Extra, extra, the MPSE sound show is back! As hinted a few weeks earlier, here in Los Angeles on Nov. 5th, 2007, a sound event featuring editorial crew members (and maybe other craftsmen) of “Transformers” is being put on by the Motion Picture Sound Editors. Though my favorite transformer Soundwave didn’t make it into the film, I am excited that the MPSE is putting on what seems to be a very awesome night! Please note that this press release is very “hot off the presses”, so there is not going to be any info on either the American Cinematheque or MPSE websites as of yet. You heard it, er, read it here first!

UPDATE: You can purchase tickets online HERE

The MPSE Sound Show returns to Hollywood this Fall to reveal the sound effects of this summer’s Paramount/Dreamworks blockbuster “Transformers.”

Join award winning supervising sound editor Ethan Van der Ryn (King Kong; the Lord of the Rings trilogy) and sound designer Erik Aadahl(Superman Returns; I, Robot) for an exploration of the sonic world of the action-packed Science Fiction film directed by Michael Bay. Clips from the movie will be screened with special “pre-dub” soundtracks showing off the variety of sounds created for the motion picture.

As an extra attraction, all audio will be played through a state-of-the-art audio system developed by Meyer Sound Laboratories so that you can hear every subtle and bone-crushing sound effect.

By the end of the evening you will experience how the craft of movie making is “more than meets the eye.”

One night only: Monday, November 5, 2007, at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood, California. 6712 Hollywood Boulevard, just east of Highland Avenue. General admission is $10. Seniors and students with valid ID are $8. Members of the MPSE and American Cinematheque are $7. Tickets can be bought on Fandango.com and at the Egyptian box office.

A co-presentation of the Motion Picture Sound Editors and the American Cinematheque. More information will be available soon at www.MPSE.org and www.AmericanCinematheque.com.
