Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen has just hit theaters and Michael Bay shares some of the details for its future release. Most interesting is that it will include ‘IMAX skew’ footage that will change the aspect ratio similar to what The Dark Knight blu-ray had. “We’re going to do a special IMAX SKU,” said Bay, “where it’ll open up for those scenes. You can see top to bottom.” It’s going to include “lot’s of stuff” and be done by “Ridley’s Scott’s DVD guy”, Charlie de Lauzirika.
