Michael Bay is jerking us around …

So, we all know about the Transformers sequel, but how much do we really know? We’ve seen what may seem to some quite a bit of information leaked from insiders about Transformers 2, which leapt almost immediately from the first movie’s box office domination to a very quickly completed script and lots of “rumors” about details, incuding which new Decepticons will be seen and who’ll be cast. Well, apparently none of its true … we think? Michael Bay has publicly denied all of it on his website:

“Sorry everyone, everything you are reading (other then we are shooting in Philly) is false,† says Bay on his website. “We are going to give so much disinformation on this film to confuse everyone.† [source: slashfilm.com]

What the heck? I understand keeping tight lips on production, but what’s with the outright lying … if that’s the “actual” truth? Bay already has plenty of critics, does he really want to encourage more negativity? Anyway, I realize this is a photo from the first movie’s production, but I find it funny that he’s standing in front of a big green construction tractor.
