New Transformers Movie: Revenge of the Fallen

New Transformers Movie: Revenge of the Fallen

Looking for some crazy robot movie action come summertime? Well, then it looks like you're in luck! The second Transformers movie - Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen - directed by Michael Bay and produced by Steven Spielberg, is crashing its way into theaters this summer on June 26th. I don't know about you, but I'm definitely excited!

Transformers Movie Trailer

Here's a look at the movie trailer. This was the Superbowl TV spot for the movie, and judging by the online chatter, it's produced quite few nerdgasms already. :P Anyway, just click the pic to watch the movie trailer and see what you think...

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Screenshots

Here are a few interesting screenshots from the trailer. To me, still images always tell a lovely story, and offer a bit of nuance that moving images do not. Enjoy...


Thoughts So Far

I'm not gonna spend much time writing about this one yet since it was a short trailer and all. But from what I can see, it looks to be pretty damn exciting. The CGI looks stunning (as usual), and the action looks pretty intense. I certainly hope it'll be as good, if not better, than the first Transformers movie, which I definitely enjoyed...aside from Megan Fox's horrible acting, of course. :P

New Transformers Trailer Yields Secret Password

A new theatrical trailer for the Transformers movie has been released and I must say it looks pretty darn good. I honestly can't wait to see this thing. So far it looks like it'll live up to everyone's expectations, so let's keep our fingers crossed. I just hope they don't implant too much of a love story into it as Hollywood so often does these days.

The latest Transformers trailer is exclusively on Yahoo! and you can see it by clicking the photo above. You'll also find a bunch of Transformers production photos as well as earlier trailers. Oh, and there are some little "hidden presents" in the trailer, too...

Secret Password

For example, in the part where Bumblebee comes to life, look closely at the radio. The new password to the SectorSeven site is revealed there. You need to watch it in high definition to see it. So in case you can't see it clearly enough, the current password is: CODEBLACK.

The SectorSeven site is a little odd and takes some getting used to, but once you figure things out you might just find some exclusive video, including that of Generation One Bumblebee. You can also see some exclusive Dinobot and Insecticon action as well.

Production Photos

Here's a look at some of the latest production photos that have been released by DreamWorks and Paramount Pictures...

The Transformers Movie - Will It Kick Some Butt?

I don't know about you, but I'm pretty stoked about the upcoming Transformers movie - which is due for release this very summer. And from what I've seen in the trailers so far, I have to say that it definitely looks quite amazing. Quite amazing, indeed.

For example, the CGI (Computer-generated Imagery) looks mind-blowingly realistic - so realistic, in fact, that it almost warps the mind just thinking about what our movies will achieve in only a few short years from now. Man, I cant wait!

As for the Transformers movie itself, it's scheduled to be released in theaters this July. In Australia, the release date is July 2nd. In the United States and Canada it's on July 4th. In the United Kingdom, however, they'll have to be a bit more patient. It won't be released there until July 27th. Blimey!

Anyway, you might be wondering which Transformers are actually going to star in the 2007 Transformers movie. Good thing I did some research on that. The Transformers you'll see duking it out on the silver screen this summer (Autobots vs. Decepticons) are as follows:

The Autobots: Optimus Prime (Peterbuilt Truck), Bumblebee (Chevy Camaro), Jazz (Pontiac Solstice), Ratchet (Hummer H2), Ironhide (GMC Topkick).

One Autobot note here: Bumblebee G1 (Generation 1) was always a Volkswagen Beetle - but much to producer Don Murphy's disappointment, Bumblebee was changed for the 2007 Transformers movie. So, instead of being a Volkswagen Beetle, Bumblebee became a 2008 Chevy Camaro (BOO, HISS, Throw tomatoes!). He was changed (supposedly) because director Michael Bay wanted to avoid a comparison with Herbie the Love Bug. Huh? Herbie the Love Bug?

Whatever. I don't believe that for a second. Rather, I think it might have more to do with General Motors wanting to feature all of their new vehicles in the movie. I mean, just take a look at the above lineup. It doesn't take a brain surgeon to put two an two together here. Occam's Razor anyone?

Aside from that, anyone who could actually confuse the Transformer Bumblebee with Herbie the Love Bug (or even make a comparison, for that matter) simply needs to break the pill in half the next time they take it! :P

The Decepticons: Megatron (Stealth Bomber), Starscream (F-22 Raptor), Brawl (Modified M1 Abrams), Bonecrusher (Buffalo H Mine-Protected Vehicle), Barricade (Saleen Ford Mustang Police Cruiser), Scorponok (Mechanical Scorpion), Frenzy (CD Player), Blackout (MH-53 Pave Low).

Here are some action shots from the movie...
