TFW2005 have taken some images from the Bethlehem set.
In the gallery, you’ll see a trademark Michael Bay explosion, lots more helicopters flyinging in the air, some Chinese lorries, some filming at night and some soldiers in uniform.
Keep checking back for more pictures from around the web throughout this week.
transformerslive.blogspot.com is reporting that Nina Dobrev has been cast in Transformers 2 as a university student.
There is no confirmation that she has been on set this week, but if she has been cast, expect to see her with Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox and Aaron Hill at the University of Pennsylvania, where shooting moves to.
Some more good news coming out of Transformers 2 HQ is that the sequel won’t be part 1 of 2, but will in-fact be a standalone sequel without the annoying cliffhanger at the end. This all according to director Michael Bay. This isn’t to say that Transformers 3 won’t happen, or be hinted at, but don’t expect Matrix style sequels.
Talking to MTV, he goes on to say that the “First one was just introducing, setting up stuff, so we can go a lot farther. Let’s just say [this] is not a lame sequel”. and that we can expect a lot more from the robot cast, even though there are a lot more on screen; “The robots are going to surprise a lot of people because we go with a lot of different levels,”.
Will lots of USA based websites eagerly reporting on filming for Transformers 2, here is a list of reports with photos that we haven’t already reported. Most of them are of the Chinese set, at day and at night. Again, you’ll see the Black Hawk helicopters and lots of bright lights.
Producer Ian Bryce has confirmed to Mcall.com that Josh Duhamel is on the set at Bethlehem for filming of Transformers 2, for which Michael Bay plans to have three night shoots in the made-up Chinese industrial city.
There are also 2 photos with the news article, one is of an aerial shot of 2 Black Hawk Helicopters and the other is of Michael Bay and some crew members in a golf cart, doing some filming. As the driver is looking where he is going, they may be about to crash.
Aaronhill.biz, Aaron Hill’s personnel website, is reporting that he will be involved in filming in a supporting role in Transformers 2.
Not much is known of his role, but he will be on the east coast of the USA later this month for filming.
WFMZ, a local TV station in the Bethlehem area, have picked up on the excitement of filming for Transformers 2, and have made a feature about it.
In the first video there is plenty of video and still images of the filming on set. More can be seen in the other video.
A video on Youtube shows some video footage from the Bethlehem set of Transformers 2, with shooting take place at night. In the video clip, you can see some Black hawk helicopters in the night and the Chinese set lights.
MTV are reporting that Matthew Marsden, who has appeared in Rambo, Black Hawk Down and Resident Evil: Extinction recently, has been cast in Transformers 2.
The 35 year old British actor is to play a British Special Forces character called Graham. This, of course, brings up more questions, like if Michael Bay is planning on shooting in the UK, or doing an Austin Powers 2 and pretending sunny California is just like the UK.
Either way, all we know is that he is joining with Captain William Lennox and Robert Epps to battle the Decepticon forces.
transformerslive.blogspot.com have received pictures of Tyrese Gibson at the Bethlehem Steel site, in costume, ready to reprise his role of Sergeant Epps. The site also reports that the other key actors are there was well, but no photos have been taken of them. Hopefully it won’t be too long before we see the rest of the cast on set too.
