GM and Chevy Show Their Trans Pride – Transformers 2 Pride
General Motors is showing off their Trans Pride and the release of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen with a special “Chevrolet’s Gay Day at the Movies.” The LGBT community meet-up in Los Angeles is sponsored by GM and looks to be one of the biggest movie moments of the summer. Or will it?
Director Michael Bay is furious at Paramount for claiming they’re not promoting his film as widely as the first feature. And to be honest, how many trailers, TV spots and bus stop posters do you see for this film? Not as many as half the plugs that are out there for this film as were for Star Trek, Terminator: Salvation and other summer action films.
According to Bay’s Email: “I’ve been locked away editing for six months, but I have been waiting and waiting for the “anticipation” of an “event movie” to make it to the “public zeitgeist.” You all talk so glowingly about “Transformers” being the movie of the summer but unfortunately this has not gotten to the public. I still run into so many people even this weekend with kids that ask “is that movie coming out this year?” Your owner Sumner went on air in wall street last week talking how Paramount was going to claim the summer with “Star Trek” and “GI Joe…” Yikes – do you think Bay is a little pissed?
But don’t let that ruin your Gay Day at the Movies: featured at the event – BUMBLEBEE, the heroic AUTOBOT based on Chevrolet’s Camaro concept, SIDESWIPE – a stylized Corvette vision concept vehicle, SKIDS and MUDFLAP – twin AUTOBOT Chevy Beats and JOLT – an AUTOBOT-based on Chevy’s upcoming Volt.
