Monsters & Critics posted a press release yesterday from Dreamworks announcing that Steven Speilberg is set to be the executive producer of a live action Transformers movie slated for release in the summer of 2006. This more or less confirms what we have been speculating for a couple months now.

Legendary Transformers franchise. Steven Spielberg will executive produce. The film is slated for release in the summer of 2006. Lorenzo di Bonaventura (Constantine), Don Murphy (The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen) and Tom DeSanto (X-Men and X2: X-Men United) are attached to produce.

DreamWorks Head of Production Adam Goodman stated, Steven and everyone at DreamWorks are very excited about the prospect of expanding the world of ‘Transformers’ into the live-action feature film arena. The possibilities for a thrilling action adventure are virtually endless, and a film holds the definite promise of expanding an already worldwide fan base to new audiences.

It wasn’t that long ago that we were talking about a writer for the film and the possibility that Tom Hanks may somehow be involved in this production. Now that Steven has been confirmed it would seem that all Tom has to do is ask.

I’m not keeping my hopes up that this will actually be any good. I see a movie where a bunch of kids find a transformer and befriend him. Then The Decepticons appear and the good transformer has to help out because he has been accepted into his friends family. And family is all that matters.
