Hey guys, I’m back! I’m so sorry it’s been two weeks and leave this site with no updates, my school works are just crazy! But I’ll update it soon as I finish them all.
So here’s a new interview of Shia with Daily Texan recently.
Daily Texan: How is the second movie going to top it off?
Shia LaBeouf: It’s [expletive] bigger, stronger, faster, better — it has to be. You got to realize you know this movie is being made by a lot of dudes who have a lot of pride. There’s no way that we’re going to promise you something and then have it be a piece of [expletive]. It would just be a real problem for everybody’s psyche. I think that definitely, like, the easiest way that I could point at and say that it’s going to be a better film is it’s definitely the most explosive thing that you can possibly buy tickets to this year. We broke like four or five Guinness World Records making it.
DT: So, having worked on the first film, did you find it was easier or harder to prepare for the second film?
SL: Again, it’s not “Elephant Man.” We’re not making “Citizen Kane.” It’s not like some crazy Stanislavski emotional preparation stuff, you know? It’s none of that. A lot of it is physical exertion. So having to physically exert yourself when you have a broken hand is rough. So that made it difficult. It’s just a very physical, physical movie and [Michael Bay] makes you do as much as possible because he has seven or eight cameras going at once. And situations like that arise every day and you wind up putting your actor in the middle of it.
DT: How does your character change? How does he evolve from the first one?
SL: Well, Sam saved the world the first time, right? So just imagine Brad Pitt going to Trader Joe’s to go get a granola bar. He’s trying to go to college and have a normal life. And as you know, college is a humongous, humongous deal for kids who didn’t enjoy their life in high school because it’s a chance to start over. And Sam was this nebbishy, neurotic, dorky kid in high school who fell into the most ridiculous situation.
DT: Can you relate to the whole college theme?
SL: I wanted to go to college — [expletive] man. I wanted to go to college so bad and I was going to go. I was set to go. And at the last minute a guy named Steven Spielberg called up and had a plan for other things. And I wasn’t going to be like, “Well, listen, Steven, you’ve got great ideas and all, but I don’t think so, boss, I’m headed to school.” So I didn’t do that, because I’m not insane.
DT: So who from the first film did you most look forward to working with again on “Transformers?”
SL: Okay, now which — hmm. Interesting. I mean the obvious is — right? I’m a red-blooded American man, age 22, so there’s that. I think probably John Turturro. I think honestly Turturro was so insane, man. Turturro is like one of the craziest people I’ve ever come across in my life, not even on some actor stuff, just on some people stuff.
