Philly.com has posted a bit more on the upcoming Transformers 2 filming:

Neat twist surrounding the action movie Transformers 2, whose production will be based in Philly for the better part of June. I hear that director Michael Bay and crew also will shoot in Bethlehem, Pa., which will double as a city in the Far East. (A twist in the notion of sending American jobs overseas.)

DreamWorks/Paramount are planning a June 26, 2009 release.

I can hardly wait for more confusing special effects surrounding a pathetic weak storyline combined with nonsensical robot-on-robot action and the warped creation/destruction of childhood favourites from the original series.

+1

I don't know if I can stomach GoBots 2.

That pic of Devestator is great though.

"Transformers 2" director Michael Bay claims that, short of news that filming is taking place in Philadelphia, everything else that has hit the Net about the upcoming "Transformers" sequel is BS.

He says on his official site that "Sorry everyone, everything you are reading (other then we are shooting in Philly) is false. We are going to give so much disinformation on this film to confuse everyone."

So unless it is an official announcement, don't believe it!

I just love self-contradicting statements. So if everything I'm reading is false, That would mean the statement he just made is false...which would make it true... but it can't be true because he said it's false....... :laugh:

yeah, and would you believe Transformers 4? :woot:

^ I agree, they have made it more modern and the end result is fantastic. Sure, with any remake of a classic child series, it's going to upset some people, but I'm a die-hard fan and I loved it!

dude...by the way, yuz got a thing for little asian girls? Just curious......

Michael Bay is tricking the world!

Michael Bay has revealed that he is deliberately trying to mislead Transformers fans by putting out false information on the web about the film's sequel.

The second instalment in the robot franchise will film later this year in Philadelphia and Bay pointed out that any advance spoilers and pictures from the movie could turn out to be false.

Writing on his website Shoot For The Edit, Bay said: "Sorry everyone, everything you are reading (other than we are shooting in Philly) is false. We are going to give so much disinformation on this film to confuse everyone."

Bay recently attacked Uwe Boll after the German director slammed his films in a YouTube rant.

A tipster over at Superhero hype sent this in:

You may already know this but Transformers 2 will be filming at the Air Force boneyard in Arizona.

They are apparently preparing for the filming at the Tuscon facility, but it's not known when filming will take place.

While her Justice role as baddie Talia al Ghul is seemingly in a permanent holding pattern, the talented Aussie actress Teresa Palmer, pictured, has apparently landed a role in the Transformers sequel, Transformers 2.

Jonah Hill is in early negotiations to costar opposite Shia LaBeouf in Transformers 2 for DreamWorks and Paramount.

Hill (Superbad, Forgetting Sarah Marshall) will provide the comic relief as a sidekick to Shia's Sam Witwicky. (A source tells EW.com that he'll play Sam's college roommate, but DreamWorks won't confirm.)

The sequel is set to begin shooting this summer.

Jonah Hill Not Joining Transformers 2

Jonah Hill will not join Shia LaBeouf in the upcoming Transformers sequel.

Entertainment Weekly had reported that the Superbad star was in talks to play the college roommate of LaBeouf's character Sam Witwicky.

However, the magazine now claims that negotiations between Hill and DreamWorks have broken down.

Transformers grossed more than $700 million worldwide following its release last summer. The second instalment will film later this year in Philadelphia.

Hill, who can currently be seen in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, is in line for a cameo role opposite Ben Stiller in Night at the Museum 2.

      I agree. I also think Phil stayed too long. They should definitely fire whoever thought all a console platform needed was Call of Duty, Elder Scrolls, and Fallout to survive. Asha and crew are still saying they need more Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. They simply don't get it.

    • Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap by Sayan Sen Last month Mozilla confirmed that Firefox was set to get a major redesign this year. Dubbed "Project Nova", it can already be tested and will roll out to all users later this year.The idea is to keep the browser competitive in a rapidly evolving internet landscape. As such the revamp focuses on improving privacy, usability, performance, accessibility, and customization. Key privacy features including the built-in VPN, private browsing mode, and Enhanced Tracking Protection, will be more visible and easier to manage, while users will have the option to disable AI features entirely through a dedicated kill switch. Additionally, the redesign promises faster page loading, the return of Compact mode, expanded personalization options, and stronger accessibility support. You can find the full details in the dedicated piece linked above. In a new blog post today the company once again reiterated on Nova and also emphasized other new and upcoming features like the settings revamp that is intended to make it easier for users to understand browser settings. In order to make it simpler for users to keep up with such features Mozilla today is launching Firefox roadmap. Hence enthusiasts and interested users will be able to check out what's cooking and also share feedback about the upcoming additions. Alongside the roadmap announcement, Mozilla also highlighted what's new in Firefox 152. One of the biggest additions is the arrival of Tab Groups on Android. The feature, which has already been helping desktop users organize large numbers of tabs, is now beginning to roll out on mobile. Users will be able to group related tabs together, assign names and colors to them, and return to them later. Mozilla says support for iOS will arrive later this year. Firefox 152 also introduces the aforementioned redesigned Settings experience. The company says the changes are meant to make controls easier to find and help users discover features they may not have previously known about. Existing preferences are not changing, though they are now better organized. Another notable addition is the new Blocked Tracker Widget, which provides a visual overview of Firefox's privacy protections by showing how many trackers have been blocked over time and the types of tracking activity the browser has stopped. Looking ahead, Mozilla revealed several upcoming roadmap features. They include customizable keyboard shortcuts, as well as enhanced PDF editing tools that will allow documents to be split, merged, and reorganized directly within Firefox. The company is also working on bringing Multi-Account Containers into the native Firefox experience thus removing the need for a separate extension. Meanwhile Firefox's built-in VPN is set to expand to mobile devices. Mozilla is also developing AI-powered features like Quick Answers, which can provide concise responses to voice queries, and Smart Window, its optional AI browsing experience that is now available without a waitlist. Finally, a new Power Saving Mode is in the works and will help reduce the impact of resource-heavy tabs on mobile devices in order to extend battery life. The video below summarizes the upcoming changes in an easy to understand format: You can find the announcement blog post here on Mozilla's official website.

      Dead on arrival at that price. Like they missed the mark by multiple hundreds of dollars - this should actually undercut the Macbook Air at $899 if they want any sort of sales / further adoption of WoA
