Patrick Tatopoulos is joining Steven Caple Jr.’s upcoming Transformers Live Action Movie as the production designer.
Production designer is the individual responsible for the overall aesthetic of the story. They identify a design style for sets, locations, graphics, props, lighting, camera angles and costumes, while working closely with the director, cinematographer, and producers. Production design gives the viewers a sense of the time period, the plot location, and character actions and feelings. Example: Bumblebee Movie’s theme set in 1980s.
Patrick Tatopoulos previously worked on movies such as 300, Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Justice League, Venom, Independence Day (1996), Stargate (1994), Van Helsing, The Chronicles of Riddick, and I, Robot.
Update 01/19/2021: Mr. Tatopoulos commented on an Instagram post regarding the news and denied the DiscussingFilm article by stating that he is not working for the movie.

Hope it's nothing compared to the first 5 failed movies.

Yeah, I don't know how this man's approach to Transformers would turn out,
but I am not a fan of any of those movies he worked on in that resume posted here.
Especially films like 300, BVS, JL… most of the Snyder stuff, now it could be Snyder's influence,
but the muted sepia filtered dark look for everything sucks.
Part of the reason I do not want Snyder to be involved with the DCEU any more after the Snyder Cut releases.
Now if James Wan could just do all the other art direction and world building from here on out…

Damn, I was kinda excited about this

Yeah, it's pretty much a 50/50 shot of it being factual when the source isn't Deadline or Hollywood Reporter.
Tagging @SilverOptimus so he can take a look and possibly update the front page.

Oh, so it was bogus. Oh well.

This should get more attention as it makes this entire thread a moot point.

Welcome to social media, where the only consistency is outrage and going off topic.

Right?
It’s a thread about the production designer… but most of the discussion is anything but.
So yeah- put me down for some bad language bots.

I’d see it 10 times… minimum
Same lol.

Yet, but many people have forgot about he's other infamous work.

So one of the people responsible for the Tristar Godzilla film's on board? Not sure if should find that funny or sad. All I can say is that I wish him the best of luck making designs for the Transformers characters that feel familiar yet not too similar to the point of just copying and paste sunbow designs. The Bumblebee movie designs so far have a good balance between that so if he builds on that I think it'll make people's worries be put to rest.

Unironically if Megatron just randomly said "Fuck" out of nowhere I'd probably die laughing.
