Transformers and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen writter Roberto Orci has recently been interviewed by Sci Fi Wire, who have tried to get bits and pieces out of him.
Orci doges the question about Arcee being in the sequel but confirms that Soundwave will be appearing, but did not spill any details on what his transformation would be. He also declined comment on whether Cybertron would be featured.
Michael Bay’s forum Administrator Nelson, has posted what could be considered a hint towards when we will get the first trailer for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. In his message, he says “no” to a trailer at Hasbro’s panel at the San Diego Comic-Con but for a trailer to come out in November.
Of course, this could be part of Michael Bay’s misinformation campaign, but we’ll find out in a couple of weeks.
IESB.net is reporting that Hasbro will be showing some early footage from Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen during their panel at the San Diego Comic-Con 2008. The reason for Hasbro showing the footage, and not Paramount is because they have no plans represent Transformers (or G.I. Joe) at the convention.
SDCC 08 is taking place from 24th-27th July.
It has been revealed that the Chevrolet Volt will be making an appearance in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen next year. It is clear if the car will be a Transformer, just a car to blow up or a Transformer to blow up.
The car will be appearing at trade shows in September, when more filming is due to take place, so expect more news on this vehicle then.
Rainn Wilson has now appeared in some videos, as well as the Saturn Astra, and the Camera Go Kart filming all the action. The Astra still has the hole in the windscreen, first shown in the Frenzy-like-bot videos from yesterday.
The other videos show some more of Shia LaBoeuf walking around on the campus.
Photos taken today have shown actor Rainn Wilson, who plays the professor in Sam’s Astronomy class, on the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen set. Transformers Lice Action Blog have also received a report of the scene, confirming Shia’s involvement.
Dark Horizons have also had an interview with Wilson, briefly taking about his role and working with Michael Bay.
Question: You haven’t signed up for anything else for your next hiatus, have you?
Wilson: No. I mean, this hiatus, there really was nothing shooting, because there’s this potential SAG strike happening. So there are not really any movies happening right now. But I have The Rocker to promote and I’m doing a couple days on The Transformers II.
Question: Oh, really? As whom?
Wilson: As a robot. No. As a professor. But maybe he’s a robot. Maybe I’ll just pretend he’s a robot, or I’ll play him as a robot.
Question: Have you ever worked with Michael Bay before?
Wilson: I have not worked with Michael Bay before. And I think that is a hilarious, hysterical match-up. Is Rainn Wilson and Michael Bay. It’s like – I was at the MTV Awards last night, and Paris Hilton and their boyfriend wanted their pictures taken with me. And I – as the camera clicked, I said, “This one is for the ages.” I love the idea of Rainn Wilson and Paris Hilton, together at last.
At a time, it was easy calling the Transformers sequel, Transformers 2, but now, the Transformers Live Action Movie Blog are reporting that the correct title for the film is Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen instead of “Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen”.
Screenwriter Roberto Orci has confirmed that the sequel will indeed be leaving out the “2” from the title and keeping this new name.
