Berlin Premiere TV Special

About a week ago was the Berlin, Germany premiere of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and sense then a TV special aired about the movie. Below are the two parts of the video which for obvious reasons is in German but some of the stars responses can be heard. If you don't speak the language it’s still good just to see the starts walking the carpet, fan reactions and things like that (Megan's red dress alone might be worth it to you). Thanks to David and Transformers Sci-Fi Guide for the links.

IMAX Brings Extra Minute of Footage and More

Apparently there was a Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen press conference at the Four Season in Los Angeles on Friday. The conference is probably part of the run up to the US premiere of the movie at the LA Film Festival on the 22nd. Attending was Michael Bay, Ramon Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel and Kevin Dunn.

As part of the Q&A, Michael Bay repeated his Obama story clarifying that Obama's "role" in the movie is he is mentioned as the current President of the United States. They also discussed Shia's continuing to work with the hand injury (and special hand cast that was built), Ramon Rodriguez separating a shoulder while filming (that Bay didn't know about), and that the IMAX cut adds about a minute of extra footage. The videos are from The DishRag (via MB.com). The conference seemed very relaxed but so far have not found video of the whole thing. Five videos below in the playlist.

ComingSoon has what is essentially a transcript of the press conference here.

Cast on London Blue Carpet

Plejada, a Polish site (I think) has posted a video with brief interviews with the cast of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen at the London premiere as they walk the blue carpet. The interviews include Ramon Rodriguez, Shia LaBeouf, Tyrese Gibson, Michael Bay and Megan Fox. John Turturro was there but he did the press conference thing and generally appears to prefer avoiding the spotlight.

Click here to watch the video. Thanks to Hanna for the link.

London Premiere ROTF Press Conference

Below are five videos that show the press conference for the London premiere of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen on June 16th, 2009 that TheTransformers.net has posted. The conference was attended by Michael Bay, Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, and John Turturro. Overall it is pretty interesting as they discussed many different aspects of shooting the film such as shooting in Egypt, the special effects and Shia's various injuries. In also, I found more blue carpet footage of the cast.

I finally decided to do something slightly more useful with my YouTube channel and as part of that created a playlist for the 11 videos (5 for the conference, 6 for the blue carpet) as an alternative to posting all 11 at once which can get clunky. Give it a try and let me know if this works better. Thanks to Hitman450 for the link.

Transformers 2 Moscow Premiere Videos

Next stop on the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen promotional train was Moscow, Russia for the premiere held on June 16th. Below are five videos of Bay and company walking the carpet. Megan Fox continues to show remarkable consistency with style something that Hollywood starlets tend to fail at. Also a rare video appearance from Tyrese Gibson and Josh Duhamel as they appear to be enjoying themselves and joking around. I am not sure what location is next as the US premiere isn't until June 22nd but I assume any day now the cast will start appearing on stateside talk shows to promote the movie.

ROTF Berlin Premiere Video

From serieasten.tv is a news report from the Berlin Premiere of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen on June 15th (or 14th not sure). Most of the report is in German, but the responses to questions to the actors and Bay is in English. Shia talks about growing up on Transformers ("the male Barbie") and GameBoy. Personally I like the huge fragmented Decepticon symbol you see in the background in some shots. I previously posted links to pictures from the event here.

Sadly no option to embed, so click here to view the video.

Transformers 2 London Premiere

Early today in London was the premiere of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen with most of the cast (no Isabel Lucas) on hand for the celebration. Below are videos of the blue Autobot carpet and links to Bay, Shia, and Fox signing autographs.

As for pictures, have them too. Megan Fox continues to dazzle in her black dress and it seems everyone is having a good time. Thanks to Ali for the links.

ROTF Berlin Premiere

The world tour for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen premieres continues. The last few stops after Seoul have been Spain, Rome, Paris, and now Berlin. Tomorrow is London followed by Moscow. Below is video found by MichaelBay.com of Bay, Shia Labeouf, and Megan Fox as they walk the Berlin red carpet.

For pictures from the Paris premiere, click here. Bay's site also has a few pics from the various premieres here. Megan Fox continues to look outstanding at each premiere proving that over the top dresses are not necessary to look good on the red carpet. I can't help but wonder how many signatures the main trio will sign before all is said and done.

Bay Honored By Transformers Inventor

MichaelBay.com reports that while in Japan for the world premiere of Transformers: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, the director was honored with a Transformer statue for his work with the franchise. The statue was given to him by the father of the Transformers Koujin Ohno. What you see on the status is the G1 Optimus Prime from 25 years ago standing with his movie counterpart.

Transformers 2 Seoul Premiere Video, Pictures and Irritated Press (Updated)

Wednesday, the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen press tour stopped in Seoul, South Korea to premiere the film in that country. Pictures from the event can be found here and videos below (found by TFormers).

The appearance didn't start to well according to a press report, in part because of the rain but because "Director Michael Bay and the two leads Megan Fox and Shia LaBeouf were more than two hours tardy for a special screening of “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.”" This led to a press walkout the next day when they where late again for a press conference. Thanks to Katie for the link.

Right now the cast is in Rome, Italy for that country's premiere but don't when that is event occurs. After that they will head to Spain.








Update:Michael Bay commented on the press walkout.

We had too much scheduled that day and traveled from another country. We are so sorry for this. We then got stuck in crazy traffic and yes we were late to the premiere. The entrance to the cinema had 600 Korean fans standing in the rain for two hours. These fans were among the greatest I have ever experienced.

Extended Cut of Tokyo World Premiere

A new extended cut of the Tokyo World Premiere video for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is now up that includes an additional two minutes of footage that shows the stage being built and the press conference with Bay and the cast. Of note is a nervous Isabel Lucas who is still getting her sea legs for this level of attention, something the rest of the cast are now well versed in thanks to the first movie's press tour.

Transformers 2 Tokyo Premiere Video, Spoilers (Updated)

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen has made its official worldwide debut in Tokyo, Japan with the "human" cast and director Bay in attendance. There was also a rather smoky filled and "dramatic" appearance by Bumblebee that probably wouldn't fly in the states. In addition, below are a few spoilers about the film from someone at the premiere as they write about a few plot beats and the Transformers voices, look, and how used in the film. Thanks to Marduk for the video link and Bas for the spoiler link.

Update: Pictures of the cast from the premiere. Long story short, the ladies looked amazing and Shia needs to shave that mess off his face. Not sure what is next on the premiere train but assume it is the London Premiere on the 15th. TFormers GettyImages


Below are spoilers, now in invisio-text so highlight to read. I would have done it to begin with but honestly didn't thing it revealed anything that wasn't already pretty obvious from the trailers, novels, and comics but comments here and elsewhere indicate that was a false assumption.
Spoilers:

Ok guys just got back! Don't have much time to post, don't wanna miss the train but here's some quick stuff.

Movie was incredible, I liked it much more than the first! More action, more robots, less humans! Though there are some lame sexual inuendos like Wheelie humping Megan's leg.

Anyway, Bay and the actors came right into the theater and introduced the film. I was tempted to scream "Don Murphy Stooges #1" but I didn't want to get led out by security!

The VA thing in the credits was way too fast, sorry guys. The Fallen was Todd something. Welker does voice Soundwave, and Devastator too. Devastator has one line, screaming his name. Soundwave only has a few lines but he speaks English. But he never comes down to earth and never turns into a robot. Bleah. Very little screen time, but at least he doesn't get exploded which leaves things open for the third movie.

Mostly English, not much cybertronian.

The Twins were lame. As in the "bust a cap in you ass" stereotype. I could've done without them.

Jetfire was comic relief. He has a British accent and reminded me of a Monty Python character. He doesn't "combine" with Prime in the normal sense, he gets fatally wounded and rips out his spark, killing himself so Prime can use his parts.

Wheelie is nothing like G1 Wheelie. He kinda reminds me of Rattrap.

Lots of kitchen bots. One was a Samurai too. Bludgeon?

Only named Constructicon is Rampage, and he is red.

Megatron is revived by some Constructicons and "The Doctor."

Sideways never transforms, he is cut in half by Sideswipe in the first battle scene in car mode. Sideswipe is cool. Ravage is cool too.

There was a bot that looked like Blackout but he was not named. Blackout himself was never revived so I can't say it was him. He did not speak and was not named in the credits. In fact in the last battle scene there were tons of, well, "repaints," basically reused animation. So even after Devastator forms, there are still constructicons running around. And some Protoforms. I even saw a truck that looked like Bonecrusher...though I never saw him in robot mode. Scorponok is in the final battle too and is killed by Jetfire in about 2 seconds.

There are three motorcycles, but they appear to be named collectively Arcee. Not much screen time/lines for them anyway.

The term "Matrix of Leadership" is used, it's a key that operates a device to draw energy from the sun.

End spoilers.
