Shia Labeouf claims that the movie will run about two and a half hours long. Giving justification to the length, he adds that "[y]ou can't just have robots fighting for no reason. You've got to explain it." Mr. Labeouf also revealed that there will be twenty (20) set pieces while chatting briefly with entertainment news site Dark Horizons about the "Transformers" movie during his promotion rounds for his newest movie "Disturbia."

"[Director Michael Bay]'s going to give you a lot," says the actor who will portray Sam in the movie. "You've got 20 set pieces. You look at Spider-Man and it had five big action sequences -- five set pieces. We have 20, and you've got to get storyline in, you've got to get the narrative in -- so a lot of explanation."
