After the recent filming at the Eastern State Pen, the site’s official blog has updated with some details and images of the shoot.
We were thrilled to welcome the cast and crew of Transformers 2 to Eastern State Penitentiary!
The sequel to last summer’s blockbuster recently filmed scenes in Eastern State’s Cellblock 7 as well as outside in the Industrial Building Courtyard. You can see in the top photo the massive helium-filled balloon light that was used to simulate moonlight. The next photo shows the cast and crew on the set created at Eastern State. The final photo shows the car cast as “Bumblebee” exiting Eastern State during filming.
While on site, Shia LaBoeuf, Megan Fox and Michael Bay enjoyed a tour of Eastern State including some areas used during Terror Behind the Walls, including Cellblock 12, the home of Lock Down.
Automobile blog, Motortrend, are reporting that General Motor’s electric powered “Chevy Volt” will be making an appearance in the Transformers sequel, “Revenge of the Fallen”. What role the vehicle shall have in the movie is unknown.
Tim Flattery (IMDB), concept designer for the original Transformers movie adaptation, has updated his online portfolio to include some new Transformers concept art, most importantly including a first look at what might have been a huge, towering, transforming aircraft carrier — set to wreak havoc on all that stands in its path.
Check out Tim’s portfolio for more concepts that didn’t make it into the first movie.
EDIT: This has been confirmed a fake.
Seibertron have posted a camera phone shot of what looks like a Revenge of the Fallen poster, though it is blurry and hard to make out. It is most likely a fake, but on the small off chance that it is not, I have posted it here:
The text at the top seems to read “… begins”. The autobot in the forefront is quite clearly one that we have not seen before, yet it is also difficult to identify.

The Prox Blog were at hand to see the final day of filming at Princeton, capturing a steamy encounter between Megan Fox and Shia as the lady rides a spruced up red and yellow bike, most likely an Aprilia RS125.
Today was the final day of shooting with most of McCosh Courtyard blocked off. We’ve got a pretty skilled photographer on our hands — here’s a shot of Megan Fox on a motorcycle kissing Shia LaBeouf while Director Michael Bay watches. They both play lead roles in “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” and their romance (obviously) plays out in the film.
They also have a nicely composed shot of Ramon, Megan and Isabel Lucas sitting together, presumably waiting for something:
Movie Insider reader Cameron Busacca got a chance to catch up on the action and hang out with the girls this week, topping it with a nice set report for us.
Shia LaBeouf came on set around 8 a.m. to film what appeared to be a “move-in” day scene right next to the Princeton University Chapel. After several takes, the crew moved out onto the street to shoot a few stunt scenes on Washington Street. Most of the cars looked brand new (there was no futuristic Chevy Camaro in sight, which was a bummer) but after a few takes, one of the cars had bullet holes and a smashed windshield, which led me to believe they were filming a chase scene. Shia’s stunt double nearly got hit several times by another car, and the crew shot the scene from different angles up and down Washington as if all of the shots were going to be pieced together later. And even though the stunt drivers went really fast, you could tell that they speed it up even more in the editing process.
After the first stunt was over, we saw our first sighting of Megan Fox. They were getting a shot of her driving from inside the car but she lost control and slammed it into a curb. Don’t worry, she’s perfectly fine. She got out of the car smiling and laughing and walked it off. Shia, on the other hand, hadn’t stopped chain smoking since the end of the first scene and every time they broke from filming he seemed to have a really bad attitude.

Shia had turned us down when we asked for a picture earlier, but after seeing Megan take a picture with another fortunate group of guys, we walked up to her. Her people immediately shot down the request, but she very graciously and kindly agreed to take one more. We took a picture with her and proceeded to ask her a few questions about the movie. Shia was also there but added nothing to the conversation.
Bibliocone has posted some shots of a strange masked man getting into the back of the Saturn, coinciding with some in-car yelling:
Just Jared have posted a set of pictures showing both Shia LaBoeuf and Megan Fox on set at Princeton:
