MTV are really lapping up the Transformers Revenge of the Fallen buzz, giving us a lot of great interview snippets and movie clues. This time around it’s the turn of Isabel Lucas and Ramon Rodriguez.
- Ramon Rodriguez plays “Leo Spitz”, Sam’s roommate and owner of a paranoid conspiracies website about aliens and robots:
“I end up getting sucked into [Sam’s] crazy world with real robots and finding out he’s involved in the real thing,” Rodriguez said. “My complete world is flipped.”
- Isabel Lucas plays “Alice”,
“The character of Alice is more the seductress,” Lucas said. “She’s got mysterious intentions that we don’t really know about.”
As for Bay’s filming techniques:
Bay brought a couple of industrial-size fans to the Egyptian desert that blew 100-mile-per-hour, sand-filled winds at Rodriguez’s face. He ended up dislocating his shoulder and needed to have his eyes flushed out for 45 minutes. Another time he had to sit perfectly still as a huge metal spike pierced the roof of his car, perilously close to his head. In those moments, he was not so much acting as reacting to a very real sense of fear.
Could that 100 MPH fan perhaps be simulating Devastator’s massive vortex? We’ve seen him being pulled about before:
