The publishers say the “160-pages of black and white photographs shot with the soon-to-be-extinct Type 55 Polaroid film captures the intensity of the male subjects.”

And boy, what subjects. . .   Taylor Kitsch (Friday Night Lights), Ian Somerhalder (Lost,Vampire Diaries), Chace Crawford (Gossip Girl), Ryan Kwanten (True Blood),  Jerry O’Connell (Crossing Jordan), Justin Chon (Twilight, New Moon), Justin Hartley (Smallville), Mark Wystrach (Passions), Gilles Marini (Sex and the City),  Victor Webster (Mutant X),  Will Estes (American Dreams), Jim Caviezel (The Prisoner), Travis Van Winkle (Friday the 13th, Transformers), Jesse Metcalfe (Desperate Housewives),  William Fichtner (Prison Break, The Dark Night) and lots more. Sadly, the only thing missing from this book are either one of those Supernatural boys.

About Face is cloth bound, 160 pages, 10.25 x 12.50 inches, and signed, with a limited-edition of 1500 copies and so it does come with a hefty price tag — but hey, that’s what holiday gift giving is all about.

You can see some of the photography and order a copy at Pixie Press Worldwide. The publisher will be donating a portion of the profits to the children’s charity Smile Train.

Astute moviegoers and longtime fans will remember that the diabolical Starscream survived and was seen flying away at the end of the film. They will also remember that Wheelie was quite possibly the worst Autobot of all time.

Co-writers Chris Ryall, who also wrote the Transformers Movie Prequel, and Chris Mowry present a tale of intrigue, betrayal, and dark ambition, featuring both old and new Transformers characters. (Oh boy, see the previous paragraph about new characters.)

“The movie left fans with some questions at the end, and we get a chance to answer them here,” says Ryall. “We pick up on what happened at the end and reveal the fates of some of the surviving film characters. Take Starscream – we find out where he was headed and what he was doing. We also introduce new characters. In doing so, we bridge the gap between the last movie and the next movie, coming in ‘09.”

In the first issue of the five-part series, when Megatron falls in battle Starscream assumes the role of Decepticon leader on Earth. Mustering his surviving allies, he puts his own plan in motion. But before he can do that, he’ll need to retrieve a fallen comrade, carry out a plan of revenge and leave Earth to meet up with a major player in the Decepticon army.

The Reign of Starscream #1 features art from fan-favorite Alex Milne, who also illustrated the Transformers Movie Adaptation, and cover art by Milne and Gabriel Rodriguez, artist for Joe Hill’s Locke & Key. A special variant cover has also been created by longtime Transformers artist James Raiz.
The first issue hits stores in April. Starscream stabs his first teammate in the back 10 seconds after that.

But overall, are you kidding me? Love, Actually and Terms of Endearment ahead of say, Spock’s death scene in Wrath of Khan? Incidentally, Star Trek III: The Search for Spock made me cry for an entirely different reason. And how many 13-year-old boys screamed when Megatron killed Optimus Prime?   SFUniverse fans, what flicks really make you turn on the waterworks?

“We’ve got our characters all designed,” Bay told popular film site Rotten Tomatoes. I always write all my scripts, my movies anyway so at least I’ve got something to give the writers. It’s like a template. We have a really good outline so I worked on that. We had to because I want to make my date. I’m not going to let the strike take me down.”

The writer in me says support the writers, but the movie geek in me says “Yes! More giant robot face-punching action!”
