Amid the feel good news that Hollywood and the video game industry benefit from eachother comes this little nugget of news: The Transformers video game—the one based on the upcoming Michael Bay movie, not a re-issue of the previous capable Transformers game—will hit stores the same day the movie hits theatres. For those of you keeping score, thats July 4th of 2007.

The game will be coming courtesy of Digital Domain, a production house recently purchased by Mr. Bay's Wyndcrest Holdings, LLC. They'll apparently be "sharing assets" with the film crew, so expect the game to stay true to the film from a visuals standpoint.

I'm nervously excited about the prospect of a live action Transformers flick, but this is Michael Bay we're talking about here. Michael McWhertor
