Don Murphy has updated his website and speaks about the following topics.

• Studio screened first cut, very excited.
• Welker not cast, not sure if he will be.
• Won’t be at ShoWest
• Mad about someone seeming to take credit for something
• Shia is a great guy!  High five him!
• New trailer at beginning of the summer season. 

— ITEM!- TRANSFORMERS- The cut screened for the studio last week. I am up in the rain so I missed it. The studio is excited. This blockbuster continues to show just HOW big it will be. You will believe a robot from space can kick ass. Here are the answers to all the questions I get on this one-
———- No decision from Michael about Welker yet. Honestly I don’t know how that is going to turn out. I know that I am on the record as wanting Frank. I know that the fans have made it clear that it must be Frank. I don’t think it would be ludicrous to have him. But it is Michael’s call.
———- No I won’t be with Skorponok at the Vegas ShowWest. It will be fun to hear about what a great idea he thought Transfomers was since he wasn’t involved with it from the beginning. I don’t know if anyone noticed a previous interview I did, but let’s repeat it- EVERY studio passed on this movie. EVERY STUDIO. Only after that happened did all of a sudden interest reappear. The only people who KNEW this was going to be huge were Tom Desanto and that guy with the goofy picture above. Believe it as you hear about history being rewritten. Or ask Skorpy about it yourself. In the meantime Shia will be there too. He is a GREAT GREAT guy. Hi Five him for me if you are there.
———–Yes there will be another trailer with more details. Probably at the start of the summer season. But you can watch the one we have a few more times if you want to. It is still on line.
