'Transformers: Dark of the Moon' Featurette on the Skydivers

A badass new featurette has been debuted over on Badass Digest (via SlashFilm) today for Transformers: Dark of the Moon highlighting the skydivers that appear in the movie. We've seen them many times before, as they're in the trailers and have been mentioned by Michael Bay time and time again, the wingsuit guys who jump out of that helicopter. The video focuses on J.T. Holmes, one of the "precision skydivers" who worked on the film. It's awesome seeing these guys just jump off, and jump out, of pretty much anything. It's finally just a few more weeks left until we get to see Transformers: Dark of the Moon!

New 'Transformers: Dark of the Moon' Trailer

When the last trailer for Transformers: Dark of the Moon hit, I have to admit that I was pretty much blown away. All the action looks impressive as hell, and I think this has the potential to be the best of the series (I actually wish this whole cover-up for the space race was part of the first film). Now we have another brand new trailer for the summer blockbuster sequel, and I'm even more pumped to see this in theaters. There's plenty of great shots of Chicago getting decimated, and a final shot of Optimus Prime that's just fantastic.

Teaser Trailer for TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON

Damn I can't believe another one of these movies is almost here already! Paramount has released the first teaser trailer for Michael Bay’s Transformers: Dark of the Moon and it’s extremely well cut and a great teaser.  While many studios love to reveal too much in their trailers and sometimes even in their teaser trailers, this is a perfect example of how to sell your movie without giving it all away.  Also, I love the way it works in a huge moment from the late 60’s and makes it connect with the universe of Transformers.  I don’t want to spoil it…

First Promo Poster for 'Transformers: Dark of the Moon' Surfaces

 

The first trailer for next summer's blockbuster sequel Transformers: Dark of the Moon is supposed to hit sometime today, but a new promo poster, maybe even an official teaser poster, has surfaced already. JoBlo got ahold of the image. It's a simple, and not entirely unexpected image of Optimus Prime standing triumphantly with the signature orange embers flying about, likely from one of Michael Bay's trademark explosions. It's not amazing, but this will surely have people getting excited and bitching at the same time.

Bay Denies 3D Problems

There are few filmmakers as outspoken as director Michael Bay, who we can always rely on to comment on various rumors on the message board for his website MichaelBay.com. The latest rumor for him to address is the one about his upcoming Transformers: Dark of the Moon having problems with its 3D. At the same time, he hinted that the first trailer, or as he calls it, an "announcement piece," will we seen in front of the next two 3D movies, TRON: Legacy and The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.

Michael Bay and Paramount Reunite for Untitled Alien Movie

Michael Bay is reuniting with his Transformers studio, Paramount Pictures, for yet another movie about aliens.  Heat Vision reports that the Bay and the studio are putting together an untitled alien movie that’s being described as a cross between Cloverfield and Paranormal Activity.  While it’s difficult to discern any plot details from that, the description hints heavily at a handheld POV narrative device.  Bay is producing along with his Platinum Dunes partners Brad Fuller and Andrew Form.  Bay’s former Transformers PA Barry Glickert developed the story and will direct.

Great Footage of Transformers 3 Total Destruction

You may have heard this already, but part of Michael Bay’s Transformers 3 — notably one of the big final action set pieces — will take place in the heart of downtown Chicago. And while we don’t know, nor would we be interested in sharing, the details of the plot that lead the film to the Windy City, we do think it sounds like fun to see an epic war between alien robots and humanity break out in the same neighborhood where Christopher Nolan staged Gotham’s finest moments.

First Looks: Robot's from Transformers 3 UPDATED

 UPDATED!!!

Well, I've managed to confirm though highly knowledgeable sources that the pic below is not from TRANSFORMERS 3.
This said, I've been unable to confirm that it is from REAL STEEL - so who knows what the hell we're looking at. If I figure it out, I'll let you know.

Aintitcool.com got their hands on a new behind the scenes still from the set of Transformers 3 by director Michael Bay (Transformers, Armageddon, The Rock) and starring Shia LaBeouf (Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Eagle Eye, Disturbia), Megan Fox (Red Sonja, Jonah Hex, The Crossing), John Malkovich (Red, Burn After Reading), Patrick Dempsey (Grey’s Anatomy, Valentine’s Day) and Tyrese Gibson (Death Race, 2 Fast 2 Furious).

Michael Bay Says Not So Fast Paramount!

Woops. Someone at Paramount heard wrong. Yesterday news that Transformers 3 had been scheduled for a July 1st, 2011 release date, alongside a number of other exciting movies. But apparently Paramount jumped the gun. Michael Bay posted the following on his own official forums: "I said I was taking off a year from Transformers. Paramount made a mistake in dating Transformers 3 - they asked me on the phone - I said yes to July 4 - but for 2012 - whoops! Not 2011!!! That would mean I would have to start prep in September. No way. My brain needs a break from fighting robots." Will it be rescheduled?

I'm a bit amazed that such a huge mistake was made and that Paramount even announced the wrong date. Well, it falls in line with the exact pattern that Bay followed for the first two, so it could make sense that they'd push for the same two year schedule for the third sequel. Additionally, this is the first time Bay has ever followed through with a complete trilogy. He's only ever actually made one sequel - Bad Boys II - but this will be the first time he continues on. It's obvious that this is a passion project for him and that he was indeed born to direct Transformers. He just needs a break, too! So will they push it back to 2012?

Hugo Weaving on Transformers 2

But what is his role? Ah, only true Transformers fans may know this? In Transformers in 2007, Hugo Weaving provided the voice of Megatron. For a while it was thought that Megatron wouldn't return in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, with Michael Bay even going as far as to flat out say that Megatron is not in it. But Weaving revealed to the Australian site AdelaideNow that he is returning and that he has already recorded his voice for the role. "I've already done it," he said. "I had this strange conversation where [Bay] seemed to imply it was all a big secret. So there you go - I've given you the secret scoop."

So how is Megatron resurrected? Well, of course he's not going to tell us that, and I wouldn't dare write about it even if he did, but this is the answer he gave. "I think in the last one, doesn't Optimus Prime pick up a little bit of, a little shard of the cube, or the thing that's left, and he takes it with him. Maybe there's something there… but I don't know." Of course, the All Spark, it heals the robots, it fixed the little Frenzy guy when he got near it in the first movie. That would make sense, wouldn't it? Anyway, we're going to say that reveal for the actual movie, but it's good to hear one of my favorite actors is still back in action!

New Image of The Fallen Toy Revealed!

Somewhere, Michael Bay and the producers of "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" are thinking "Why the fuck do we bother hiding the new Transformers if the fucking toy people are just going to spoil it anyway?" I'm thinking the same thing. Furthermore, it's the worst representation of that character since it's not what's going to be in the movie but just a shitty plastic representation.

But folks want an idea so below we have the title character, The Fallen, with his gigantic trident cock. Or his tail. Or metallic loin cloth. There's something hanging down there.

There's also Wheelie who looks fucking hilarious because he looks like WALL-E or Johnny-5 on steroids. Check 'em out below and have a laugh.

Head over to TF08.net to see the hilarity in higher resolution. "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" hits theatres on June 26th.

Transformers Set Pics

Everyone is caught up in the buzz for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen at the moment, thanks to that mind-blowingly awesome Super Bowl TV spot that Michael Bay whipped up. While the full teaser trailer won't arrive until Friday the 13th (meaning both the actual date as well as attached to that movie), we've got a huge batch of new behind-the-scenes photos from Transformers 2 thanks to both Latino Review and a guy who was cast as an extra in the movie. Along with these new photos comes some interesting spoilers, which I won't dare reveal here, but the actual photos are all pretty much entirely spoiler free!

So the story goes that a user on the LS2 Forums, who is apparently part of the military, was cast as an extra. He describes his entire experience, including the scenes that he shot. This is one of my favorite excerpts: "Micheal Bay loves the military. I got to speak with him very briefly. He gets so angry on set at the actors but doesn't dare yell or demean the military. It was a trip. He said something to me like do you want a job as a DA (Directors Assistant), I said hell yeah. He was getting pissed at his DA. His DA was like trust me you don't want this job." Check out the photos below and head over to Latino Review for more!

To put it simply - I can't freakin' wait for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen! I know these are just a bunch of cell phone shots of vehicles and tanks, but just seeing all of this gets me excited. I love Michael Bay's integration of the military, there is really nothing else than can compare to it in Hollywood. To be honest, I think it's that intergration that makes movies like this so entertaining and so successful in the end. That Super Bowl teaser already looked fantastic and I know there is just so much more to be revealed for this! We've only just begun to scratch the surface. Let's keep the hype going all the way until June!

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is again directed by action film superstar Michael Bay of Bad Boys, The Rock, Armageddon, Pearl Harbor, The Island, and Transformers previously.

More Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Pics

Like the previous photos, there's not much revealed about the flick although we do get the first look at Optimus Prime and he looks pretty much like he does from the first movie. Perhaps a little more battle damaged, but other than that, he's still Prime.
