(Rumor) Transformers 2-- Summer 2009 ?

Let the rejoicing/complaining begin!

Wheeeeee! That would rock my socks!

Make it happen, cap'n!

The LA Times reports it on page 2 of their web article, if you are looking for it.

Anyone who gave into the whole STRIKE hype is someone who gave into it!

Movies, especialy ones that make money have a schedual to keep, something like a year postponment can easily upset a following.

After all, why would they give some other franchise room to squeeze in and take away that next paycheck?

I never gave the strike much notice, something like that won't stop the giant wheels of progress.

Bay, Spielberg, Hasbro, Paramount, Hasbro, Takara, and so on, none of them would let the intrest sway on a cash cow like this.

fricken sweat

Just in time for me to graduate college

Awww...I never like to wait. But this is good news.

Awesome!

I honestly was expecting the sequel to be delayed for a long time, at least until 2010!

2009 was my best case scenario. Long enough to make a quality film, but just soon enough that the wait won't be agonizingly painful.

Sweet, can't wait to see how it turns out. I hope Megatron makes a comeback or something. I really can't wait til plots start to leak and everything all over again.

'BOUT FREAKIN' TIME!

The only thing that concerns me on this is the strike thing. This might mean that they are going to try to hurry up & get the movie slapped together before the strike hits....& if that's the case, we're going to see a sloppy, craptastic sequel that could have been better if they waited & focused more on quality rather than speed.

.....That & I hope Soundwave, Devastator, & the Dinobots(or Grimlock at least) makes it into the movie.

Ha, me too!

Kicking back and watching TF2 will be one heck of a way to celebrate getting a diploma, eh?

2009? i don't know that seems a bit rushed to me. as much as i want to see another tr movie i also want it to be done right and 09 just seems like it won't give all departments enough time to make the movie what it should be. i think a 2010 summer shot would be better, give everyone more time to relax and give it the love it needs. but in any case my fan side takes over and says OH YEAH 2009 BABY! rock on.

Damn, 2009 is so far away. Ah, the waiting and anticipation begins.

Here it goes again!! good luck sound wave!

That means filming will have to start pretty soon.

Which means there has to be a story written even sooner... I hope it aint horrible.

Success of the last one should mean that there will be less complaining this time around for the sequel. If you believe this statement then you believe that President Bush can run for a third term!

Goes back to living his life and thanks God that the latter part of the above statement is just not possible!

I have a hunch it'll be pushed back after that. How many times was the first movie pushed back?

I still wanna know why rumors aren't called Sludge Reports anymore......anyways, I don't wanna wait another 2 years, I already waited 2 for this one!

Better have less humans this time. Blech.

Yeah, but now you're better prepared for it this time around!


...Or maybe not, what do I know lol

transformers two :rise of the seekers here we go

More like Transformers 2: The REST of the Cast of Even Stevens Strikes back! (Now with only 20 seconds of actual Transformer footage!)

i am back... with this new rumor to do some complaining... well really only one complaint.........no shaky assed cam ....its just not good film making ....oh one more thing leave the human shit out of it....this is robot robot robot movie.... ohhh one more lil thing .....ehhhhh hem ....get a new director

That summer we will be seeing either a Justice League movie or a Superman on

So we will know what movies will have to be moved out of the path to make way for this giant

i hope its not

i hope they do it next year

Well, there was something sector 7 site, rumor about TF 2 with the dinobots, that would kick ass..., but just a rumor. There was something about it on Youtube too, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4hrFl2nbjA kinda the same thing we know, but it shows vids from fans at the end by sector 7, don't know if this is old news...

A year and a half to make a film? Enter the hurridly written, poorly made follow up...

Can't wait to see the tf roster, tf designs etc.

Hopefully it'll be more centred around the tfs than the first one this time.

I wonder if they'll change Prime, Racthet etc to different veichles/ bot modes...

2 years? Wow...they make TF2 in haste. That means the movie will be slighty decreased in quality (CG and plot) than TF1. As we all know, movies with quick production time always gone bad.

That's all, except the production team has made a quarter or a half of TF2 when its prequel was shown to public in the end of June 2007.

Remenber that the designs are already out (Prime and others) so that´s less time in making the movie.

For that to happen, they would need to have already written a script, screenplay and have finished principal photography and filming by now.

That ain't gonna happen

Nice just two years!

Well, Sam and Mikaela will be back (here's hoping there is a beach scene! WOOHOOO!); I expect Josh Duhamel to be back..I can see him as a liaison between the military and the Autobots. Tyrese Gibson will be called back for a military roll against the 'Cons and a resurrected Megatron (yes, I guarantee he's coming back). Sector 7 is gone so Turturro is gone too...rule those characters out. Voight will be gone (probably a change in administration). The hackers will be gone. the most important thing is the fact that this movie will undoubtedly have a much bigger budget: more FX money means more robots.

More Transformers!

Yay! A year and a half free of piss poor TF movies! 2009 just can't come slowly enough for me, roll on Transformers Animated and lets hope its so good they scrap the movies in favor of full length animated movie. Who's with me? No one I expect but that's my opinion on the matter.

I'm with you, mate (maybe not so much on the Animated part, though).

Still, there's more, MUCH more (sorry, I had to) to the franchise than a brainless teen comedy riddled with product placement and the usual Bay stereotyping/not-so-subtle-pro-Americanism.

Wow, you guys are already complaining about how bad the sequel will be. I guess that one's going to bomb too, right? Animated will be bad for all the reasons you say the movie was bad so don't get your hopes up.
I can't wait for the sequel(s) but I want them to take as long as they need to make them as amazing as the first. Long live the movie saga!

Yes...the tears, ramblings, baybashing, angst of the haters..it´s like food for my soul...

Also I find ironic that AK has a avatar of one of the most craptastic tf series (Energon, assuming he´s a fan) and always likes to bash the movie, but that´s just me...

people are going to hate transformers animated and then assume transformers 2 will be bad also so bay is gonna lose money big tme thanks to stupid animated!

Great now we get to hear more from the anti-bay camp!

meh, it´s like my mother says:

"enters one hear at 50mph, it exits the other at 150mph"

who cares about some elitits who cannot take their sticks out of their arses...

if you go the sector seven website it shows a video of
Grimlock he looks awsome.Shockwave,Soundwave,WheelJack, and maybe Arcee have to be in it.Bumblebee sucks as a camaro

See the only way a decent movie could be released by 2009 is if some aspects of it are already complete, like script, (test) CGI etc...

That in itself isn't an impossiblity, for all we know the bods responsable could've been working on a sequel before the first movie wrapped.

YES!!! can't wait!

That's not official video, just some bonus content they stuck on the Sector Seven site.

It has nothing to do with TF2. I think it's safe to say that they have barely started making the movie, it would be impossible for them to have already post renders, especially of that Grimlock on the S7 site which is clearly just a 3D model of his G1 incarnation.

about when i expected it... lets hope we give them a little break this time around

WAAAAY TOO EARLY! their not even in pre-production :S a script hasn't been done either, am i the only one who thinks its unlikely? Unless they've been keeping it well under wraps it seems unlikely it will be in 2009 or at the very end of the year.

It's gonna take quite some time before TF2 comes out...
