Bay To Throw Fanboys Off Real ''Transformers 2'' Scent
By bwbm on Saturday, November 10, 2007
Yeah, we know "Transformers" Director Michael Bay had a hard time during his production time with "Transformers," some even going as far as to threaten his life.
This time around, though, Mr. Bay is clamping down on all the script and plot-leaking troubles from the first movie, reports Rotten Tomatoes. At least the real ones, anyway. "One thing I do know is I know how to screw them up more," says Mr. Bay, "[w]e're going to leak a lot of false information all over the place."
So here's Mr. Bay's warning for people who think they are sitting on something hot. "They're going to get a lot of script treatments that they think are going to be the script. They will never see the script. We've got scripts and treatments written up that we're going to leak. No one's going to know."
Mr. Bay says that there is one floating around right now and he hints that "[t]here are going to be many others."
Thanks to "bob" for the tip.

This tickles me. If i were in Bays position, id probably have a bit of fun with the fanboys myself. It also means the final product will be a bit more of a surprise, which im all up for.

Tanker full of dynami-is like RAWW! GRAWW! Purrraaaggg (explosion sound)
General: Those aren’t idea’s, there special effects
Bay: …… I don’t understand the difference
General: I know you don’t GET HIM OUT OF HERE!

Is he an idiot? Perhaps he forgot about the internet, and the unwritten rule that "If it exists, someone will find a way to leak it on the internet."

1/ Any publicity is good publicity.
2/ Fan-boys, regardless of their intent or abilities to impede movie production (none of which I doubt are actually a threat...its just good PR for Bhey) are good for word of mouth advertising.
3/ Bhey is notorious for saying silly things. Watch how he speaks to his production team (that clip where he's speaking to his CG company folks sums him up pretty well), watch how he rashly reacted the blue-ray dvd issue, etc. He's immature.
4/ Clamping down on a movie could actually stem the flow of attention. By releasing too many red herrings in the world, Bhey might actually cry wolf.
5/ Ergo, this announcement is simply publicity. Just ignore it and go back to business of seeing spoilers and the usual leaks as usual folks.

This is what I expect will happen: Bay will release a series of scripts and treatments, and whatever one the fanboys like the least or least expect to be the real one, he will go with that one.
Oh, Michael Bay.

Fans help the movie and show their interest. Trying to throw people off and even give false hints is just plain moronic. Transformers the movie would have been a success without him with any decent director. I wonder if it would have been more of a hit if there was more people in place associated with the movie that wanted to draw fans in.
