Wizard has put an exclusive interview up on their site with Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner, that was conducted by ToyFare. Goldner answer questions in regards to his work and the Transformers Movie and GI Joe movie franchise. The relationship between Hasbro and Hollywood. And what the future might hold.

You read the complete interview at the following link.

"Well at Hasbro, we are very focused on reimagining and reinventing Hasbro brands. For some of our properties, getting our brands onto the big screen was an early objective of ours as we began to work to turn the company around back in the early 2000s. The brand that we had first in mind for this was G.I. Joe, then Transformers. It just turns out that Transformers got to the big screen before G.I. Joe".

More baffling than shocking. A news item has appeared in Belgian newspapers about a break in on the night of December 4th at a well-known toy store called Toy Champ. Items that were taken included various action figures of Action Man, Star Wars and Transformers! This is the first time that the chain of toy stores have been in such a manner.

The police are investigating the case. It is unknown at this time if it was a random act of burglary or if the thieves chose to rob the store on December 4th due to the fact that the European lowlands celebrate the children's holiday of Sinterklaas on the 5th of December. The last day of Sinterklaas, it is tradition to exchange these types of presents in the evening, making the shopping hours on December 5th one of the busiest in the year for toy stores.

Fox News has run a news item on Shia LaBeouf. According to Fox News, the Transformers Movie actor has been forced to turn down a starring role in the movie "Dark Fields" due to the fact that his hand that was smashed in a car accident last July still has not completely healed yet. Initially production on the movie was pushed back, but it would appear now that the actor has completely withdrawn from the project. According to a source "Shia’s hand is totally shattered, it’s much worse than anyone thought".

According to the article, production on Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen was postponed for a month for Shia's hand to heal up. This is not correct as Michael Bay in the past has said that they mixed up the shooting schedule, so that shooting of the movie could still continue while Shia was healing from his surgery. Production of the movie had not been delayed.

It's no secret that HASBRO, Inc. (HAS NYSE) has benefited greatly from the production and release of the Transformers live action movie and will continue to benefit from the upcoming releases of the sequel, Revenge of the Fallen and G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. What many people may not know is the role that Chief Executive Officer Mr. Brian Goldner played in making the number 2 toymaker an entertainment powerhouse.

It was Mr. Goldner who enlisted the help of movie producer "Lorenzo di Bonaventura in 2003 after reading in a trade publication that di Bonaventura was considering a film project about military technology."

"From one conversation to the next, we hit it off," di Bonaventura said. "In normal times, it could take months of conversation to move forward. Brian and I did it in two or three times. He has that gut instinct and a dynamic vision for what 'Transformers' could be and the willingness to jump into it. His contribution was invaluable."

The huge success and amazing rise in company stock that the productions brought on alone is reason enough to praise the amazing efforts of HASBRO's top man, but the list goes on.

Even before adjusting to his new position, Mr. Goldner set the company sights way beyond a conventional toy maker.

"What does that look like as an online game?" stated Mr. Goldner. "Can that be a cell phone game? Should that be a TV show? Can that be a movie? That's the way we're thinking about our brands today and our strategy for the company."

It was this same innovative thinking that brought the value of HASBRO stock to amazing heights, reaching nearly double in value during the last fiscal year and that landed him the Wall Street Journal's "Market Watch" CEO of the Year Award.

Seibertron.com would like to congratulate you, Mr. Goldner, on your award and many achievements that you've completed even before taking the helm of our favorite toy company. Here's to making HASBRO the number 1 toy company.

The Transformers live Action Movie Blog has new information regarding Transformers Revenge of the Fallen. The first bit of information is that TFROTF is doing a re shoot at Edwards Air force Base. But the more interesting bit of information they have is a bit of info on the release of the TFROTF trailer.
