Transformers 2 Filming Underway

[Porky]

A set of photos sent over by a friend this afternoon might lead you to believe that the filming of Transformers 2 is getting close to being underway. The pictures were snapped from a camera phone in Culver City, and they are clearly Saleen Mustangs with the Decepticon logo on the side. This just might prove that even if things have not started yet, they are getting close. We reported not long ago that Michael Bay worked on the story during the Writer’s Strike and that writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman were excited to get things underway.

The most recent update was that the script is currently in the working stage, with the production set to start in June, but I don’t think that Mr. Bay would let that stop him from blowing some stuff up. As well, you will notice that there are multiple instances of Barricade, the Saleen Mustang Decepticon. Conspiracy theorists would say that maybe Transformers 2 features multiple versions of Barricade — but that is a pretty wild theory. I would imagine it has to do with needing more than one for special effects purposes — you know, just in case one should get blown up. Which would be, to say the least, awesome.





So what do you think? Is this a significant discovery, leading you to believe that Michael Bay is getting the production of Transformers 2 in gear? Or is this just some dude with 3 replicas? I doubt that it is the latter.

I'd say it's underway. I remember watching an interview with Michael Bay not too long ago that said regardless of whether or not there was an actor strike they were going to start production

^^ yea word

[AboveTheRim]

[PiMpDaWg23]

1st One Was Okay.

[Lil B-Z]

could be a fan wit da car hope it in production
but star scream was the only Decepticon that got away ( got to watch after the credits) so why would they need the police car ( can't remember the name) in the second movie

get unicron

[Jooolieeezy]

Hopefully it's underway.

[ricolocc]

hopefully it is

if they are bring back barricade then it leads me to think that some of the story line might show more of what the decepticons did on earth when the first movie took place. im not saying the whole movie but just a little flashback or whatever. but i do hope they are starting the movie. the first was one of my favs

[rollin phillies]

i hope they make it.

i was dissapointed with the 1st movie, it focused mainly on the "relationship" between shia and megan... rather than the transformers :s

Transformers Sequel
Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg are expected to return as director and executive producer for Transformers 2, and Paramount has announced a June 26, 2009 release.[102] Shia LaBeouf,[103] Megan Fox[104] and Peter Cullen are signed on to return.[105] In February 2008, Bay said that the Dinobots would not appear, but promised various Cybertronian species would be introduced.[106] Ehren Kruger was hired to write the script, alongside the returning Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman.[107] Filming will begin on June 2, 2008: to avoid delays caused by the 2007–08 WGA strike, Bay wrote a sixty-page "template", which was based on an outline written by Kruger, Orci and Kurtzman and was turned in the day before the strike. The writers will continue to rewrite until shooting starts.[108] IDW Publishing will release its own comic book sequel to the film, Transformers Movie Sequel: The Reign of Starscream. The first issue is due in April 2008.[109]

i thought starscream, barricade and scorpinox got away. Cuz I watched the movie so many times and I followed the storyline. could of sworn they didnt get killed. maybe beatin but not killed.

(Starscream) Got away and went out of space - seen after the credits
Movie Timeline: 2:16:41

(Barricade) Was never seen completely destroyed. - during the chase with the autobots with bonecrusher on the highway. Or probably a regular cop car who knows? Movie Timeline: 1:49:52

(Scorpinox) Was never seen completely destroyed either. - got away in the sands at Qtar. I think they only got his tail. Movie Timeline: 44:35
