Apparently Megan Fox is not the only actor on “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” that has less than flattering things to say about the film. Despite the fact that it made a gazillion dollars, “Fallen” is considered by many to be a big loud mess. I gotta agree to a point, but I never really expected all that much from it in terms of story, so my disappointment was perhaps tempered a bit.
Shout! Factory just sent over the specs for their upcoming “Transformers” 25th Anniversary “Matrix of Leadership” Edition Collector’s Set DVD. One word: Honking huge. And probably expensive, too.
A couple of “Transformers 3″ news for ya today, plus one exclusive clip from the upcoming “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” DVD release. After a lot of back and forth, Michael Bay has announced that “Transformers 3″ will be going into production soon for a July 2011 release, and that yes, Megan Fox will indeed be back.
From MichaelBay.com, here are the specs for the DVD and Blu-ray edition of “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen”. The movie lands on DVD October 20 in a Two-Disc Special Edition DVD and on Blu-ray format. Full specs and artwork below.
Two-Disc Special Edition DVD & Blu-ray:
But of course Michael Bay is already talking about “Transformers 3″. Why wouldn’t he? Despite persistent charges of racism, “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” is closing in on $400 million worldwide grosses in just one week of release. This thing is a behemoth, folks, and I don’t think anyone is more surprised by the film’s wild success than the studios behind the movie. Recently, Michael Bay hinted at what to expect from a TF3.
The suits and bean counters at Paramount must be robot-gasming right now, because word via DHD is that Michael Bay’s “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” is headed towards a $170-$180 million dollar 5-day weekend if their inside tracking is on the mark. The sci-fi actioner’s box office will certainly be helped by its massive Wednesday take of $60-plus million, shattering the previous record holder of $42 million held by “Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix” in 2007.
It’s been two years since the robots that were more than meets the eye made their live action debut. Despite the 720 day lapse, there’s no creaking in the joints of the Autobots or Decepticons; rust is amazingly absent from both the Transformers and the film series. What we’re given is a nifty, fantastically loud and thrilling popcorn film—one that would make Optimus Prime himself beam with Allspark pride.
Here’s something about “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” that you may have already guessed from the trailers: when you give Michael Bay $200 million dollars and tell him to go make a movie, Bay makes a movie that costs $200 million, and every cent of it can be seen on the big screen. As such, you really can’t fault “Fallen” for being what it is, and what it is is two and a half hours of things blowing up real good, giant CGI robots beating the living crap out of each other, and the occasional chuckle or two to carry you through the non-stuff blowing up/robot fighting moments. Most of that comes in the middle section, when the writers have to get that whole “plot” thing out of the way before commencing once again with the metal beatdown.
As fans of Sci-Fi and Shia LaBeouf may know, Shia got himself into a pretty bad little accident off set during the filming of “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen”. In a car accident, Shia smushed his left hand and has had multiple surgeries to weave the thing back together. So how does an action movie with a ton of running around and jumping happen when the star of the film and primary runner and jumper can’t use his hand?
It won’t be long now before the robots in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen invade our town and cities, blasting away at our fragile, fragile infrastructure. Shia and Megan will scream and run, neon coloured sports cars and 18 wheelers will do epic battle with gun metal and grey brushed steel evil robots in disguise. I would imagine no one needs more hype of this movie to really decide to go see it. We all know what we’re in for. Still, the creative types behind Michael Bay have decided to hit us with the viral video campaign, which I have provided below for your enjoyment. Transformers starts June 24th. I’ll see you there. thanks io9.
Another clip from Michael Bay’s “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen”, opening next week. In the clip, Sam (Shia LaBeouf), girlfriend Mikaela (Megan Fox), and a passenger flee some bad Decepticons. As you can see, they don’t get very far. Shoulda driven faster, Mikaela.
A new batch of images from next week’s “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen”. Yes, ROTF is opening next week, June 24, the middle of the week. Why the middle of the week? Cause it’s a movie about giant effin’ robots beating the living servos out of each other, that’s why. And cause it can. Are you excited yet? No? What are you, stupid? Anyways, check out the latest images from the movie below.
The cast of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen are really getting around. They were last in Tokyo as I understand and on Monday they were at the Odeon in Leicester Square, London. I will, with your kind permission, heavily focus the pictures on Megan Fox. I will of course throw in a few of the guys for color and contrast. Thanks ComingSoon.
Another clip from Michael Bay’s “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen”, featuring the infiltration (and dare I say, a pretty foul-mouth one at that) Decepticon name Wheelie trying to steal something from Mikaela (Megan Fox)’s workshop. So, tiny Decepticon versus Megan Fox? I’ll have to go with the Fox on this one, at least in this movie, where she’s a grease monkey. Yes, Megan Fox is playing a grease monkey. Nice one, Michael Bay, nice one…
Many mechanical gadgets, widgets and mechanisms are called but few are chosen to be the few and the proud in “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen”. Here we have a selection of those that were plucky but didn’t quite live up to the big robot standard. Via TrailerAddict.
