USA Today has a new article spotlighting "Transfomers : Revenge of the Fallen":

The plot:

Decepticons are still chasing Sam (Shia LaBeouf) and Mikaela (Megan Fox) to retrieve information he has about the origins of the Transformers and their ancient history.

Humans are dealing with the aftermath of the first film and tries to figure out which of the bots to trust and an international coalition has allied itself with the Autobots.






The $200 million production will feature 40 robots and got Pentagon approval to shoot around a New Mexico missile range. The sequel is the "biggest joint military operation movie ever made" according to the film's Army liaison.

Among the highlights:

Filmmakers scored first time access for a film crew to shoot not just around but on the 5,000 year old Pyramids at Giza which features in the film's climactic battle. Naval aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis was also used for filming.

Meantime: Empire Magazine published the first photos from the production yesterday.

The film opens June 26th 2oo9.
