The Hub to Air The Making of Transformers: DOTM

The Hub has issued a press release via Toonzone announcing that The Hub will air "The Making of Transformers: Dark of the Moon". The special will air the Saturday before the movie's premiere on Saturday, June 25th at 2pm EST with encores airing June 26th, July 2nd, July 3rd and July 4th. Based on the comments about the networks financial troubles, it seems most will miss it. No worries, if can't watch it, pretty much a guarantee it will be part of the DVD & Blu-ray release. If can catch it, also watch the network on the 4th of July as they are doing a marathon of Transformers Generation 1 and Transformers: Prime episodes from 1-8pm EST.

Chances are the special is the usual 22 minute sales pitch that is sadly typical of most of Hollywood's "behind the scenes" shows where everyone talks about how awesome the movie will be, how hard everyone worked and so forth with re-use of trailer video and shorts that are actual behind the scenes stuff like a minute or two of ILM explaining some aspect of their visual effects work. If sound a touch bitter it is because if someone is watching a behind the scenes special, chances are high they are already sold on the movie. Sales pitch not needed. Wish Hollywood would get that.
