Dark Horizons spoke with actor Tyrese Gibson about Transformers 2.

“I like doing one-offs, but I’m more excited about franchises. We’re doing Transformers 2 right now. It’s crazier, it’s angrier, it’s bigger explosions, more robots.”

“Angrier” is certainly an intriguing way to describe the big budget sequel. We asked Gibson to expand on that: “The conflict between the robots and the humans [is more angry],” Gibson adds. “The stakes have been brought up to a whole nother level. The conflicts between the humans and the Decepticons and then the conflict between the Autobots and the Decepticons. It’s just more angry.”

“Michael Bay is just in rare form right now.”

Variety reports that actor Shai LaBeouf’s DUI and hand injury this past weekend has indeed affected the filming of Transformers 2. 

LeBeouf is recovering from hand surgery and will return to the set within a month, his publicist said.

A DreamWorks insider said there was no work stoppage on “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” — a follow-up to last year’s global box office hit — but added that rescheduling has proven to be a logistical headache. Scenes featuring co-star Josh Duhamel had to be moved to this week to work around LaBeouf’s absence. Another person familiar with the situation said, “Everyone had to adjust their schedule.”

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is expected to hit theaters June 26, 2009.

MTV talked to IDW Publishing, which is working on a five-part prequel miniseries to Michael Bay’sTransformers: Revenge of the Fallen titled “Transformers: Destiny” that will bridge the gap between the first and second movie. What IDW Publishing says confirms the rumor that “The Fallen” in the title is indeed the villain.

“[We're going to] explore the background of The Fallen — the main villain of the movie — as well as expand on the ‘Reign of Starscream’ story that we’re doing and tie everything in to what this next movie is going to be,” explained writer Chris Mowry, who partners on the book with artist Alex Milne. “The next movie starts out with just tons of action and there’s obviously going to be a lot of questions, so we’re hoping to answer some of those beforehand.”

DBMB’s very own forum member Wasinthemovie (great name, huh?) says he was on the Dragonball set during the Mexico City filming. He makes some interesting claims about the film, and has a photo or to back up his claims.

Here’s what he has to say:

I just listened to your latest podcast, the first one I’ve heard, and while I admire you’re optimism regarding the writing in my opinion it will be fairly shallow.

******SPOILER ALERT******
One of the first scenes we shot was Goku’s bike getting trashed by Texas Battles character “Carey Fuller’s” car. Chatwin says in an adolescent voice “Dude my Bike!”, to which Texas looks over at his friend and responds, “Did you just fart?”

So if that sounds like quality writing, then I guess it’ll be ok. Most of the dialog for the first 6 days follow this kind of teenage drivel…

I was lucky enough to be in the movie so I can only pray they didn’t cut me out of anything, I’m a huge fan so I am very grateful I was able to be in the film but from a critical fan’s point of view I’m going to hate at LEAST the opening scenes dialog, because I, and others, were cringing on set….

Anyway, I also have photo’s on set, I can probably get others, cause we were all taking them, especially of props, like Goku’s bike, etc….

Cya

He also adds, in reference to this photo:

This picture was during one of the few scenes I didn’t get into, I really wanted in these classroom scenes because they were all close ups but there was a lot of political crap going on with the extra casting people… anyway…

Goku with his classmates are looking at pictures of the moon which even a picture causes him to go into a trance and almost transforms him. Chatwin has to stare into the camera in this scene.

I was only on the set for the 6 days of Mexico City filming, I wasn’t chosen to go to Durango… more politics, so ya.

He also posted a new photo of Justin Chatwin and Texas Battle, as well as a never before seen magazine scan:

Wasinthemovie said he doesn’t mind Q&A’s, so if you’d like to ask him anything regarding the Mexico City Shooting, as well as read what else he has to say (and see what other pics he might post) visit the DBMB Boards!

Yup, that’s right. At the Troma Panel at Comic Con, Producer Stephan Paul talked about the upcoming live action Ghost In The Shell movie, and spilled that it will likely be in 3D! 

Stephan Paul producer of Ghost Rider discussed his plans to work with Speilberg for the upcoming Ghost In The Shell film. He just finished the film adaptation of Tekken, and is currently working on Castlevania and Lost Planet. Stephan Paul then proclaimed Lloyd as the symbol of the independent, and among the most generous of people. He closed by sharing that Ghost In the Shell will be 3-D.
