of this "refugee" thing going on. It reminds me of War of the Worlds, kinda... I'd be cool to see that on a Transformers scale.

 

Makes me think the decepticons take over a good portion of America.

 

hey guys....the main movie lot is set near my house where a lot of vehicles are stores. here's another trailer i saw...HMM...?

 

yeah, i'm thinking the decepticons take over something. Maybe they just take over chicago. It looks like the autobots are trying to fight their way in with the nascars leading the way. And sam and nest are trying to get in the city as well. Might explain the paratroopers. It seems like the damgage and destruction is too extensive to have just occured in a battle. I think the human "refugees" are being driven out the city. I love the speculation lol
