An eBay auc­tion has been spot­ted sell­ing the Demol­isher toy boxed, com­plete with an image of the packet and the character’s descrip­tion. View the orig­i­nal auc­tion, view another live auc­tion to pur­chase Demol­isher.

Demol­ishor isn’t very bright, but he knows when to fight, and when to run and hide. Arriv­ing on Earth to find Mega­tron destroyed, hid­ing seemed like the best option. Since then, he’s taken a few smaller Decep­ti­cons under his pro­tec­tion, and built quite a lit­tle com­mu­nity. It hasn’t been easy hid­ing among the humans that creep like a dis­ease over this planet, but he and his com­pan­ions are con­tent until a new Decep­ti­con leader emerges to guide them back to glory.

/Film are report­ing that the AICN James McTeigue report was in fact false:

Sorry to get you guys all excited but I have just got­ten con­fir­ma­tion from two inde­pen­dent sources that the report was com­pletely false. I don’t know if an inter­view with James McTeigue actu­ally aired on RTL1 or not (I’m guess­ing not) but The Wachowski Broth­ers have def­i­nitely never had any talks with DC or Warner Bros to helm a Super­man film. This is confirmed.

Speak­ing with MTV, Brett Rat­ner revealed that he expects the new Conan lead to be an unknown actor with the poten­tial to be iconic:

“I believe it should be an unknown,” Rat­ner hinted to MTV News. “Conan is kind of iconic. It’s kind of like when you do Superman.”

“Grow­ing up, my favorite comic book was ‘Conan,’” added Rat­ner. “[It] was the first comic book I ever read.”

How­ever, Rat­ner is well aware that tak­ing the reins on an all-new “Conan” project is a task wor­thy of the bar­bar­ian him­self. After all, the orig­i­nal series of films hold a spe­cial place in fanyboy’s hearts, and replac­ing Arnold Schwarzeneg­ger in the title role is darn-near sac­ri­lege. But Rat­ner, ever the opti­mist, believes the time is right for “Conan” to pil­lage the local mul­ti­plex once again.

“Look, it’s dif­fi­cult to fill those shoes,” insisted Rat­ner, “But they came up with a new Bat­man, they came up with a new James Bond, you know?”

After build­ing up some rap­port on the first movie and pro­vid­ing GM with pub­lic­ity and aware­ness of their newly redesigned Camaro, for Trans­form­ers 2 Michael Bay was given the oppor­tu­nity to pick and choose from GM’s array of con­cept cars:

“I didn’t want to share with him Camaro unless he told me more about the movie,” Well­burn said. “There was a lit­tle nego­ti­at­ing, and then there it was.” The suc­cess of the Camaro’s appear­ance, which helped GM by rais­ing aware­ness of the newly redesigned car, lit­er­ally opened some big doors for Bay in “Revenge of the Fallen.”

“When it comes to the sequel, it was dif­fer­ent because the rela­tion­ship had built quite a bit,” Well­burn explained. “Michael came to Detroit, and he and I just walked the stu­dios. He was look­ing for one, maybe two new vehi­cles. He came here, and he pretty much had it in his head what the sequel would be. I’ll never for­get it. One third of the way through the tour he said, ‘I need a notepad. There are just too many designs that we may want to use in the movie.’”

Some mod­els, like the Beat and Trax, which will appear as the Auto­bots Skids and Mud­flap for “Revenge of the Fallen,” even affected how the char­ac­ters functioned.

“That day that he vis­ited us and walked the halls of the stu­dios, the movie devel­oped and in some ways changed,” he revealed. “[Bay] was inspired by things like the two small cars that maybe could work together in some way. That’s all I can say right now.”

Via TForm­ers, this videos shows the Today Show walk­ing through some of the toys seen at this years Toy Fair:

Mean­while E! Online have posted a video review of the toys on shoe:

Of the new Trans­form­ers mer­chan­dise at Toy Fair 09 were a set of key chains, with their front designs pix­e­lated out to pre­vent reveal­ing the details of the char­ac­ters. Action Figs have posted a gallery of these with the notice­able Bum­ble­bee, Starscream etc — there are two notable odd­i­ties how­ever, one mys­te­ri­ous unnamed ‘New Char­ac­ter’ and a fig­ure labeled as Opti­mus Prime that doesn’t match his usual robot form. TFW also have a pair of sil­hou­ettes that match these two designs.

The source of these sil­hou­ettes states that the robot form of Opti­mus Prime is in com­bi­na­tion with Jet­fire, look­ing closely you can see the wing out­line, boost­ers and a canon — this com­bi­na­tion has pre­vi­ously been seen on the Leg­ends class toys, although that arrange­ment looks very different.

The unnamed char­ac­ter has claws and is grey, I’d hes­i­tate a guess at Megatron.

“Right now, we’re not doing Iron Man 2,” Rourke told us grimly.

That’s the word from Vul­ture at Fash­ion Week (via /Film). We’d pre­vi­ous reported that Rourke play­ing Crim­son Dynamo was ‘inac­cu­rate’ via Downey Jr., but that was pre­sumed a Crim­son Dynamo inac­cu­racy — the lead­ing rumor being that Whiplash would be the replace­ment. We’ve also heard that Rourke was offered only $250k for the role.

It’s not off the cards yet, but it’s head­ing down that path — espe­cially with his new role in Sylvester Stallone’s ‘The Expendables’.

Iron Man 2 really is hav­ing cast­ing and pro­duc­tion night­mares what with Samuel Jack­son not happy with his pay and aban­don­ing the Nick Fury role, Emily Blunt being sched­uled out of play­ing Black Widow, Ter­rence Howard being replaced by Don Chea­dle and Jon Favreau not happy with his pay deal either.

Is it cause enough to spec­u­late that Iron Man 2 is hav­ing fund­ing prob­lems dur­ing the ‘eco­nomic down­turn’, or are they just tight­en­ing their belts a lit­tle too much?

TLAMB reader Nige spot­ted a new Revenge of the Fallen poster. This one is slightly less mys­te­ri­ous and a lot more cheesy, show­ing Shia and Megan run­ning through explo­sions against a pyra­mids back­drop, with Opti­mus Prime stand­ing behind it all. The most inter­est­ing aspect of the poster is the fig­ure of a Trans­former stand­ing atop of the cen­tral pyra­mid, chan­nel­ing a beam of light upwards, pre­sumed to be The Fallen.
