Eastern State Penitentiary Blog July 21st, 2008

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.

Chevy Volt in Revenge of the Fallen July 10th, 2008

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.

The Transforming Aircraft Carrier — Concept Pics July 8th, 2008

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.

Possible Revenge of the Fallen poster June 30th, 2008

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.

Final Day at Princeton June 26th, 2008

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:

Posing with Megan Fox June 26th, 2008

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.

Megan Fox kindly poses for a photo

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.

Video of Frenzy transformer attacking car June 24th, 2008

These great videos come from Philly­Film­Girl, the first shows Megan Fox and Ramon Rodriguez stretch­ing on the pave­ment, noth­ing too fancy. How­ever the sec­ond video is really inter­est­ing — here we see a pup­pet like crea­ture attack­ing the wind­screen of a car, which also has a whole punched through it. This is clearly a small Trans­former, most likely the return of the fre­netic Frenzy.

Pic­ture from TFW2005:

Frenzy returns

More Princeton Images June 24th, 2008

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:
