Revenge of the Fallen Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen news,info, etc thread

Hahaha Michael Bay.................


It's not much but atleast it's something, very sneaky to continue filming without anyone knowing.

 

[Dr Lee]

That 'first 12 minutes' comment is in regards to the Friday 13th movie NOT TF:ROTF

 

[Julliant]

Those are the same writers who lied time and time again during production of TF1, so seeing is believing with them.

What did they lie about?

As far as I know, they did write more Starscream and Megatron dialogue but the scenes never got rendered.

Bay on Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
Source: Entertainment Weekly July 15, 2008

Entertainment Weekly talked to Michael Bay who didn't reveal much about Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, but did say the following:

When we were writing the script, I said to the writers, "I hate sequels that try to make it to the third movie. Pretend like we’re never having a third movie, so let's go for broke on the second one. I hate those cliffhangers! Let's just make this movie stand on its own." I really feel this movie is not a forced sequel. I think the script is really good, and I think it's got a lot of new stuff in it. There are a lot of rumors out there, but we've released a lot of fake stuff. We’ve done a really good job of keeping things secret.

You can read the rest of his quotes here.

Released alot of fake stuff? As far as i know, they haven't released anything official....except.............the title. aha!

I personally think Bay is full of ****, and is actually using reverse psychology on us.....

 

[Roaring_Hulk!]

There are some great, new robots that are really inventive.

Inventive?

He's either talking about:

1)Wheeljack.

or:

2) the twins transforming into 1 vehicle.

He's using reverse psychology on your reverse psychology.

 

[Golgo-13]

We haven't really gotten any news about plots, characters and whatnot, so i don't know what he's referring to when he states that he's released alot of fake stuff. The title..is that fake? The fact that Arcee is in it..is that fake? The call sheet naming Jetfire,etc..is that fake? Unless it's one of these things, i really have no clue as to what else he could be referring to.

 

[Dr Lee]

If Arcee is Fake, then it means that Bay and Co have arragned for a custom bike builder to do an interview with a magazine just to confuse a bunch of fans.....

Seems a bit much.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

I hate your signature (the first part)...tells a lot about who you are

THIS i liked the sound of, i liked the first movie, but was a fan of TF anyway, so i cant wait for this.

Good read. I guess that goes along with the title, and that 'The Fallen' refers to a TF character from space that heralds the coming of Unicron.

 

[Avangarde]

We're still looking for confirmation on whether the title is a reference to "The Fallen" right?

It seems that way, i hope its true, the closer they go to the comics the better IMO.

We are, but it seems that the cat is out of the bag at the moment, i guess we'll see.

It appears that the concept Corvette may very well turn out to be Hot Rod:

Obviously take this with a grain of salt, but ever since we learned that this was going to be in the film, the Corvette has always struck me as a possible Hot Rod.

 

[Jake Cassidy]

^ I hope so.

The Chevy Traxx and Beat should be the twins, and I wonder if this will be Jazz, Stinger or Wheeljack HotRod, I just don't think that no flames would do him justice, unless Hotrod inherits his flames from Prime after he dies in the film with the MOL. Speculation at best.

 

[Golgo-13]

Has their been any official word that Hot Rod is even in the movie? Bay keeps talking about throwing out false info, yet everyone seems to be eating this Hot Rod 'rumor' up like it's actually true.

 

[Dr Lee]

The Hot Rod 'confirmation' was simnply one guy evesdropping on a conversation... nohting more than that. Heck we don't even know if there was a conversation or if they just made the **** up

This is one thing i've found EXTREAMELY annoying. The amount of people that hear a rumourt or a theory and instantly it's true....Even if one post above is a comment about how it's not true.

It's just helping to confuse the **** out of the sane fans out there that know the difference between speculation and fact.

there's also this damned 'ArCee-is-three-bike-Combiner' theory that is doing the rounds.... and the Cam-Am's are Transformers theory.....

People... Fact and Theory are two different things... go read the dictionary and you'll see

.......

Rant over

It's wishful thinking for me. I love Hot Rod. t:

As long as he never becomes Rodimus Prime.

If Hasbro has any say in what characters they use, Hot Rod will most likely show up sometime. He's one of the highest selling characters.

Mark Ryan confirmed to be voicing Bumblebee again, he is also doing the on set voicing like last time.

You heard it here first folks! Mark Ryan, the voice of Bumblebee in the first Transformers Movie, will be returning to the set and audio booth once again for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen!

Here's what Mr. Ryan has to say on the subject:

”I can confirm that I am working on Transformers 2 - Revenge Of The Fallen and have been given the same job on set, voicing the Autobots for the actors, and have already done some voiceover work in the studio as well. It’s a privilege to work with the cast and crew again, it's very exciting and we are having a great time. I cannot comment on details about the film or the script, but there are some new characters that fans will love.”

Also of note, Mr. Ryan will be making an appearance at the San Diego ComicCon to discuss his new graphic novel "The Pilgrim" with Mike Grell during a panel on Friday, the 25th. And as a final bit of info, Mark will be starting a now as yet unnamed project next month.

It's incredible saddening how much lack of news there is. Either they are doing a damn good job of keeping this under wraps or people just stopped caring/visiting sets. I prefered the first film's following, it was so much more exciting. I think Bay is somewhat shooting himself in the foot by holding everything back, he's minimizing the hype that there could of been had he released some stuff.

 

[Dr Lee]

It is damned annoying as the lack of anything official is fueling the waves of idiots (IMHO) who are taking theory as fact

Anyway.... I've found a nice T-shirt..

EDIT-

Looks like there's more University filming in the works...

Linky

This is up over on Seibetron....

I'm a summer student over at USC and this alert could actually go out to anyone in and around USC. They are going to start filming here either this week or next week. As I heard it - it's an action sequence, Shia, Bay, the whole crew is going to be here. The school is having a meeting about it THIS Wednesday.

How do I know? Stupid luck really, right place at the right time, I just happened to over hear it. Don't think I was supposed to.

I can't give you guys the complete details, I will report back with what I saw though.

USC students, like myself, I'm betting you know how to work around the system, ask around, listen closely, pay attention and we'll all be there at the right place, right time. Teachers and staff may also open up. I have a particular teacher connection that I'm betting can give me the low down. The teacher has a connection to the film.

With Sam being at college, we may even be extras.

See you guys at USC. There's more to this school than meets the eye

Highest selling? Really? I didn't know that.

I personally hate the character. Yeah, he served his purpose in the animated movie, but everything about him after that was crap imo.

I dunno, i think my hatred of him stems from the fact that his introduction, along with the introduction of Galvatron, Ultra Magnus, Arcee, Cyclonus, etc signified the end of the G1 era, that i knew and loved. The show completely went down the toilet in quality once these characters debuted.

Anyhow, Hot Rod seems like a dream character for Bay. I just can't see Bay not making him red and throwing the flames on him. Bay would jump at the chance to do that to a car. The rumored grey corvette just doesn't seem to fit Hot Rod. But, we'll see.

Yeah the first time around was a lot of fun, however there's still plenty of production time and more oppotunities for people to get hyped up, things will go crazy once we have actual robot pics, characters, plots, and esspecially trailers. Take heart MM, things will get better

The model of car would be fine for Hotrod but yeah the paint job is wrong, and because we have seen the car on set as being silver we can only hope it's not him.

 

[Avangarde]

New interview with Rainn Wilson, I think he has the title wrong unless he knows something that we don't know

One of the highest selling, yes.

I agree with you that the show went downhill after the movie, but I still really like Hot Rod, Ultra Magnus, Cyclonus, etc. (even Blurr). I blame the writing, personally. It could've been great if done right. I give them credit for trying something different, though, even if it didn't work.
