From acting opposite Optimus
Prime in the "Transformers" franchise to befriending heroes in half
shells known as the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," Megan Fox revealed to Gold
Derby at the Australia premiere that the hardest CGI behemoths to work with are
the "Transformers, because they're so massive ... and there's no one there
acting with you so that was definitely more difficult."
Also starring in
"Turtles" is Will Arnett, who said,
"A lot of times making these kinds of movies you have to do it against a
tennis ball, but this time we had the benefit of actually doing it with real
actors wearing motion capture suits." (Watch
our green carpet chats with Fox and Arnett below.)
Reflecting on the movie's
awards prospects, Arnett jested, "I think there’s a lot of Oscar buzz, is
that true?" One place where there may be a bit of Oscar buzz for the film
is in the Visual Effect race where franchises like "Transformers" and
superhero movies are often nominated. Producer Andrew Form said they are really hoping
for a nomination as there were "hundreds and hundreds of people working on
our movie, [so] we're really hoping they're recognized."
Producer Brad Fuller said that
the hardest visual effect challenge was that "by the time you see what the
turtles look like, it's too late to change it. So you have to hope the way they
look and the way they move works, cause it takes a really long time."
This also proved a little
challenging for Arnett, who joked, "I ended up having to use this thing I
call my imagination which is not used very often."
