When the Oscar nominations were announced, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen didn’t make the Visual Effects category like I had predicted earlier. (Avatar, District 9, and Star Trek were the three nominees.) But it did manage to grab one nomination, for Sound Mixing, which it will compete for at the ceremony on Sunday, March 7th. Unfortunately, [...]

Michael Bay has been posting some brief updates on Tranformers 3 on his official “Shoot for the Edit” site lately and he’s dropped a handful of hints: Busy scouting - Chicago, Detroit, and Washington D.C. for Transformers last week. Things are going well. The script is feeling very different from the other two. And, in quoting an [...]

We’re just a week and a half or so away from the announcement of this year’s Oscar nominations, but there’s already some word on which technical awards Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen might have a shot at. It’s one of the seven movies in the running for Best Visual Effects, a category which will eventually have [...]

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen made the most money out of any movie in the 2009 calendar year. So that means it’s the #1 movie of the year, right? Well, sort of. If you’re counting by what made the most money out of any movie released in 2009, Transformers 2 drops down to #2, replaced by [...]

Empire Online got their hands on a clip from one of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen’s special features, a breakdown of the Decepticon attack on a fleet of battleships and aircraft carriers. In the clip, the narrator reveals that they actually did research to check how fast boats of that size can actually sink. Turns [...]

Considering Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is one of the worst-reviewed movies of the year (not a judgment, just an observation), it takes a certain amount of sheer nerve to try to get it nominated for Oscars. Not just Visual Effects or Sound Editing, mind you. It’ll probably be nominated for awards like that. I’m talking [...]

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is selling like crazy. 24 hours after its release on October 20th, it had sold a stunning two million copies. That’s good news for Hollywood, where everyone is perpetually worried about falling DVD revenues (memo to Hollywood: it’s because of Blu-Ray, idiots). A week later, the Blu-Ray and both DVD editions — [...]

The Scream Awards were held a couple of weeks ago in L.A., but they’re not airing until tonight. If you want to catch Megan Fox and Isabel Lucas — both in attendance — check it out on Spike TV at 10 p.m. As we reported the day after the event, Fox won Best Sci-Fi Actress and [...]

The good folks at How it Should Have Ended finally turned their sights on Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, and the result is a three-minute video featuring a number of alternate scenes and ending possibilities. I can’t say it’s the funniest HISHE video out there — I’m personally partial to the Superman one and the [...]

The only problem with Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen selling two million copies in 24 hours is that it’s October, and it’ll be hard for the holidays to live up to that standard without a huge release like that. But, of course, Transformers is a franchise, and Hasbro will continue to sell toys and comic [...]

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen will finally drop on DVD this Tuesday, October 20th, after its massive $400 million box office run in the U.S. It’s still the #1 film of the year by a margin of about $100 million; second is Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince with $300 million. In an interview for the DVD [...]

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen made a strong showing at the Scream Awards, which were held last night in L.A. The annual awards show will air October 27th on Spike TV. Megan Fox won the award for Best Sci-Fi Actress, and Isabel Lucas won the award for Best Breakout Female Performance. Hey, it’s hard work seducing Shia [...]

Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, longtime writing partners and two of the writers on the last two Transformers flicks, were chatting up the press recently because of the release of the DVDs of the two summer movies they worked on: Revenge of the Fallen and one of the year’s other big hits, Star Trek. While they’re [...]

After saying he wanted to wait three years before filming a third Transformers or suggesting that he might do a smaller movie called Pain and Gain before tackling another blockbuster, Michael Bay has unsurprisingly announced that he’s doing the exact opposite. Transformers 3 will come out on July 1st, 2011 — not 2012 like he’d [...]

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen was finally able to top the $400 million mark here at the U.S. box office, on September 5th — its 74th day of release. Guess I was right. Paramount was quick to issue a press release: HOLLYWOOD, CA (September 7, 2009) – Following its record smashing opening in late June, [...]
