The car bloggers at Jalopnik have come through again with some CG partial stills of Megatron and Bumblebee, as well as a full body shot of Optimus Prime. Since these images are potential spoilers, we’ll save those for after the jump.

ShootForTheEdit.com, Michael Bay’s site, has an update on the next trailer:

I spoke to Mike about a week ago, and as you can imagine he’s busy editing the movie.

He indicated that the trailer was basically done (minus a little CGI work) and that if all goes according to plan, the trailer should be out by the weekend of the 22nd of December.

Ok, now how about those CG renders….

From the Shaun Of The Dead team, here’s “Hot Fuzz” and looks to be about as funny as SoTD was. Watch the embedded video below, or check out a larger quicktime version.

David Fincher, director of Fight Club and Seven, has a new movie about the investiagtion of the Zodiac serial killer, starring Robert Downey Jr, Mark Ruffalo and Jake Gyllenballs. Watch the trailer at Zodiacmovie.com

Those who’ve been following the Ultimate Avenger direct-to-DVD movies will want to see the trailer for The Invicible Iron Man.

Also, I found some trailer for a movie about some kid who does magic or something. I don’t know, someone might this think this is cool… http://www.harrypotterorderofthephoenix.com/

Fox 2000 who had the rights and intentions of producing a new movie for the Masters of the Universe franchise have bowed out and handed all rights back to Mattel.

From the article:

Executive Producer Rodney Ferrell (“Flicka”), of Fox2000 pics, tells Moviehole that they’ve just literally just wiped their hands clean of the property.

“This was a project set up at Fox”, begins Ferrell, “but in the recent months we gave the project back to Mattel and are no longer involved”.

USAToday is running a story on the vehicle of choice of the Fantastic Four from the upcoming movie, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.

The Fantasticar apparently went through several designs before they were all thrown out. The inspiration for the final design was drawn from ocean dwelling manta ray, giving a more sleek and friendly appearance than the previous designs had offered.

Dave Cockrum, probably best known for his stint on Uncanny X-Men, passed away last week.

While he has not worked on comics in recent years, his work is well known throughout the industry.

I first saw the news posted here. For more information go to that link.

Thanks to TFormers, we’ve got a very detailed look at a design sheet drawing for Ratchet in the Transformers 2007 movie.

Ratchet from the original Transformers series was the Autobot’s chief medical officer, and transformed into an ambulance. While he might’ve been the obvious choice to peg as the pacifist, he frequently found himself in the heat of some of the most memorable battles in Transformers fiction, including being trapped on the Ark with Megatron, Starscream, Shockwave, and Galvatron from the future.

In the 2007 Transformer movie from director Michael Bay, Ratchet is loaded up as a modified Humvee built for search and resuce. This makes him one of the larger Autobots on the team. His robot mode has been surprisingly unseen in the rash of leaked design sheets, but now we have a sneak peek…

It’s been a while since I had a Dreamcast title here, so here goes one. This game is also available on PC, and there is an enhanced version on PS2. In late 2001, Sega’s final attempt at console success was on it’s last legs. As a result, and also due to publisher fears of not being able to turn a decent profit, several high profile games had seen only Japanese and European releases (such as Capcom vs SNK 2 and Shenmue 2) while others were simply cancelled altogether. Among the latter was the Dreamcast version of Half Life. However, another game would arrive to alleviate the pain of what had happened: Soldier of Fortune.
