Transformers 2 To Begin Filming on June 2nd, 2008
Transformers 2 producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura has announced, in a recent interview with IESB.com that the Transformers Sequel is due to commence shooting on June 2nd, 2008.
IESB: Can you give us a quick update on Transformers 2. Is it still planned to start shooting in July of 08?
LDB: The second, June 2nd.
IESB: June 2nd?
LDB: Yep.
So this is good news to all of those who are concerned that the writer’s strike is going to have a significant negative impact on the Transformers 2 shooting schedule. Lorenzo went on to state that the June 2nd date is only a tentative one, and they will not know exactly where they are at until the writers return. So we are not out of the woods yet. Stay tuned!
Transformers 2 Teaser Posters (Fan Art)
Well, it seems we will have to settle for the fan-made variety for now. I was sent a copy of these “Transformers 2 teaser posters” this afternoon from an anonymous fan and I figured I would share them with you folks. They are pretty simple, just a bit of clever photoshopping, but I’ve got to admit that these did get my blood boiling a bit. I would imagine when the actual Transformers sequel posters do arrive, they will be a bit more imaginative than this. Not to knock this fan contribution in any way. Good work dood! What do you guys think?
Transformers 2 Delayed?
Well it appears that Michael Bay’s Transformers 2 may be pushed back from the reported June 26, 2009 release date. The Hollywood Reporter is not reporting that the release date for Transformers 2 has been downgraded to “as-yet-unslotted”. Understandably, fans are in a white-knuckled panic over fears the the Transformers sequel may be pushed back into 2010. Michael Bay has yet to officially respond to the Hollywood Reporter piece, but Bay has been know to candidly broadcast his thoughts, via his official site. Speculation regarding the effect of the Writer’s Strike on the production of Transformers 2 has obviously increased.
In related news, Bay has left the following news message for the rapid throngs of Transformers fans:
For the millions of viewers that logged on this year I want to thank you for the support. Transformers 2 will be coming soon. The new robots are really really unique and there are a lot of them this time.
I WANT EVERYONE TO HAVE A GREAT HAPPY HEALTHY NEW YEAR.
Your friend,
Michael
What a tease!
