Transformers 2
 

Casting calls are now going out for those in Pennsylvania and New Jersey for extras for Transformers 2. They will be filming scenes in Princeton and Phillidelphia in June. For more info go here:

Raph's Girl, are you going to try out for some of the parts? Could be fun to be part of such a huge production, even if it is just being a random person in the background that would be on screen less than half a second!

I don't think Raph's Girl lives in either of those areas (although some people around here do!).

I've been an extra several times and it really does get quite boring, depending on what it is that you're doing. I was cast as a "featured extra" in Mighty Ducks 3 and ended up with a close-up shot as I happened to be standing next to one of the actual actors. 8) Too bad the movie itself is quite horrible...

I would if I lived on the east coast but alas I live in the ever wonderous and wet Pacific Northwest (aka Hollywood II). Thankfully tho I live in a town where movies are filmed here all the time... "There Will Be Blood", "Rose Red", and "Dunstan Checks In" have all been filmed nearby. I was able to watch the filming of "Dunstan Checks In" from my back yard. The other 2 were filmed at a castle that's 5 min from here.

I almost auditioned for The Baby Sitter's Club movie maaaaany many years ago when I lived in Germany (no clue why they had a casting call in Germany)...but I wasn't able to cuz I was too old. :ohwell:

I DO know some people who've been extras in films tho. Got a friend who's in the new Batman movie in fact.

I would be more than happy to get 'athletic' enough to be an extra. But I can't bend my age and I don't think I want to take a ten hour drive all the way to Pennsylvania and/or New Jersey.

Transformers II: now with 35% more "No no no no no no no...."

^ Grow up!

Aaaand more casting calls! This time for children in the Washington, DC/Virginia area.

According to a blog site strangly called Dueling Tampons (apperantly the nick name of some structures on campus). The filming in Philidelphia in June will be taking place at the University of Pennsylvania's Castle Fraternity on 36th and Locust ST.

Are you confusing my distaste for the Transformers film and its protagonist with childishness?

Nope, pretty sure she's just calling you immature.

Oh, did I miss the chance to walk around behind Shia Labeouf? He's hot. Damn.

I know where that castle is. I should find out when they're shooting and go chex it out.

No. You didn't miss it. The casting call for Pennsylvania isn't till May 31st. So you have plenty of time. The filming at the University is in June.

Yeah I saw this thread and mentioned it to my friend who always gets calls when they need extras here in Philly. He just found out about it himself and if he goes I think I might tag along, could be fun.

And take pics.

I heard Rainn Wilson is shooting a small role as a Professor in Philly.

The one time I go on vacation and can't make it. :(

Transformers 2 now has a full title!! So lets all say hello to "Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen".....Umm.....what?

This should prove to be amusing.

The decepticons got their asses kicked, Starscream returns with more dudes to take revenge. Title makes sense.

Or a herald of Unicron that arrives on Earth to locate the All-Spark and summon his master to Earth...

(Referring to the War Within character "The Fallen", though the plot is very likely just Megatron's elite guard returning)

That's basically happening right now in Reign of Starscream (which started out as the 1st film from the POV of the Decepticons and now it's set after the film with Starscream gathering up the troops)

I had never heard of The Fallen. Thankfully there was a wiki link to him at Shortpacked. Charming fella....a Transformer that's on fire...AND he's a lacky of Unicron....wee....Would be kewl to see Unicron on the Big Screen tho....

Zarius: Your description of him reminds me of Silver Surfer. :lol:

Oh looky! It's Arcee!! Just needs some pink paint on it....

Jesus, could they try to make that look any more like a Cobra?

Paramount has released the first poster for Revenge of the Fallen....looks....ominous:

This is the most anticipated movie for me this year! Loved, absolutely loved the first one! First official trailer is reported to debut with this year's Superbowl on Feb 1st.

Although, it would be a good idea of attaching a teaser to the re-release of TDK this month.

I am very much stoked for this film indeed...

I saw the toy picture for ROTF Sideswipe recentley and was impressed, I just hope that the entirely final on-screen design is coloured red and not silver as that's a/ Sideswipe's proper colour and b/ red cars look best in films and tv period.

===HERO

I might see this one. The first movie is overated and was thin on plot, this one looks like it'll have the kind of TF mythology I've wanted realized on-screen

Overrated? Online at least, most people seem to hate it.

That's good to hear

That movie is yet ANOTHER of my top twenty reasons never to post on a TF message board. Period.

People online hate everything!

Is it hypocritical to say calling things overrated is overrated?

Overrating is overrated.

No, it's IRONIC!

Wow. I guess the closer you are to God, the more you forget the meaning of the word "irony". Right, Ninjinister?

Why? Most transformers fans agree with your opinions on it, or are more harsh.

Mind you, they do not hate it as much as they hate pat lee (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Pat_Lee), but still.

Revenge of the Fallen trailer is now out!

After the GI Joe trailer hit, it was only a matter of time.

Good res (Fun fact, adding "&fmt=18" to the url makes it better res):
