Source:Superhero Hype!
June 22, 2008


While it was previously "announced" as "Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen," Superhero Hype! has learned that DreamWorks/Paramount has opted to make it Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen instead.

In related news, Jalopnik has posted spy photos of the new Bumblebee (the 2010 Chevy Camaro Z28) as well as an unknown Corvette concept.

Filming is currently taking place at the Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia for a June 26, 2009 release.

The Michael Bay-directed film stars Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, John Turturro, Isabel Lucas and Rainn Wilson.

First, and I'm happy to hear that the "2" has been dropped, never liked hearing "2"s in the movie. Xmen 2? BLAH! Spiderman 2? BLAH!

That is a pretty terrible name I must say.

How bout Transformers: We just gave away the entire movie in the title.

man i really hope this movie is very good loved the first one and hope they have more robots like Unicron the planet sized machine of death( what long name) oh yea the title sounds better without the 2


Posted by: jboy on June 22, 2008 at 02:10:38

hopefully theyll change the title before the film actually comes out i would of prefered "TRANSFORMERS 2"

the title sounds much better without the 2, even though its not my ideal title. bring on ultra magnus, prowl, grimlock, soundwave, skywarp, and whoever else u can... just not hotrod!!

I liked the title before with the 2 but it does sound better without it....I just hope the fighting seens are clearer this time as oppose to the first film.

wow
awesome!

don't complain about the title because it hints at some of the story!

remember "THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK"!!!!!

THE GREATEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME!!!

oh no you don't...

you were just a sperm in your daddy bag.

no one ever thought vader was lukes father, even with that title so don't complain.

Eastern State is such a cool place! I've been there three times!


Posted by: Fitz on June 22, 2008 at 02:34:58

actually the title does give the movie away....Revenge of The Fallen basically means Megatron and his gang are back to cause havoc and destruction to everyone and everything in the universe...especially the Autobots due to the fact that they kicked their ass in the first film..the same thing is gonna happen in this film just with more familiar and loveable robots..... THE END


Posted by: Seenit! on June 22, 2008 at 02:38:24

So if it was called "THE DECEPTICONS STRIKE BACK" that would give it away the story?
So could Megatron be BumbleBees father?

How about "Transformers: Bay Will Never Get It Right Because He Played With Barbies As A Kid Instead Of Transformers"


Posted by: upsincefour on June 22, 2008 at 03:14:36

does anyone else just see the Mach 5?


Posted by: strak on June 22, 2008 at 03:31:53

Consider that "Revenge of The Fallen" sounds exactly like one of the '80s episode titles. You didn't complain about "Five Faces of Darkness", "The Ultimate Doom", or "Fire on The Mountain" in 1985, but you complain now? You complain when things stray too far from the source material, but now that they've nailed the tone of the show (in one aspect, anyway), you ***** and moan? Oh, wait. Most of you hadn't been born yet in 1985.

wow






that sure is a lot of hype over dropping a number.





wow

thank you MANDALORE, i was thinking the same thing...

the fallen isnt just teh dead bots, it could be the actual character "fallen"


Posted by: Nowhere Man on June 22, 2008 at 04:04:24

Trying to evoke The Empire Strikes. Good luck, Bay. Hope the product is quality.


Posted by: Shadosnypa on June 22, 2008 at 04:17:33

i agree with jboy, Transformers 2 is just fine...revenge of the fallen doesnt exactly roll of the tongue

Posted by: Kryptonian on June 22, 2008 at 05:02:39

Posted by: ti on June 22, 2008 at 05:20:49
