The main theme to the new Transformers movie, Transformers Revenge of the Fallen, is being released shortly and the music video will be premiered even sooner. The band have a making of video on their MySpace page that shows the special effects being deployed in the video for the single, and even shows some footage from Transformers 2.
The video is being directed by Joe Hahn and looks pretty awesome. The clowning around on wires looks a lot of fun as well!
We’ve just been sent this video showing footage from the World Premiere of Transformers that took place yesterday in Tokyo, Japan. The video shows footage from the movie itself and red carpet interviews with the stars and director, Michael Bay.
Transformers Revenge of the Fallen – Exclusive Tokyo Premiere Report – kewego
It seems Transformers is even bigger than we thought. The IMAX version of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince has now been delayed by 2 weeks from it’s original opening of 15th July. This is due to a deal between Paramount and IMAX, which gives Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen exclusive use of the IMAX cinemas for 4 weeks, starting from 24th June, in exchange for shooting scenes with the IMAX cameras, which is more expensive than traditional methods.
As you can imagine, many Potterfans are blaming Paramount for this, without considering the fact that it was Warner Brothers who pushed back the release date for Harry Potter 6 from November 2008 to Summer 2009, just to keep their balance sheet flowing. Now they are paying the price for trying to take on the robots in disguise!
You may also remember that Die Hard 4.0 moved from it’s original release date in 2007 to make way for Transformers. Expect Michael Bay to start boasting in 3..2..1..
In Michael Bay’s latest forum post, he mentions that he has just about finished the film, with work continuing around the clock. He also mentions that the Imax version of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen will be longer than the regular cinema cut.
Now unlike the first film, which was released in similar fashion, these extra scenes will not consist of bring human talking/being annoying, but will feature robot action in the four specially film Imax scenes. Just what we wanted to hear!
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is out in the UK on 19th June, before everyone else!
The first premiere of Michael Bay’s Transformers Revenge of the Fallen happened earlier today in Tokyo, Japan. The premiere comes to the UK at the end of the this week, hitting London on Friday and then again on Monday for the press screeing and press conference.
In the meantime, here are the photos from the Tokyo screening, which was attended by all of the stars, including Megan Fox and Shia LaBeof, and of course Bumblebee.
SlashFilm have received 6 new shots from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Thankfully there are no humans involved just the good old bots, including an impressive distant view of Devastator. There is also Bumblebee, Demolisher and Optimus Prime, who sports his “new” weaponary.
Comics Continuum has again posted the first look of a Transformers comic this time Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: Movie Adaptation #4.
With this being the last issue in thr series, there are obvious spoilers for the end of the film, sop best stay away is you do not want to ruin the end of the film. The issue is written by Simon Furman, art by Jon Davis-Hunt and a cover from Josh Nizzi. Look out for the issue next week.
