Moon On The Move

Following yesterday's seemingly successful screening of 20 minutes of 3-D footage from Transformers: Dark of the Moon the studio suits at Paramount Pictures have pushed up the release date of the sure to be Summer spectacle by 2 days.

Originally set to open on July 1st the pic will now open on June 29th--Not a surprise really since Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen also opened on a Wednesday while the original Transformers was released on a Monday.

In the film--The Autobots and Decepticons become involved in a perilous space race between the U.S. and Russia, and once again human Sam Witwicky (Shia Labeouf) has to come to the aid of his robot friends. There’s new characters too, including a new villain in the form of Shockwave, a longtime “Transformers” character who rules Cybertron while the Autobots and Decepticons battle it out on Earth. The Autobots learn of a Cybertronian spacecraft on the Moon and must race against the Decepticons to find it and learn its secrets, which could turn the tide in the Transformers’ final battle.

Franchise regulars Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, John Turturro, Kevin Dunn and Julie White welcome newbies Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Patrick Dempsey, Frances McDormand, Ken Jeong, Alan Tudyk, Leonard Nimoy and John Malkovich.

The sequel competition? Only the teen rom-com “Monte Carlo” and Tom Hanks’ directorial effort “Larry Crowne.” The move may cut into ticket business for “Cars 2,” opening on 6/24 though...
