The
"Transformers Movie" is a 2007 live action science fiction film conceptually based on the Transformers franchise and toy line. The film is directed by Michael Bay with Steven Spielberg acting as the executive producer. The film stars Shia LaBeouf as Sam Witwicky who discovers the map to the Allspark, the source of life which the heroic Autobots and evil Decepticons wage a war over. The project originated with producers Don Murphy and Tom DeSanto, who gained support from fans on the Internet to rehire Peter Cullen as the voice of Autobot leader Optimus Prime, 20 years since the original cartoon ended. This adaptation is the Transformers' first American feature film since The Transformers: The Movie in 1986. However, this film is intended to be a reboot of the franchise, with a new complex design aesthetic for the Transformers.
As you know, Paramount Pictures, after ten years of including Wild About Movies on their junkets and including them on their promotional screenings lists, nationwide, have begun a gay discrimination campaign - against Wild About Movies publisher, Tim Nasson. (Back Story.) By clicking on the Back Story, you'll see how they demanded that Mr. Nasson not submit interviews from their Dreamworks film junkets to the dozens of gay newspapers he writes for, including the award winning Bay Area Reporter in San Francisco.
When Nasson refused, and after Paramount Pictures bought Dreamworks and all of Dreamworks seemingly homophobic employees hijacked the Paramount Pictures publicity department, junket invitations and promotional screening opportunties dried up - faster than Stephen Spielberg sold his company, with Katzenberg and Geffen to Paramount Pictures.
However, this discrimination, by Michael Vollman, reigning VP of Worldwide Publicity at Paramount Pictures, and his underling, Christine Batista, affects you, one of our 100,000+ Wild About Movies daily readers - because you're being discriminated against, too. While Rotten sites continue to gain access for their readers to Paramount Pictures screenings, you're treated like dirt.

Dear Michael Vollman,
I, one of over 100,000 regular www.wildaboutmovies.com readers, am appalled that your studio has had the audacity to ban one of the most popular movie websites in the country from your Free Advance Movie Screening promotions. We have supported your movies, for years, paying to see your movies again, even after taking advantage of the Free Screenings we have won tickets to. We have told friends, family, colleagues and neighbors about your movies, too. More shocking, the fact that you don't want your movies mentioned in gay newspapers. What year are we in? And are you not gay yourself? Your former studio, Dreamworks, almost went bankrupt. If it were not for Tom Freston and Brad Grey buying it at the last minute, you would be out of a job. If you want to permanently be out of a job, since we will start boycotting your movies and telling everyone we know to stay away from them in theaters and on DVD, then continue your discrimination.
If you want this to end amicably, and to smooth things over with us, and our favorite movie website, www.wildaboutmovies.com, then do the right thing and stop your discrimination.
Signed,
A former but hopefully FUTURE Paramount/Dreamworks customer!
