NEW YORK (AP) - Some big names in show business are getting behind some big "robots in disguise."
"Transformers," the popular cartoon and toy franchise, is being transformed into a live-action film by director Michael Bay, screenwriters Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci and executive producer Steven Spielberg.
"Under the direction of Michael Bay, and with Steven Spielberg executive producing, we know that `Transformers' is going to be the kind of explosive action movie that is perfect for the height of the summer movie season," DreamWorks head of distribution Jim Tharp said in statement Wednesday.
