Our first clips of this came earlier in the year from Philadelphia’s Chancellor Street (though it’s meant to be Paris), with footage of Sam’s parents running down a narrow street away from some invisible but deadly threat later to be CG’d in. This video provides an excellent new angle of that scene, starting with Michael Bay and ending with Julie White and Kevin Dunn running towards us:

Missile Mania game featuring Megatron January 27th, 2009
The packaging for a Revenge of the Fallen Missile Mania game features a redesigned Megatron on its front cover, despite supposedly not being in the movie:
For more clues on Megatron’s return we need only turn to the back of the toy boxes:
Starscream:
The moment his sensor net registered Megatron going offline, Starscream knew that battle was over and the Allspark lost. He converted to vehicle mode and boosted for outer space, hoping to buy enough time to rally the Decepticon survivors. Returning from Cybertron bearing the marks won during his reign over the Decepticon army, he is cocused on conquest. With a new army behind him, he has the strength to pursue his own goals, and perhaps, when the time is right, bring Megatron back.
Not to mention the Megatron Tank mode…

Batman sequel due in 2011 January 26th, 2009
New Jersey’s Courier Post spoke to Batman Begins and The Dark Knight executive producer Michael Uslan. He expects the third Chris Nolan Batman movie to make an appearance in 2011. This seems logical to us, following a similar time frame as Begins to Knight — it gives the creative team a chance to flesh out some ideas whilst allowing Nolan to have a break from the franchise for a year or so, perhaps to work on other projects (such as The Prestige).
Uslan will be onboard as executive producer for the “Dark Knight” sequel, which he estimates will be [in] theaters by 2011. As for the identity of the next round of Batman’s supervillains and love interests, Uslan remains tight-lipped. “It’s one of those deals where if I told you, I’d have to kill you,” he says with a chuckle.
Heath Ledger wins “Outstanding Actor in a Supporting Role” at Screen Actors Guild Awards January 26th, 2009
Last night was the 15th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards, usually seen as a very good indication of who the Oscar winners shall be. Heath Ledger’s The Joker pulled through fending off competition from the likes of Downey Jr. and Josh Brolin:
Outstanding Actor In A Supporting Role
Heath Ledger — The Dark Knight
Phillip Seymour Hoffman — Doubt
Dev Patel — Slumdog Millionaire
Robert Downey Jr. — Tropic Thunder
Josh Brolin — Milk
WINNER: Heath Ledger — The Dark Knight
The signs are looking good, and given TDK’s Best Picture and Best Director snubs, all our chips and Heath Ledger’s are in on this one.
TDK also brought home a second award from the SAGs for “Outstanding Performance by a Stunt Ensemble in a Motion Picture”.
New Poster to appear in “Confessions of a Shopoholic” January 25th, 2009
The new poster for the Prince of Persia movie will first be appearing in a rather unusual place, the rather cheeky Jerry Bruckheimer has put it into his new movie, “Confessions of a Shopoholic”, which’ll be the first place you can see it, so report MTV:
Fans looking for a first look at the poster art for the upcoming, “Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time” will have to head to the movie theater to see it, though it won’t be in the place they might expect.
Mega-Producer Jerry Bruckheimer has hidden the poster inside his latest film, “Confessions of a Shopaholic”, appearing as a Times Square advertisement about halfway into the film. It joins posters for a number of other Bruckheimer productions, including the upcoming “G-Force”, though “Persia” is unique in that it marks the first time the films’ artwork has been seen anywhere.
Prominently featured on the poster is lead actor Jake Gyllenhaal in full-costume as Prince Dastan.
