Transformers 2 producer Don Murphy on his official message board has posted a link to this site where they are claiming that DreamWorks/Paramount released the full title for the sequel yesterday, although we didn’t hear anything from the studio on Wednesday. They say it’s titled Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen. Hasbro has confirmed the subtitle on its official site.
In related news, TFW2005.com has posted a big gallery of new photos of the Bethlehem, Pennsylvania filming. Check those out here. [None of Megan but some of you may still be curious!]
TransformersLive.blogspot.com also says that Degrassi: The Next Generation star Nina Dobrev has landed a role as a university student.

First there was Back to the Future, and then The Matrix, and then, more recently, Pirates of the Caribbean, where literally the last thing said on screen during the second film was a cliffhanging new plot point. If you’ve got a successful franchise, why not link the second and third movies, forcing audiences to wait upwards of a year for resolution?
Because it’s friggin “lame,” Transformers director Michael Bay insisted to us at the MTV Movie Awards, telling MTV News that the second go-round with Optimus Prime would be entirely self-contained.
“You know how those sequels they do the second one so you go see the third one? [Transformers 2] is it,” he said, indicating that “2” would be its own story free from the duel shackles of set-up or resolution. “First one was just introducing, setting up stuff, so we can go a lot farther. Let’s just say [this] is not a lame sequel.”

If there ever was any doubt about it before, we now know for sure that Miss Fox will revise the role of Mikaela Banes in the sequel for Transformers. Shia LaBeouf, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson and John Turturro will also be back.
If you’ve ever wondered just how Dwight Schrute would handle himself in a brawl with a gigantic robot, well … it looks like you’re going to get an answer.
Rainn Wilson, who plays the intense (and intensely funny) Schrute on NBC’s The Office, has revealed to MTV that he has been cast in DreamWorks’ Transformers 2. The sequel to last year’s megahit about a race of automotive automatons smashing it out on Earth reteams director Michael Bay with returning stars Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson and John Turturro.
The story was conceived by Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, who wrote last year’s “Transformers,” as well as Ehren Kruger, who wrote the screenplay. Filming began in Los Angeles in recent weeks and is moving to Pennsylvania and then overseas.

Diablo Cody is a woman who needs very little in the way of introduction. After all, the stripper-turned-scripter was making plenty of headlines before winning the Oscar for Juno. These days, she’s downright unbiquitous. But despite all the mainstream attention she’s received, Cody’s continously stated that one of her biggest goals is to make a horror film. That’s one goal that Cody can now scratch off her list–with Jennifer’s Body (directed by Karyn Kusama and starring Megan Fox, Amanda Seyfried, and Adam Brody) having competed its principal photography in Vancouver just last week. We were fortunate enough to visit the film’s set just a few days before filming wrapped, and we spoke with Cody about how Jennifer’s Body reflects her undying love for the horror films she grew up with…
Everyone [on set] was telling us how they were inspired by the great horror films of the 80s–what are some of the worst horror films that have inspired you?
I would never say such a thing, because I feel that bad horror movies are edifying in their own way. Y’know it’s interesting…that’s a tough question. I guess I don’t consider any of them bad because it’s hard for me to say objectively what’s bad, what’s tacky. Horror is inherently tacky, it’s a garish genre–which is why I love it. I think some of the later Nightmare films got pretty bizarre–at that point Freddy was just a character, he had stopped being a shadowy boogeyman and had become this stand-up comedian. And you rooted for him, it kind of switched the perspective. So it was corny but really cool. Those were my favorite movies when I was little.
If you compared Jennifer’s Body to a certain film, what would it be?
Oh my God! That’s such a good question. The Virgin Suicides, Suspiria, Creepshow, Carrie, Just One of the Guys, or Ginger Snaps.
After writing the script, did you in your mind see this as being akin to a certain type of horror movie, and now that it’s shot do you see the same way, or as a different sort of film?
I think, yeah, when I first wrote it I had intended for it to be gorier and maybe exploitative, a little more lurid; and the thing is there’s such talented people involved outside of myself that I think it’s become more atmospheric and a little creepier and maybe a little more high-brow–which is cool. Like Rosemary’s Baby, one of my favorite movies, which is kind of the definition of the art-house horror movie.

JoBlo.com visited the set of Jennifer’s Body this week and will have a full set report up soon, can’t wait! They did, however, post a brief preview of what’s to come. Unfortunately Megan herself skipped the interview tent.
On set Cody talked her love for bad horror movies saying “I feel like bad horror movies are edifying in their own way. Horror is sort of a inherently tacky. It’s a garish genre and that’s why I love it because I am a garish individual.” Cody then goes on to use the following movies as the recipe to make Jennifer’s Body: The Virgin Suicides, Suspiria, Just One of the Guys, Creepshow, Carrie, and Ginger Snaps. Cody definitely shared her thoughts on her first attempt at horror and also mentioned a possible future romantic comedy.
Also on set was producer Jason Reitman, who besides showing some serious love for JoBlo.com, supported his production partner Cody. He compared the script for Jennifer’s Body to Juno this way: “[It] took teenagers seriously. There was a warmth to it… Recently, most horror films I see kind of fall in two categories: either kind of gore and decimation or this world of really cold horror films that have sprung from The Ring.” Reitman went on to talk about his love for Diablo’s genius as well as touch on some of his future projects.
By the way, do not forget to cast your votes for Megan at the 2008 MTV Movie Awards for Breakthrough Performance! You can vote as many times as you like. :biggrin:
