An article about TF2 in a french magazine - Spoilers

Hello.
Here's a translation I tried to make of parts of an article I read today in the french movie magazine "Premier Cine Live":
-----
Set: Egypt, in front of kheops pyramid, stands an ancient 30’s palace built for King Faruk’s guests.
At “Action”, Shia runs through the yard, stops at the doorstep and hits the door with his shoulder. Megan Fox, John Turturo and Ramon Rodriguez come next and hurry inside the building.
Shia heads up, shout a few words at an imaginary Bumblebee, and gets in.
Three cars, the Camaro, the red TRAX and the green BEAT, start quickly and stop a bit further away to look out. The three vehicules are driven by black-suited (and thereby “invisible”) stuntmen behind the smoked glass.

At the end of the day, the crew moves to the third and smallest pyramid, Mykerinos.
John Turturo, back as allways angry agent Simmons, has to climb up a few stones. This hasn’t been done for 30 years: Too many accident occurred and egyptians had forbidded it.
Turturo will try to run from an imaginary Decepticon.

Michael Bay says: “I had the idea of these two stupid Transformers, Skids ans Mudflap. They’re twins who can’t stop bickering, but they do heroic things at the beginning of the movie.
Bumblebee, on his side, has become more serious. He doesn’t want to leave Sam’s parents’ garage. There is also an old Transformer, who loses screws and bolts at every move. And it’s John Turturo voicing him.”

-----

The movie will start at Gyzeh, Egypt, long before pyramids were built, and will end at the same place nowadays, with a huge fight beetween Autobots and Decepticons.
It’s said that we’ll learn in the movie how pyramids were built. Does it involve any Transformer?

Sorry if my english is not perfect. For french fans, it's in the march issue of "Première Ciné Live", page 96.

That's it !

I wonder if the huge fight has the Dino-bots vs the fallen and jet fire was the only thought to survived it and burried the fallen in the pyrmid? any thoughts?

well, we know the twins are talkative!

and sounds like BB gets a little.....scared to go outside?

UnclePetey · #5 03-12-2009, 06:33 PM

ya, probably...

and are you saying that the fallen, skorponok, and jetfire aren't confirmed, or am i just misunderstanding what you said?

I'm so glad that the twins bicker. Not all twins (or in my case triplets,) get along great.

That battle will rock.
I wonder whose the Transformer that Turturro is voicing, but it can be also a joke of Mike.

Djeeloo... don't worry, nice transcript!

And yes, it sounds to me like Bumblebee is now a little bit overprotective with the "more serious" stuff and all.... but it will pay off if he gets to trash some Decepticon ass in the process of being cautious.

interesting...

Confirmed for the movie, but not for "the last scene"...

littleman794 · #14 03-13-2009, 12:18 AM

well, ya obviously....wait a sec, wouldn't the fallen most likely be in the last scene?

UnclePetey · #15 03-13-2009, 12:22 AM

possibly, but we still don't know... might just set up the last scene before bidding adieu to another place...

littleman794 · #16 03-13-2009, 12:26 AM

probably...CANT WAIT!!

also for THE GAME!!!

There's another Bay's quote in this article:

"The story takes place 2 years after the first episode. Everybody has gone ahead. It's realistic. Two weeks after the tsunami nobody talked about it anymore. It's very weird. We decided to do the same with the Transformers.
The government talks about a military thing, says all is false, that it's a joke, and people don't know what they really saw. That way we keep the robots secret a little bit more"

There are of course some pics along with the article, but nothing that hasn't already been seen. The pyramid with film crew, Sam & Mikaela running, Sam holding to a pole with cars flying over him, and John Turturo yealing in a radio on a pyramid, with Michael & camera crew.

The rest of the article is about Shia's injuries, how Bay is trying to keep the script secret, and so on.

The movie in France will be released July 8th...

Interesting if the comment about JT voicing the old TF is true or not.....

quinlan · #19 03-13-2009, 07:25 AM
