This isn’t interesting news, but some of you will be keen to know that the domain Transformers2.com now directs to Paramount’s official TransformersMovie.com site. The domain was sold for over $10,000 to an unknown buyer.
Weirdly, Transformers producer Don Murphy hasn’t had a rant (and threatened legal action) at this person for selling the domain.
With all the rumours floating about and the fact that Transformers 2 director Michael Bay has stated that he will put up false information on purpose, it’s nice to receive some confirmation on some of the lastest casting news.
On his Shoot for the Edit message board, he has confirmed that Teresa Palmer has never been considered for a role in the sequel and that talks with Jonah Hill have broken down.
Toycyte.com has posted an interview with IDW Editor-In-Chief Chris Ryall and writer Chris Mowry, both of which have been working on the follow up to the Transformers movie, Transformers Movie Sequel: Reign of Starscream.
As well as discussing the movie universe, there are also hints and what to expect in 2009, the 25th anniversary of Transformers.
There are also some nice colour pages from the movie sequel series.
Just 2 comics from IDW Publishing this week, the first being Transformers Movie Sequel: The Reign of Starscream #1, the first in a 5 issue series picking up the events of the Transformers movie. As the title suggests, the series focuses on Starscream and helps fill in some of the plot holes from the film.
The second release is Transformers Best of the UK: Dinobots TPB, which collects together more Marvel UK stories from the 80s.
The ever confusing Michael Bay has decided to confuse the fans even more by posting on his message board that the human cast list for Transformers 2 is actually false, and that the only correct information revealed so far is that shooting will take place in Philadelphia.
Sorry everyone, everything you are reading (other then we are shooting in Philly) is false. We are going to give so much disinformation on this film to confuse everyone –

Artist Alex Milne has posted a full colour preview of his cover for Transformers Movie Sequel: The Reign of Starscream.
On the cover is a transformed Starscream, back at the Hoover Dam, one of the locations in the Transformers movie.
On 30th April, IDW Publishing will start the build up to the Transformers Sequel in June 2009, with the first issue of the official Transformers movie sequel comic, Transformers: Reign of Starscream.
To give fans some perspective on the issue, some advanced reviews have been posted on IDW’s forums. The general consensus is mostly positive, but we’ll let you decide when it’s released in 2 weeks time.
Reign of Starscream is written by Chris Mowry and Chris Ryall and drawn by Alex Milne, and will consist of 5 issues from April to August, with the TPB in November 08.
TrekMovie.com recently had a Q & A with Transformers 2 (and Star Trek) writer Roberto Orci, who slipped some information about the progress of the Transformers sequel.
He and Alex Kurtzman were released from ‘Michael Bay Jail’ on Friday after finished the first draft of the script. And by ‘Jail’, they mean a luxury hotel on the Pacific Coast with lots of sun.
It was also mentioned that at least one Star Trek reference is in the Transformers Sequel. Oh dear.
Some more human characters for Transformers 2 have been revealed, but not confirmed. Beware there are potential spoilers. You have been warned.
