SCI FI PI

Dark Horizons has taken rather a dim view at Michael Bay's active disinformation tactics that the director himself revealed in the forums of www.shootfortheedit.com, the official Michael Bay website.

The 'awesome' director has said, that basically everything that you read about Transformers 2 on the internet is a lie.

Here's the good stuff from Dark Horizons:

" "Transformers 2" director Michael Bay claims that, short of news that filming is taking place in Philadelphia, everything else that has hit the Net about the upcoming "Transformers" sequel is BS.

He says on his official site that "Sorry everyone, everything you are reading (other then we are shooting in Philly) is false. We are going to give so much disinformation on this film to confuse everyone."

Secrecy on a project is understandably important, and the respectable way to do it is simply keep quiet - denial or even no response is often the most effective way. Outright misinformation propaganda however is another thing.

As a movie website editor, that kind of deceitful approach sadly leaves me only one choice - practically no coverage whatsoever of the film short of the confirmed publicity materials. "

Whether Bay will come out and say he made his post up and has, in fact, no control over the disinformation and rumours that spread on the internet, remains to be seen.

As does Transformers 2, out June 2009.
