[The Apatow Crew]

Awesome i'm glad i'm here this time around for all the up to the minute updates.

 

[The Apatow Crew]

I just heard on the radio that its suppose to rain around 1 am tonight.

So that might postpone some stuff if that does happen.

 

[Dr Lee]

Nice work Dr Lee, if it's cool with you I'll add a link to here on the FAQ thread.

 

[millennium movies]

Good job DrLee, last year i had the same task, hard keeping up with everything. What i did was i constantly updated the first post so it would all be on the first page and the rest would be comments from us.

Jail Break of Megatron?

Slashfilm, in reporting about 20 Transformers in TF II, slipped in a rumor from one of their readers involving shooting at the Eastern State Penitentiary near Philadelphia. Apparently the use of scale models of Megatron, Optimus Prime and Starscream where used in the scouting. Does this mean the return of Megatron or they just using his model just for scaling purposes? What will the old prison be used for?

“My girlfriend works at Eastern State Penitentiary in the Fairmount area of Philadelphia. It was used as a prison from 1829 until 1971, and is now a historical site and museum. Anyway, at the prison today producers for Transformers 2 were on site with scale models of Megatron, Optimus Prime and Star Scream and were scouting filming locations in cell block 1 and the prison kitchen. Just thought I’d let people know that filming should begin here soon.”

Bethlehem Day 2 Rainy and Muted

Jason H has provided another set report from Bethlehem Steel. He reports that it has been raining for most of the day and night so they where unable to shoot the planned explosions for the film and probably effected helicopter flights. The NEST Hummers where seen driving around and some filming occurred at the site (things where lit up and movement all around) but Bethlehem residents probably had a good nights sleep with little noise.

Strange vehicle seen on set-
http://transformerslive.blogspot.com/2008/06/bethlehem-steel-at-night-nest-vehicle.html

Strange vehicle my hairy white ass. It's an H3 (possibly made up a little bit) with a mini-gun on top. I've seen the gun on Mythbusters before. It's the same kind you see on the side of a Blackhawk helo.

PRIME SPOTTED ON SET.... check last image in the linked page for him

[Rocker22]

Oh buddy! That is great.

That ice cream truck is nice to.

 

[Peter_Porker]

I bet you anything the scene they are shooting is the landing of new Autobot(s), and Prime going to meet up with them.

 

[Prison Mike]

man, today has been really dreary here in bethlehem. It's supposed to rain again tonight. Good luck filming. lol

PRIME SPOTTED ON SET.... check last image in the linked page for him

http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers...thlehem-images---optimus-prime-on-set-165046/

...Yeah, I'm going to need that Ice Cream truck to transform in to a Decepticon, please.

 

[Dr Lee]

I don't care if it's blown to **** and back .000001 of a second after it tansforms....

I sooooooooo wanna see that transform as well.

It's a shame we can't see who's driving.... maybe Lennox or Epps or the new guy 'Borrows' it for a chase?

 

[oakzap425]

...Nope, I just want it to be a decepticon. That would be epic win.

 

[Golgo-13]

Found this:

More set pics from Transformers 2 have shown up, with more helicopters-over-steel-mill action. The Bethlehem steel mill is still doubling as a Chinese plant and there are tons of people with masks fleeing the chaos. Supposedly this is from the movie's opening sequence. And here's a bit of local news station video of the shooting. [Film School Rejects and IESB]

I didn't know Bethlehem was doubling as China? Cool.

 

[Shinobi Rendar]

New set report involving two new vehicles (well actually 3). Anyways it sounds really interesting. It may contain spoilers. Read at your own risk.

Spoiler

Ok, Here's the background. I was sitting out around 4:00 am when a guy comes walking across the bridge. He was wearing a TF2 crew ID tag. Turns out he was security going home for the night. I ask him if they were going to shoot any more scenes since it's raining. He says there is going to be one more in which a Hummer in a military convoy is flipped over and a firefight ensues. This is fairly consistent with what it seemed like they were shooting for the final shot of the day later on.

Anyway this is the info I got from the guy.

He has seen several new transformers including a red Acura NSX, a grey and black Audi RS6, and an old looking Chinese ice cream truck with a domed top and ice cream scoop on the roof that he said will split into two twin Autobots. One of the guys who I was standing on the bridge with had seen an ice cream truck like this driving around the set doing what looked like practice runs.

Shooting will be extended into Thursday, most likely due to the bad weather we've been having.

Megan Fox has scenes that she will be shooting with Tyrese on Wednesday the 4th in which they are chased up stairs that run along the side of the blast furnace.

Shia will be in town to film scenes on Thursday

Overall the guy said that a good chunk of the movie is taking place here.

These are just rumors but I would say that they are somewhat believable, especially if people start seeing Shia or Megan around town.

Getting psyched after hearing this

 

[millennium movies]

Looks like your wishes for the ice cream truck may happen...

 

[Avangarde]

So we have an Acura NSX an Audi RS6.............and an Icecream van as new Autobot's


Edit: Didn't Bay say that there was going to be a geriatric robot in this? That Icecream van looks a little run down if you know what I mean

 

[Golgo-13]

An Autobot that transforms into an ice-cream truck?.............

 

[oakzap425]

An Autobot that transforms into an ice-cream truck?.............

Don't knock it yet. Could have been the only vehicle around for it at the time. Once the threat is over, and they are on their way to another location, they may pick another alt-mode.

As for the geriatric transformer, I'm going more toward the the chinese delivery truck than the ice-cream truck. The ice cream truck splits? Seems a little small to split, but if it does, sunny and sides, maybe?

 

[Dr Lee]

Don't think so....

a pair of Minicons maybe?

 

[oakzap425]

maybe... won't rule it out.

But it stills means we get to see it transform! Sadly, not into a Decepticon.
