Transformers Gets a New Release Date and a New TV Spot

Posted by Neil Miller (neil@filmschoolrejects.com) on June 1, 2007

There is no better news that could have come out of the Paramount Camp this week than the fact that we would get to see huge, badass robots transform on the silver screen. And of course, that is what we got! It appears that Michael Bay’s Transformers will hit theaters on July 3 instead of July 4, giving us one more day to bask in the glory of robots blowing sh*t up!

This of course, comes after Michael Bay said the studio was having none of an early release on his blog:

“The studio kind of sort of is thinking about which might mean “no”. If you spread the word on the Net - everywhere - they might listen,” wrote Bay. “The 3rd everyone is off from work, I say ‘what the f**k’ play the movie - ‘give’em giant f**king robots early’!!!”

Now it appears that Bay and fans have won this battle. It is just another in a long line of date changes for late summer blockbusters. Danny Boyle’s Sunshine and Ben Garant’s Balls of Fury were both pushed way back to the end of the summer. Even Disney scored extra booty with 8 p.m. screenings of Pirates 3. On top of all that, we just got word yesterday that WB is moving License to Wed up to July 3 and Harry Potter up to Wednesday July 11. Anything to get a head start on the weekend, eh?

But enough about Harry Potter and Pirates, let’s get a load of more Transformers action! Take a peek at the latest TV Spot below:
