Slow Rise Of The Fallen

"Transformers : Revenge of the Fallen" director Michael Bay promises the first theatrical trailer will hit either air during the NFL.com Super Bowl or sometime in early February.



Here's the latest quote from his official blog: "Back from Egypt and Jordan - we had a wonderful shoot over there... Our Trailer for Transformer you have been asking about - First there will be a teaser poster soon after the new year, and the teaser trailer will be out either in the theaters early Feb. or on the Superbowl. Cannot decide yet. I’m going to release some set stills on this site in a few weeks."

Producer Don Murphy posts on his own site that due to an already high awareness of the project, they are planning to hold off on the big push until the end of the process:

"We’re kind of trying to follow the Pirates of the Caribbean model, that is, no publicity for as long as possible, since the sequel will have enormous attention no matter what we do."

From a practical standpoint--that's a sound model to follow of course--to build anticipation even further--It sucks for fanboys though.

The film is set to open June 26th 2009.
