Variety is reporting that a date has been set for the first official footage from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, the anticipated sequel to 2007's Transformers movie. It appears as though fans will get their first glimpse of the film during this year's Superbowl on sunday, February 1st 2009.

News also broke today of the release of the film's teaser poster, which you can see here.

Read the article by clicking here.

Nearly every studio will push pics during the big game, airing on NBC Feb. 1, with the movie lineup naturally made up of summer tentpoles whose studios hope to appeal to the nearly 100 U.S. million viewers that tune in to the broadcast.

Confirmed for this year’s roster are high-profile titles like Paramount’s "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen," "Star Trek" and "G.I. Joe"; Sony’s "Angels and Demons"; DreamWorks Animation’s "Monsters vs. Aliens"; and Universal’s "Land of the Lost" and its fourth installment in "The Fast and the Furious" franchise. Disney is also planning to use the game to raise the profile for Pixar’s next toon, "Up," while a "Wolverine" spot is likely from Fox.

Excellent I was going to watch the game anyway. This just gives me more of a reason to.

All I need now is for the Giants to beat the Eagles on Sunday!

Sweet...looks like we're getting sneak peaks at ALL the big summer movies. I didn't know they were doing a Land of the Lost movie...talk about a flashback! And finally! We get a look at GI Joe too...looking forward to seeing Sienna Miller in tight leather :grin:

Of course this means WE will get to see the trailer the week ahead of time. It also means that those with hi-def will get to see the trailers as such.

w00t!

People dont expect a epic trailer. I learned that it is only going to be 30 seconds long.

Even shorter than with the Mars Rover TF 1 trailer was.

What I expect to be in the teaser is just a few quick flashes of various scenes mostly battle ones.

Then towards the ending of it a phrase like "REVENGE IS COMING" 6-26-09 then the Fallen will show up and his eyes will light up all red or his hand will reach out or something along those lines.

Teaser Trailer - Feb 1st 30 seconds

Trailer 1 - March or April 1 or 2 minutes maybe around Star Trek's release date

Trailer 2 - April or May 2 or 3 minutes the final ultimate trailer

TV Spots 1-14 will air around the movies release date in June.

Im hoping for atleast a minute long trailer (like the two Matrix sequels did in '03) but I doubt it will be. If not, I hope we dont have to wait till May to see the first full length trailer.

Revenge of the Fallen and GI Joe movies both have trailers that will be shown during the Superbowl.
This information is found on a variety of sources. Discussion is on Orci's Live Action Movie Blog. Just thought I would pass it on.

I've heard rumors that there will be a RoTF trailer during the Super Bowl... can anyone confirm that?

News Credits: 7 · by **Chaoslock** » Tue Jan 27, 2009 12:06 pm

I heard it too, and there will be some other trailers: GIJoe, Star Trek,...

Yep, as every company that would normally buy superbowl minutes have gone bust its apparently all movie promo's this year... get your HD dvd recorders ready.

The rest of us non-yanks will just have to wait the 15 monutes it'll take to make it onto youtube.
