Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen has been filming in various locations over the last few months and now all that has come to an end.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen director Michael Bay’s official website reports that principal photography for the sequel has wrapped.
Principal photography means “everything we planned to shoot”. This doesn’t mean that its all done, but most of it is and now the daunting task of editing, adding special effects and of course the Transformers themselves. If they need to, they can get the actors to come back and redo scenes, but the bulk of it is in the can – or hard drive as it appears to be now.
Right now if you were to steal what they have, you would get a mess of scenes in apparent random order with the stars talking to tennis balls on a stick.
But its the first hurdle, and now 10 times the effort in making the film will be MAKING the film.
My prediction right now is that the movie will be good, but expect in late June for the fans to be both excited to see Devastator (The combined Constructicon mega-bot) and royally pissed if the rumours are true and that his scene will be very brief.
I don’t know why they would bother to cater to the fans biggest request for the sequel, and then piss on it, but let’s just hope the rumours are not true!
