I don’t know if this even matters and no one is surprised, but it’s just been confirmed that young star Shia Labeouf will reprise his role in Transformers 2 as well as director Michael Bay. The film is expected a release date for June 26, 2009.
Moviehole gives us this:
As the trade states though, there’s a battle of wills between DreamWorks’ David Geffen and Steven Spielberg and leadership at Paramount conglom Viacom that may see that date change.
Michael Bay is also expected to return for the sequel. And yes, it will be released on DVD in both HD and Blu-Ray. Maybe.
This is great news (except for the possibility of a date change for a later date) because besides having robots in Transformers, Shia Labeouf and (gulp) Michael Bay onboard are sure signs of building up great hype for the sequel. I’m sure Michael Bay is also happy to hear that the film will be on BOTH HD and Blu-ray as well. :p
