Hahaha, A co-worker told me about this today. They're actually shooting across from where I work today. Went over during lunch and saw him working on the set. He seems to be doing just fine. His face seems tired but normal. Watched him did a take with a stunt dummy before we went back to work.
Totally respect him as a director and enjoyed most of his work.

if you see me in a fight with a bear, don't help me fool, help the bear!
it's not being total tools, but gangs in Asia.. especially China and Japan are entrenched in the culture and even the politics..

shit like this don't happen in Miami
(but it should)
(but it should)
The level of passive racism in the second Transformers and also The Phantom Menace is really quite shocking. I didn't notice it in Phantom Menace when I first saw it, as I was a kid. But now in retrospect, it's baffling. I sure as hell noticed it when I saw Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. I'm surprised I watched the whole thing. Though in my defence, I was in bed sick.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Can just imagine the face on other more discerning triads reading this news.
"Oh, well this was a good racket we had going here. Now some fresh pups have gone and attacked one of the most famous people in the entire world. Excellent."

I guess i touched a nerve.
Seriously. These two guys probably cost the triad millions in future earnings.

I doubt it will be a good day for the two who did this but the higher ups should not even feel the heat from this.
Being attacked by thugs is a pretty big deal.
Transformers 4 is a Chinese co-production to qualify for special box office privileges in China. They held a reality TV show to cast Chinese extras and there will be some Chinese cast members. They aren't going to move production.
He's not talentless because Armageddon exists.

Transformers 3 was the biggest piece of shit.
How can you possible beat a finishing scene that ends with.
Burning American flag.
Slow mo bridge walk.
Lens flare hot chick.
Slow mo parents running.
Slow mo robot walk.
Sunset.
I nearly vomited at the end of that film it was so bad.
How did they get approved for a 4th.

Make shit, get hit
This depresses me even more than the success of Bay's Transformers films.Now go and look financial status of the Resident Evil movie franchise.
Still, sucks that this happened all the same.
He was busy... He's in Hong Kong, he's having the time of his life (like he was 16 years old all over again).

Well Hong Kong is not part of that deal, that finance deal is for Mainland China and its box office, which HK is not a part of. In practice HK is entirely seperate from China in this and many regards. The government are tools of Beijing though.

I expect a lot of racist Asian humor. Maybe a Chinese autobot with a small penis or something.

Seems like that Chinese co-production is working out well.

His security detail should be fired.
Shooting in HK fulfills the requirement that there is a production/shooting element in China.

For some reason, i see Michael Bay getting revenge, Roy mustang style. Snapping his fingers, shit blowing up.

Junior, please.
And his face was all like BWWAAAAAAH!
Then that agreement must have mentioned stuff like "China and Hong Kong" or similar wording.

Why wasn't this the first reply?

Exclusive pic of Bay retaliating in that scuffle:
lol
Those are the kind of agreements I taIked about. I know about CEPA (I'm from HK), but that's only for HK-China co-productions as it states no?
