The premiere screening itself will be held on June 21st. Michael Bay, several cast members and executives from distributor Paramount Pictures are said to arrive by helicopter in an elaborate ceremony before the June 21st screening. The theater premiere of the movie is set world wide for a july 4th release.
"We think the decision to premiere 'Transformers' in Taormina shows a renewed interest in the festival, and it illustrates the strong ties between this Mediterranean festival and American cinema"
More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

I will be thoroughly disappointed if the helicopter they arrive in isn't an MH-53.

They should also have some one Drive up in the Bumblebee Camaro with the Barricade Mustang as an escort.

Guess I won't be covering the world premiere for the site
Here's hoping that there's a Hollywood premiere that I'll be able to attend to take pictures of for all of you.

That would be awesome. But it would be better if they incorporated the rest of them in it as well.

Oh sure, the Transformers come over here, destroy our towns and homes, kill our citizens, and cost us a fortune (I don't even think my insurance covers destructive sentient alien life forms) and where do they have the Transformers World Premiere? Italy, that's right, the country that brought us GiG Transformers.

At least ONE person should arrive in a great big honkin' red and blue semi truck.

But the G1 crowd would be squealing incoherently anyway. And it's a LOT more feasible than the helicopter, given security nowadays.

Makes sense, that gives it a whole week to reverberate around the world in news stories before it is released in Australia (and other countries I am sure) on the 28th of June. Also gives them plenty of time to recover from the afterparty to be at the American Premiere Screening.

See its not being sent to Italy just for the hell of it. Its an actual Film Festival. Like most most movies, even the Blockbusters they premier officially at a Festival such as Cannes or the lesser known ones for a select Audience (press etc) and then it goes to the big glitzy Hollywood Premier etc.

See what constant bitching does, makes them open the film way over there!
And what does that say about us, we won't be as extreme as to suicide bomb for religion or freedom, but you dirty MF'n film makers better run.
FAST!

Yay! That's only a day before I get to see it at Botcon! I hope that the Italy premier doesn't make it less special.

Oh yeah... that makes complete sense... Japan Created it, while us American's Blew it up and made it part of Pop Culture.... and it get's a premiere in Italy... somewhere that has no real ties to Transformers.
