The publicity and hype for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is about to pick up serious steam.
With the movie opening June 24, expect to see the number of ads for the sequel increase as days go by.
For example, the following display will pop up in theaters across the country any day now:
This is encouraging news.
Director Michael Bay says Steven Spielberg, who serves as executive producer on Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, has seen Bay's first cut of the movie - and has given it his full approval.
Bay posted the following on his message board:
Steven Spielberg sat next to me in a big 100 person theater at Sony today. There were 98 empty seats. The lights came up after we just watched my cut of Revenge of the Fallen. He turned to me and said
"It's awesome". He felt this movie was better then the first - and probably my best, who knows - at this point in a movie you start to lose your objectivity. I just hope the fans like it. I'm going to start putting it in front of audiences in a few weeks - no you are not invited, yet.
As previously reported, Devastator makes an appearance in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.
Now, fan site TFW2005 has posted a series of of CGI images of various robots from Michael Bay's Transformers sequel, including Devastator and The Fallen, pictured below.

During a recent panel discussion at ShoWest, director Michael Bay spoke on the differences between Transformers and the upcoming sequel, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.
"I'm very confident in the movie; the movie is way different [from the first film]. It's epic, it goes around the world, and it's the first film to shoot on the pyramids in like 40 years," he said.
Regarding the special effects, Bay added:
"The robot technology is far more advanced than the way it was in the first movie in the terms of the acting level we were able to get out of the robots. It feels different... I'm confident in it!"
Yahoo! Movies and USA Today have released a list of the robots in this summer's Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.
Here's the full list:
Opening in conventional and IMAX theaters on June 24, the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen stars Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, Kevin Dunn, Julie White, John Benjamin Hickey, Ramon Rodriguez, Isabel Luca and John Turturro.
In case you weren't excited enough for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, listen to what Matthew Butler has to say about the blockbuster.
Butler, Digital Domain's visual effects supervisor on the film, spoke to Variety this week about director Michael Bay:
"He's brilliant, but he's a challenge....he's incredibly fast-paced. He's a whirlwind to keep up with, both on the set and in post... [Bay] took the production value up many, many notches. Just the backgrounds alone are huge. It's a combination of Apocalypse Now and Ben-Hur, in regards to fantastic backgrounds and the unbelievable sets we worked at around the world."
Reportedly, there are over 60 robot characters in the movie.
It comes out on June 24.
It's already been reported, but now it's really confirmed: Megatron will return in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.
The source of this information? Hugo Weaving. In a new interview, the actor that voices this character said the voiceover is complete for the upcoming sequel.
"I've already done it," Weaving said. "There you go, I've given you the secret scoop."
So, how is Megatron resurrected?
Weaving will only offer a slight hint.
"I think in the last one, doesn't Optimus Prime pick up a little bit of, a little shard of the cube, or the thing that's left, and he takes it with him? Maybe there's something there... but I don't know," he said.
A rumor involving which major character will return in this summer's Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen has been confirmed.
In a discussion with fans at TFW 2005, screenwriter Roberto Orci wrote: "Megatron returns!" in response to a question about whether or not the Decepticon leader, voiced by Hugo Weaving, would come back.
Megatron was killed off at the end of the 2007 blockbuster during a brawl with Optimus Prime and Sam Witwicky.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen comes out on June 26. The countdown is on!
The first official trailer for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen premiered during the Super Bowl.
The second? It was attached to the premiere of Friday the 13th in theaters last week.
