Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Press Conference?

US Magazine is reporting the return of Transformers' Josh Duhamel returning from his honeymoon with new wife Fergie (Congrats!). Of note though is a little nugget of information they are reporting that, "Duhamel is due to attend a Transformers Revenge of the Fallen press event later today." I have no idea what that means or if it is true. It could just be a chance for the cast and crew to get a sneak peak at the upcoming Superbowl trailer. Thanks to Katie for the link.

Chevy Volt At White Sands Set

Thanks to Dee who provided the two cell phone pictures below from White Sands Missile Range. The first shows Josh, extras and possibly Tyrese (not sure) as they prep for a scene. I assume that is the C17, mentioned here, that seems to be used to deploy our heroes in Egypt to fight Decepticons.

The second picture seems to be a bit more significant to me as it shows the Chevy Volt parked with other Autobots. Last time we saw the Volt was at the Queensway Bridge set (here and here) which was being used as a Shanghai, China site. At the time a GM rep said the car is not a Transformer alt mode but its looking pretty clear that is not the case.

The suggestion was the car is essentially an extra used for a scene at the Queensway, but if that was the case why spend the time and money to transport the car from California to New Mexico and in the movie storyline from China to Egypt (or vice versa since not sure what comes before what in the story)? The way I see it, this pretty much confirms that the Chevy Volt is an alt mode for un-identified Autobot Transformer. Considering the Volt is part of "green" friendly push by GM, I highly doubt the car is a Decepticon. As usual this is all speculation but it fits the concept car M.O. established by the first movie and continued in this one.

The Insider, ET Transformers 2 Set Reports

On Tuesday the Insider and Entertainment Tonight aired behind the scene reports from the Transformers set at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. The videos include glimpses at scenes being filmed, interviews with Shia Labeouf, Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, and Michael Bay. Lots of boom with moments involving exploding buildings, roadside booms and jets.

As far as actual movie spoiler type information, not a whole lot that I could see. The ET report revealed that White Sands is dressed for a town in Egypt. Their footage, probably shot sometime in the last week was for day 66 out of the --- day production schedule. Also it appears where in the first movie the military characters did the globe-trotting it appears that Shia and Megan join them this time. As previously reported this could extend to include Sam's parents but that was not verified by either set report.


The Insider and ET have posted their videos online. The Insider video is here, ET one is here (or below).


Updated: Added the above picture to the post. The screenshot is from the Insider set report at the 3:12 mark. It appears to be an animatic of a fight sequence between Bumblebee and maybe Barricade but that is just a guess.

Josh Duhamel On Set Pics

SpoilerTV has posted a few pictures of Josh Duhamel on a Transformers set. The what, when, where, etc are not specified but if I had to hazard a guess I would think the pictures are from June when he was shooting at Bethlehem Steel. Below are a few pictures and the full gallery is here. Thanks to Michael for the link.
