LA Revenge of the Fallen Press Conference with Bay & Co

Written by Big Bot on June 21, 2009 | News,Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen | Tags: , , , , , , —

ComingSoon.net has a transcript of the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen press conference held in Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles.

In attendance at the event were Michael Bay, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, Kevin Dunn, Megan Fox and Ramon Ridriguez. As usual, they talked about the military involvement, the Twins , staying in shape, the theme of the movie, the inclusion of President Obama in the film, Shia’s hand injury and how they worked around it, and various other discussion points.

Also mentioned was that the DVD will be a far more expanded affair with “Ridley Scott’s DVD guy” doing it. I’m guessing this is Charles de Lauzirika, who is responsible for the brilliant Alien Quadrilogy, Gladiator Extended Edition, Kingdom of Heaven and Blade Runner DVD sets! They will also be following The Dark Knight and having the IMAX stuff included in the film.

Elizabeth Snead have taken some videos of the panel, so if you can’t be bothered to read, you can watch instead.

MovieWeb have been speaking with Tyrese Gibson and his role in the Transformers film. Here is a short extract:

Tyrese also mentioned working with a cast of equals and being in a film with so many people who respect each other. He gave us a new addition to the cast of Transformers that we didn’t know before – John Turturro. “Right now, I’m working with Jon Voight and John Turturro and its just crazy; that’s as real as it gets. I’m pickin’ their brain; I call Jon Voight my pops now cause he’s just a mentor, he’s lettin’ me in on everything.”

The Official website of the United States Air Force has written another article about the filming of the Transformers movie. Here is a sample from the article:

Master Sgt. Ray Bolinger, combat controller with the 22nd Special Tactics Squadron at McChord Air Force Base, Wash., trained Tyrese Gibson, one of the lead actors, on the mannerisms and language of a combat controller.

“I am his combat control technical adviser,” he said. “I taught him the authentic dialogue of calling in an air strike.”

As an Air Force combat controller, Sergeant Bolinger provides air and ground interface, is a certified air traffic controller and calls in air strike attacks when in war.
