LA Revenge of the Fallen Press Conference with Bay & Co

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.

Shia LaBeouf is a good kisser, admits Megan Fox in Transformers press conference

Written by Darren 'Starscream' Jamieson on June 19, 2009 | News,Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen |

In the final part of the Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Press Conference, in London this week, Megan Fox replied to comments that Shia was a bad kisser, and a red faced LaBeouf seemed mightily embarrassed about his co-stars comments.

Michael Bay speaks about how good Shia is at acting without anything to act against, as the Transformers were added later in post production.

Megan Fox also speaks about the Hollywood lifestyle and how she would like to keep some of her private life private.

Transformers Press Conference in London, part 4

Written by Darren 'Starscream' Jamieson on | News,Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen |

In the penultimate part of the Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Press Conference in London, Michael Bay is asked a difficult question about how children are able to watch a film like Transformers which has a lot of robot violence in it. Michael defends the film as being ‘alien violence’ and parents should be allowed to raise their children anyway they like and watch the film if they want to.

Michael also talks about his distaste for motion capture and blue screen, which was used heavily in the Star Wars movies. Michael Bay is also asked if there are any landmarks on earth that he would like to blow up, in the movies at least!

Shia LaBeouf also talks about the Internet rumour that spread about him being attracted to his mother after an offhand comment he made. Megan Fox revealed that she doesn’t read anything online about herself and is embarrassed about comments towards her beauty.

Poor thing.

First details on Length of IMAX Version of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

Just in time, Paramount Pictures UK have had the IMAX version of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen rated by the BBFC in time for today’s release. It has been given the same 12A rating as the regular cinema cut.

As we previously revealed, the regular cinema version of the film is 149m 45s long, but the IMAX version, which was revealed to be longer, is only slightly extended at 151m 16s, or 1m 31s of extra robot action. Now, the question we have to ask is, how much action can you put in 1m 31s that makes it worthwhile? The answer, to the most eager of fans, is absolutely loads.

Look out for details on which extra scenes have been put in very soon.

Bay NOT Quitting Transformers

It seems the explosive one has been misquoted and is not quitting the Transformers franchise, but rather taking a break before Transformers 3 hits in 2012.

Hah,

Love press how they spin. Never said it – just wanted a vacation is more to the point. And no I don’t read the good or the bad reviews.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen out in the UK & Ireland!

The date has finally arrived, 19th June, when fans in the UK and Ireland can ignore the sunny weather and head down to their local cinema or IMAX theatre and bask in Michael Bay’s Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

The 2 and a half hour movie opens unopposed and should set the box office alight for the next 2 weeks until Ice Age: Dawn Of The Dinosaurs and Public Enemies open on 3rd July. The film is expected to eclipse the $50 million made by the first film, which was affected by opening on the same day as The Simpsons Movie and a month after most of the world.

Once you’ve seen it, come and tell us what you think!

Transformers Revenge of the Fallen London Press Conference part 3

Written by Darren 'Starscream' Jamieson on June 18, 2009 | News,Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen |

This is the third part of the Transformers Revenge of the Fallen press conference from London on Monday this last week. The stars of the film, and director Michael Bay speak about their time making Transformers 2.

Michael Bay talks about how the effects were made for Transformers Revenge of the Fallen and Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox speak about how they’ve handled their sudden rise to fame after Transformers.

Shia mentions how he had a much bigger trailer this time around as well!

The guys talk about their toys when they were kids, and no prises for guessing that Shia was a Transformers fan.

Megan Fox also explains her difficulty in being open with the press when they twist her words.

Finally Michael Bay speaks about Transformers 3 and what he expects it to be, how he intends to make a darker movie. He also says that many studios turned down the first Transformers but he championed the film to get it made.

Bay Leaves Transformers?

In a surprise move, it seems Transformers and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen director Michael Bay has decided to leave the franchise and not do a third movie.

It does seem weird that Michael would quit only months after saying he would simply be taking a break before doing Transformers 3 in 2012. It’s also interesting that he mentions it a day before the first public opening in the UK.

The most shocking thing about his interview with wenn.com (via IMDB) is that he will be doing something different: “I need to do something totally divergent, something without any explosions.” He also goes on to comment on reviewers, “It’s easy to go shoot an art movie in a winery in the South of France. But people have no idea how hard it is to create something like Transformers. They (the critics) review me before they’ve even seen the movie.” Don’t worry Michael, we liked it.

So fans, think back to 2006 and start deciding who you would love to direct the next installment of Transformers.
