To be honest with you, although I run a movie site and it’s my job to know as much as I can about a movie and report it to you guys, I kind of don’t want to know that much about Michael Bay’s upcoming “Transformers 2″. I loved the first one, and it’s killing me that I’m knowing way too much about the sequel. But anyways, a guy’s gotta do what a guy’s gotta do, so here are more details about TF2′s plot, including the current state of Sam and Mikaela’s relationship, and what’s Captain Lennox (aka Josh Duhamel) been up to.

Transformers 2: Shia and Isabel Lucas on Set, Bumblebee Video
If you’re a diehard “Transformers” fan and is dying to see “Transformers 2″, then you really need to have the Transformers Live Action Movie Blog in your favorites. I don’t know how these guys are getting their stuff, but holy shit, they’re getting them by the bucketloads. The latest (actually, a few days old!) has Australian actress Isabel Lucas and star Shia LaBeouf on location along with Bumblebee. Michael Bay must have a thing for beautiful Australian actresses; Lucas follows in the footsteps of fellow Aussie Rachael Taylor, who was in the first movie.
Transformers 2: Megan Fox, Shia Labeouf, John Turturro on Set
I swear, I’m not trying to turn this site into a “Transformers 2″ only site, but it just so happens that a lot of TF2 news is coming out this Monday. The latest are pictures of the gorgeous Megan Fox and the not-all-that gorgeous John Turturro on the TF set, currently shooting at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington over the weekend. Shia Labeouf was apparently also there, but the guy who snapped the pictures didn’t get any with him.
Transformers 2: The Fallen Mythology Explained
I’ll grant you this: when I was a kid, the first TV show I saw when I ran home from school and plop down in front of the TV was Transformers. Loved it. Couldn’t get enough of it. But as it always happens, I grew up, and Transformers grew out of my life. As a result, I never picked up any of the comics (hand-drawn Transformers “transforming” in panels just didn’t quite have the thrill of seeing them doing it on the tube in motion), so I had no idea what “The Fallen” was when the subtitle for “Transformers 2″ was recently revealed as “Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen”.
Transformers 2 to be Called Revenge of the Fallen
I have to admit, “Transformers” producer Don Murphy is probably the only Hollywood producer I’ve heard of who actually participates in forums on his own site about his own movies. I’ve heard of directors doing this to get “in touch” with the fans, but producers are usually so high-falutin’ and snobbish, so much props to Murphy for his site. In any case, in one of his posts (here), Murphy links to a blog that reveals the title of TF2 to be “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen”. Murphy simply links to the site, and doesn’t say anything else, which would seem to mean it’s true — or false?
Transformers 2 Set Pictures and Videos Galore
Apparently there were a whole lot of geeks in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania who knew that Michael Bay and crew were filming “Transformers 2″ over in their little city, and they were out and about in force with digital cameras snapping way. God, I love my fellow movie geeks. As a result of all the snapping, pictures from TF2′s PA sets (said to be the opening sequence in the movie) have popped up all over the Internet. Unfortunately none of those geeks with digital cameras sent any pics my way, but I ain’t hatin’. Head on below to get your feel of TF2 set pics.
Transformers 2 Gets British with Matthew Marsden
According to MTV, British actor Matthew Marsden (pictured, left) has joined the cast of Michael Bay’s “Transformers 2″, and will be playing a British Special Forces character named Graham. Does this mean the battle with the Decepticons will be heading Across the Pond, or will the British invade our soil once again? Okay, so the former is probably more likely.
20 Robots In Transformers 2? Jazz Returns?
Does Michael Bay plan to jam 20 robots into “Transformers 2″? Maybe, according to the movie’s writer, Roberto Orci, who made a little post over at producer Don Murphy’s message board that read: “I’d love and think we could almost barely manage ten on each side, with some front and center and others as more supporting.” That brief tidbit has gotten the Internet all in aflutter, and everyone is now posting the “20 robots in Transformers 2″ bit, which I am now following suit, as, well, it would suck if I missed out on it, even if it turns out to be nothing.
Megan Fox, Everyone Back for Transformers 2?
In an article about The Office’s Rainn Wilson joining the cast of Michael Bay’s “Transformers 2″ as Sam Witwicky’s narcissistic college professor (reported here and elsewhere yesterday, by the way, ahem), The Hollywood Reporter also mentions that Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson and John Turturro have all returned for the sequel. But wait — did they really? If I read the article correctly, it seemed as if the trade was just assuming they would be back. Granted, they would be foolish not to return, but nothing I’ve read has mentioned that Megan Fox’s character would even BE in the sequel.
The Office’s Rainn Wilson Joins Transformers 2
With a first name like “Rainn”, you gotta know that this guy’s parents grew up hippies and probably lived in communes in San Francisco somewhere. In any case, Rainn Wilson is one of the stars of NBC’s The Office, where he plays Dwight Schrute. I’ve never seen The Office, although I hear it’s funny, but everything I’ve seen about it doesn’t look all that funny. In fact, the show looks painfully unfunny, but hey, what do I know. Then again, it was funny enough to get Wilson a role in “Transformers 2″.
Transformers 2 Needs College Girls
Yes, that’s right. We’re so psyched for Michael Bay’s “Transformers 2″ that we’re even posting casting calls looking for people with SAG membership and who can pass for college co-eds. What, you got something better to do with your time? Here’s the casting call sheet with descriptions of what they’re looking for. Apparently “party pictures holding a beer” is not welcome. What’s that about?
Jonah Hill Blows It, Out of Transformers 2
Seriously, what kind of idiot do you have to be, or have as your management, to allow negotiations to join an uber movie like “Transformers 2″ to “break down”? That’s exactly what happened with actor Jonah Hill, aka the fat kid sidekick with the curly hair, who was recently in talks to join Michael Bay’s massive sequel. What happened, did he demand more than his current status in Hollywood could afford?
Teresa Palmer Joins Transformers 2
With production on “Transformers 2″ gearing up for a June start, the casting is coming fast and furious. Previously, we reported that “Superbad” star Jonah Hill would be playing Sam Witwicky’s college roommate and comic foil, and now we have news that Australian actress Teresa Palmer has been cast in the movie. Palmer’s past film credits include “The Grudge 2″, and more recently, she was one of the unknowns cast in the now-defunct “Justice League of America” movie.
Jonah Hill to Join Transformers 2
Who is Jonah Hill? If you’ve seen any of Judd Apatow’s raunchy comedies, Jonah Hill inevitably plays the fat kid with the fritzy hair. See picture to your left. Yeah, that’s him. Now it appears as if Hill will be graduating from comedies to co-starring in Michael Bay’s “Transformers 2″, playing the college roommate/comic relief to Shia LaBeouf’s Sam Witwicky, who, it was recently revealed, will be attending Princeton in the sequel.
Shia LaBeouf: Transformers 2 Starts in June!
MTV News currently has an article on their site about how Shia LaBeouf got injured on the set of “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” (relax, apparently it’s not that bad, he pulled a rotator cuff in the hip, whatever that means), but they also have a little blurb from Shia about “Transformers 2″ at the end of the article. From Shia’s own mouth: “We’re gearing up for ‘Transformers’ in June.” Oh hell yeah!
