Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is an upcoming science fiction film due for release on June 26, 2009. It is the sequel to 2007's Transformers, which was the first live action Transformers film. Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg return respectively as director and executive producer, while Shia LaBeouf reprises the role of Sam Witwicky, the human caught in the war between Autobots and Decepticons. The film introduces many more robots and the scope has been expanded to numerous countries, the most important of which is Egypt.

The main hurdle in getting the film produced was overcoming the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike, as well as possible strikes by the Directors Guild of America and the Screen Actors Guild. Bay met his shooting date with the help of previsualization and a scriptment by his writers Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman, and series newcomer Ehren Kruger. Shooting from May to November 2008 predominantly took place in the United States, including the majority of scenes set in outside countries, a minimum of which was conducted in those actual nations.



Cast and characters

Humans

* Shia LaBeouf plays Sam Witwicky, the teenager who killed Megatron. He attends an East Coast college to learn astronomy. On July 27, 2008, LaBeouf was involved in a car crash and had to undergo hand surgery. The character getting burned in the story was an unrelated decision. LaBeouf said production was only delayed by two days after his accident because Bay made up for it by filming second unit scenes, and he recovered from the accident a few weeks earlier than expected, allowing him to return to the set.[48] Bay had suggested the hand injury will be written into the story, but Orci said on-set rewrites were done to protect his hand for the remainder of the shoot.Towards the end of filming though, LaBeouf injured his eye when he hit a prop, which required seven stitches. He resumed filming two hours later.

* Megan Fox plays Mikaela Banes, Sam's girlfriend, who cannot afford to attend college with him.[46] Fox had lost a lot of weight for her role in Jennifer's Body, and had to gain ten pounds within three weeks. She explained "Michael [Bay] doesn't like skinny girls."

* Josh Duhamel plays Captain William Lennox, an ally of the Autobots.Since the first film Lennox has become part of an international taskforce battling Decepticons with the Autobots.

* Tyrese Gibson plays Robert Epps, an ally of the Autobots and member of Lennox's team. He has been promoted to the position of Master Sergeant.

* John Turturro plays Reggie Simmons, former agent of the terminated Sector 7 unit, which monitored Transformer activity on Earth. Turturro was allowed to climb the real pyramids during filming.

* Matthew Marsden plays Graham, a member of the United Kingdom Special Forces who joins Lennox's team. Marsden grew up reading the comic book and loved the first film. Bay was impressed with his audition and decided to increase the character's screentime.

* Isabel Lucas plays Alice, a new character who goes to Sam's college.
* Ramon Rodriguez plays Leo.

* Steve Tom has a "principal" role, according to his website.

* Kevin Dunn and Julie White play Ron and Judy Witwicky, Sam's parents. Orci wrote, "Love them! Gotta have them back." He confirmed they learned the truth about the Transformers while off-screen in the last film.

Rainn Wilson cameos as a university professor, while Kym Whitley has an unnamed part. Bay wanted Amaury Nolasco to return as soldier Jorge Figueroa, who was wounded by Scorponok in the first film, but Nolasco was not able to participate due to schedule conflicts (he may appear in a third film).

Autobots

* Peter Cullen voices Autobot leader Optimus Prime. He retains his alternate mode of a blue Peterbilt truck with red flame decals. Cullen recorded a voiceover for the opening scene in August 2008, but began the majority of voice work in November. A live action cameo has been written for Cullen.

* Mark Ryan voices Bumblebee, the Autobot who befriended Sam and disguised himself as his fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro. Ryan also continues his role as stand-in for the robots on set.

* Ironhide, the Autobot weapons specialist who transforms into a GMC Topkick. Jess Harnell voiced him in the first film.

* Ratchet, the Autobot medic who transforms into a search and rescue Hummer H2. Robert Foxworth voiced him in the first film.

* Arcee, an Autobot with a feminine personality and appearance, who can separate into three motorcycles. Arcee was dropped from the first film as the writers felt there was not enough time to explain her "gender", but she and several other female Transformers appeared in the first film's toy line and tie-in comics.Orci stated the issue could just be ignored in the film.

* "The Twins". According to leaked daily call sheets Michael Bay claimed he faked,[69] they begin the film by combining into an ice cream van and later accompany Bumblebee to find Jetfire at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center.[55] By that point they have reformatted into a Chevrolet Beat and Chevrolet Trax. The Beat's license plate reads "Skids", possibly indicating its final name, while the other Twin's name will be determined in post-production, as the dialogue can be re-recorded with the animation. Skids was mentioned by the other Autobots in the Transformers: The Reign of Starscream movie sequel comics.

* Sideswipe, an Autobot Chevrolet Corvette "Centennial Concept".

* Jolt, a blue Chevrolet Volt. Hasbro previously used the Jolt name for a Decepticon in the first film's toy line.

* Jetfire, an Autobot SR-71 Blackbird. He was a Decepticon, but his wounds and age have made him choose to ally with Optimus. He can combine with Optimus, an idea previously seen in the Transformers: Armada series

Decepticons

* Megatron, the Decepticon leader. Killed and thrown into the Laurentian Abyss, he is resurrected as a Cybertronian tank. He was voiced by Hugo Weaving in the first film.

* Starscream, the air commander who flew into space at the end of the previous film. Orci confirmed he will have more dialogue. He transformed into an F-22 Raptor and was voiced by Charlie Adler. Chris Mowry, writer of the comic book prequels, stated Starscream differs from his 1980s incarnation because "His motivations are more for the species. He's definitely at odds with what Prime and Megatron have been doing. He thinks that they’ve both been consumed with greed, for their own selfish reasons, but as he finds out, his plans start to fall through as he’s kind of becoming overwhelmed with the same greed that they had."

* Soundwave, Megatron's communications expert and his most loyal soldier.[3] He transforms into a Cybertronian satellite. The concept artists also designed an Earth form of a Chevrolet Silverado for him to upgrade into, which Orci stated was dropped.[80] In the 1980s toyline, Soundwave was a tape deck. The filmmakers had tried to work him into the first film twice, and these roles eventually evolved into Blackout (a MH-53 Pave Low helicopter) and Frenzy (who changed into a CD Player and later into a mobile phone). The latter character was particularly thought to be too different from the original.
o Ravage, a minion of Soundwave. Hasbro said he has a "raw" beast mode.
o A puppet, with a body resembling Frenzy, a cat like face, dreadlocks, and a bird-like beak, was spotted on set.

* Barricade, a Saleen S281 police car, will return after disappearing in the first film. Jess Harnell voiced him in the first film.

* An Audi R8.

* The Constructicons, several construction vehicles who can combine into a single robot known as Devastator. The name Devastator was mistakenly given to Brawl, a tank, in the first film. The name Bonecrusher, who was one of the Constructicons in the 1980s and Transformers: Universe, was also used for a Decepticon killed in the first film. The original Constructicon names Scrapper and Mixmaster appeared as drone units in the Transformers movie video game. Orci stated during writing neither character will be resurrected though. The names of them haven't been revealed yet.

Others

* The Fallen. He is based on a character introduced in the second Transformers: The War Within comic book (2003). He was one of the original thirteen Transformers, and became a servant of Unicron. Bay described the Fallen as "apocalyptic".

Lorenzo di Bonaventura said that in total, there are around forty robots in the film. There will be some robots who can transform into weapons,and others who may retain their Cybertronian forms.

YOUR WRONG, THEY HAVE A GOOD CAST, my fav is josh duhamel

Rumor - No Mega Tron

Empire Online, to promote their magazine, posted a few pictures from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen set but sadly not their article. "Alienbot" provided a summary of some of the information in the article:

- Bay and LaBeouf confirm the Fallen is a separate character.
- Egyptian hieroglyphics ...turn out to be depictions of Transformers who visited Earth.
- Bay claims Megatron is not coming back and the tank is just a new toy.
- Around 40 robots.
- Budget is $200 million.
- Ramon Rodriguez is the one holding on for dear life to a pole while cars are flung.
- Devastator appears at the pyramid, he's probably 50 feet tall because that's the height of the camera crane they used on location.

It looks like Empire was able to get some good bits of info, likely because their reporter knew what questions to ask while the USA Today one was probably rather clueless on the whole thing.

Now I know people will want to say "misdirection!!" but as a general rule of thumb, lying to credentialed press (vs. a fan site) is just a bad idea and not something even Michael Bay is going to risk doing (just makes promoting the movie later harder).

Transformers visiting ancient Earth (and not conquering it?) should make for an interesting story line. Makes you wonder if the Fallen is found here and woken versus arriving and starting to do violent things. The Fallen as a separate character makes the most sense and personally I am relieved. Just returning a dead TF doesn't sound nearly as interesting. The idea that Megatron doesn't return actually surprises me a great deal but I do like the idea of just moving forward with new problems and new villains but that doesn't explain the leaked Megatron images.

As for 40 Transformers, my cheat sheet has around 28 TFs currently listed, the Decepticon list is probably missing half the cast so 40 sounds like a very plausible number at this point. Further confirmation of Devastator is always good but I will be glad when more details about him comes out (how many TFs, design, etc). I just hope the trailer (whenever it comes) teases at this and more.

i think jazz is suppost to be in it

:cool:Nice post, very informative. Can't wait to see it:cool:
