Transformers 2 begins

[BGM]

OK, how about Metroplex, Trypticon, Fortress Maximus or Scorponok? I'd like to see the military take one of those down with a helicopter :D

wasn't Scorponok in the 1st one?

albeit a really crap version :)

[Si Veteran]

Oh yeah, I forgot they already nerfed him :(

I want some Omega Supreme (G1)!

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 want some Omega Supreme (G1)!

There are too many robots and too many stories to tell. They really need to produce like 6 movies to tell all of the stories. Also that makes it easier for everyone's favorite robot to get some screen time.

[Antaris Veteran]

As long as its not Seaspray

[Dashel]

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.

Just like X-Men and the yellow tights, a direct cartoon to movie translation wouldn't have done Transformers any justice.

[Antaris Veteran]

^ 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!

"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!

[Cyplex]

nvm

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:

[JonathanVP]

Yeah. I thought Transformers was an awesome movie! I hear that Transformers 3 would be out much later.

[JonathanVP]

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.

Paramount is currently eyeing a June 26, 2009 release date for the sequel.

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.

SOURCE

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.

SOURCE

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.

[Antaris Veteran]

That's a shame, LaBeouf and Hill could of bounced off each other quite well.
