According to one of the producers of the proposed live-action TRANSFORMERS movie, the stage is set for a new announcement to take place. At the official website for producer Don Murphy, you can click on the image of Optimus Prime and a window will open stating that a "major announcement" will take place at this year's San Diego Comic Convention. Comic-Con kicks off this coming Thursday and runs until Sunday, July 25.

Since we already know that Murphy and X-MEN executive producer Tom DeSanto are onboard and have been developing it for the past year, the announcement will likely be for where the TRANSFORMERS movie has been set up at. Rumors have swirled that DreamWorks and Sony Pictures have been vying for the property but so far no hard facts have crystalized -- yet. We may even find out that there is a director and a writer now attached to the nascent movie project.
