A boy and his car and his girl. Pretty much the same idea, but more thematically about evolution and extinction. Their crash wipes out the dinosaurs in the beginning of the movie. And lots of nukes at the end. Joseph Kahn, Twitter


Joseph Kahn has found a lot of success making music videos, but hasn't been able to translate those skills into featured films so far. In 2004 he directed Torque, which starred in Ice Cube. It was about an underground motorcycle gangs, and it was heavy on the action, and weak on everything else. Since then he has been unsuccessful at securing any other featured film projects until this year, when he made the small indie horror/comedy Detention.

The best part of this entire article is not the "news" that is listed but merely the whining of autobotcommander and his quest for recognition over something completely useless. How bout searching for recognition over something important, like creating the worlds largest turd......

@Auto, you should never ask for something positive on the internet, or on here, otherwise, you're just askin for an verbal assault. I give you credit cause it's kind of like a 'whoa' thing for you :) But never ask for credit. What you should have done was go into detail and maybe copy and pasted the convo onto here before asking people 'please give me credit!'. Just food for thought.

@AutobotCommander84 Stop your damn crying about not getting credit. I have accomplish so many great things in my life I'm a Marine a father and husband and those are bigger accomplishments than making a movie? Your a nobody for thinking we'er all nobodys. I bet your only accomplishment is asking that damn question.

has anyone seen torque?

I saw Torque in the theater way back when. It's a fairly decent action movie with shitty dialog and plot. It's a good view if you just want to see hot chicks on fast motorcycles, but that's about it.

If this guy would have got his hands on Transformers it most likely would'nt have been nearly as good as Bay's Transformers franchise.

On a side note, I watched Dark Of The Moon a few days ago, and that was the most boring shit I've ever seen. I almost fell asleep, twice. The Autobots and Decepticons were barely in it.

Optimus Prime, who should always be the lead character, had less screen time than he did in Revenge Of The Fallen. That's pretty messed up considering he was dead through most of that movie.

There was way too much focus on the human characters, and some, such as Sam's parents, shouldn't have been in it at all. They served no purpose whatsoever.

It was also a very poorly edited movie. Characters moving from Point A to Point C without showing how they got there.

I'm not a Bay hater. I think TF1 is a great movie and ROTF was ok. ROTF had it's flaws, but it is far better than DOTM.

I'm not a fan of reboots, but hopefully they'll reboot this series, focus primarily on the Autobots and Decepticons, and don't kill off Ironhide.
