Catwoman screenwriter John Rogers is writing Transformers, the DreamWorks/Paramount live-action tentpole based on the popular Hasbro toys, reports Variety.

Steven Spielberg is executive producing the film that is slated for a Summer 2006 release and will likely be a franchise property. Tom DeSanto, who executive produced the two "X-Men" films, wrote the story that Rogers will adapt.

Rogers is also working on Rush Hour 3 for director Brett Ratner at New Line, due out next year. At DreamWorks, he's producing Fatal Frame, based on the Japanese video game.

The only way I'll watch this movie is if they only do G1 transformers. But I have the feeling they will mess this one up.

Can't wait to see who directs this. This has a huge following so let's hope it gets done right. Hopefully with Spielberg involved it will get done right.

Gee!

Who the hell would watch this?

Transformers are like 20 years ago.

I had some, but have no desire to see this.

Just like everything else, in pop culture what was old in new again. For example, aren't the Dukes of Hazard actually older than the Transformers? Yet, there's excitement about that movie.

Those might even be in pre-production. I know a studio owns them and I'd bet dollars to donuts they're at least looking at scripts.

Anybody remember Silverhawks,The Centurions: Power Extreme and M.A.S.K cartoons? 80's cartoons were the best.
