High School Newspaper Classics: I can’t wait for the live action Transformers movie!

Transformers was a cartoon, and toy line. It was about the Autobots (who are the good guys) and The Decepticons (who are the bad guys) fighting a civil war on there home planet. Why I’m I talking about something that’s been around since the 1980’s?  Well it’s because there making a new live action movie (not a cartoon) with the Transformers. It will be made by director Michael Bay, and with Steven Spielberg acting as the executive producer. It will be an action film and it will come out July 4, 2007 (this year). It was said that this movie is the first of its kind, because this will be the first time the Transformers will be in live action! I can’t wait to see what the movie will be like, and there may even be sequels. For more info on the live action movie go to http://www.transformersmovie.com/
