Transformers 2 release date - June 26th, 2009???

interesting. Count down Seibertron?

i saw the breaking news headline and came straight to movie forum! looks like theres nothing much to be excited about, since its not a for sure set date.

Yeah. Waiting for the Cast List. Hopefully Jetfire makes it.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to see devastator tear things up. hopefully we'll get some more of optimus's energon axe. that thing was cool! Can't wait for all the leaks of designs and stuff. Here we go again!

Haha! On my birthday no less!

It shall be a happy birthday indeed!

tf1 was set back so many times, tf2 will probably not make it til late july.

It better be gooder than this one.lolqnse

People are afraid of this being rushed. 2 years is the normal turn around time for movies though.

I just hope this doesn't go the way of unplanned modern blockbuster trilogies though.

1-Experimental and who knew, AWESOME

2-More of the same with some new amusing element thrown in, still pretty good.

3-Realy lost focus and set off track as it felt the need to focus on that one new element from 2

Looking at you Spider-Man, 80's-90's Batman, RoboCop, and so on and so on.

Two years is plenty of time as realy it's longer than that, if you'll recall, sequils where greenlite before 1 even premered. If you don't think the creative staff is already continuing mullings from before even that, well...

As for an exact date, well set your calenders and well see if this is right when the date comes. Hell any longer and on a much greater level, the TF movie franchise would suffer much more than any party involved would be willing to cope with.

Thats when you have to wory about a drop in QC.

Here we go again...

YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BRING BACK THE SEIBERTRON COUNTDOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eh. Already to tell you the truth I could care less. Im tired of the movie stuff.

Ha, I know. Is it too early to start bitching about the designs, the cast, and the director?

Gimme a break! It's waaaaay too early to even be thinking about Transformers 2.

Yay for rushed crap ?

So funny--right after my birthday...

I can't wait! (too bad it's a long one)

Don't hold your breath expecting to see Devastator anymore, at least not with that character name. Since they kept Brawl's name as Devastator in the DVD, that now means both Devy *and* Bonecrusher have already been spoken for and killed in the first movie.

I think it's a safe bet that *if* we do get a combiner in the sequel, it won't be the Constructicons.

The date is June 26th, not the 29th. I read it wrong. I must've been thinking of Die Hard's release date this year.

June 26th. Everyone on the same page now? Good.

That will be my 35th birthday. And it's the only thing I'm looking forward to. Sad.

Actually I'm more afraid of them trying to rush it to make sure they got it all in before that strike hits.

: ) Sounds good. Atleast we got a general idea now.

(would prefer it to be on July 4 again, lol) MORE BIG F*CKING ROBOTS PLEASE! Soundwave? Sunstreaker?

No it wasn't. TF1 was announced to come out on July 4th, 2007, in July of 2005, then they moved UP the release date.

edit: I'm not going to delete my mistake since someone already quoted it, but to suffice things--You were right and I was wrong. I forgot about the earlier release dates because of how long they stuck with the July 4th one. Sorry.

will michael bay direct?

Do I get credited for noticing this?

EDIT: Nm, found it!

Oh... i can't watch it my stuipd computer is toooooooo......s...l...o....w....!!!!
god damn IT!!=.=

Actually, it was pushed back. It was originally slated for a November 2006 date.

Going to church and praying does bring dividends! Well done BluePhirePB!

Forgot about the attempt for Summer 2006. Probably because they stuck with the July 4, 2007, release date for two full years. They should really never use "officially" until they know. I don't really consider this official either. Too much left to be done.

Well, for sure or not, this is FANTASTIC news. I honestly wasn't certain of Hollywood's seriousness (or mr bay's, for that matter) on doing a sequel until now. This is great! i think i just skeeted!

SWEET! hope its true!

Who will be in it beside the robots?Will they have have the same actors as before?

They say Soundwave's a confirmed central character....

Hopefully Barry's alive, and an aircraft carrier character would cool.

Constructicons are probably out of the picture also, since Devastator would be missing an arm...

Excellente nouvelle...Ou faut-il appeler pour réserver sa place???

....would "be" cool...

Wait...you mean they didn't fix it??

....sh*t. Well, there goes any hopes for a *real* Devastator......

But apparently we're getting Tidal Wave? Perhaps not all hope is lost.....

Ya, I saw it right after I made the post.

The date can still move. Most surely it will.

But at least, we're more or less assured now of a sequel.

so... is Bay directing it or not? Still confused on that... and too busy to research.

Or they could've come up with the idea that after repairing Bonecrusher, they make the rest of the constructicons, which each holds a fragment of "Devastator" from TF1.

Who cares for the GIJoe movie? Transformers stood the ground against Simpsons, Die Hard 4, Harry Potter, and a bunch of good movies.
For Transformers 2: BRING IT!

Without Bonecrusher, it makes them five, a same number with other gestaldts.

How would they work on Soundwave? It's quite interesting.

...Please be good *fingers crossed*

Currently, it seems very likely that Bay will be directing. He still go the right of first refusal anyway.

And considering that they have the models of the surviving characters already done it saves them some time and allows them to focus on new characters, casting, and scripting. Having the human cast from the first two return will save time as well since they only would have to cast new characters and extras.

Anyway, can't wait and hope it's as good as the first.

you're so funny! I really hope it's not as 'good' as the first, and that they do spend more time, longer than a day would be nice, focusing on characters, casting, and scripting.

It's not rushed people, get it through your head.

Spider-man 2 came out 2 years after the first film, not only that, but it was a hundred thousand million times better than the first film.

Remember, they're probably telling us very little at this point. Designs, scripts and screenplays are probably already underway and will probably be finished very soon. The would begin filming in the spring of 2008, break for the strike (which probably won't last too long) and continue filming in the summer/fall of '08. Post production would last into 2009 with the film ready for the end of June.
