Roberto Orci helped write Transformers 2.

During a recent forum Q&A at TFW2005, it was apparent the scribe was hesitant to give away too many spoilers, but he did open up about the motif behind the sequel.

"One of the themes is about the responsibilities you face when being away from home - reflected by Sam [Witwicky, played by Shia LaBeouf] going to college and by the fact that the Transformers themselves, are of course, far from Cybertron."

Orci also said that Revenge of the Fallen will be darker than the original, while adding that the villains "will get more screen time than before."

Transformers 2 is due out June 26, 2009.

The hand injury that Shia LaBeouf suffered in a car accident this summer will reportedly be written into the script of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

Based on the picture below, however, it appears as though this could be the least of the actor's worries.

LaBeouf was recently photographed on the set of the Transformers sequel, looking bruised and battered. Let's just hope the other guy looked even worse...

On June 26, 2009, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen hits theaters nationwide.

It's the most anticipated movie of next summer - and here's a look at its official movie trailer!

A recent set visit to Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen revealed the sequel's biggest two stars hanging out on set.

If you look closely at the first photo of Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox, you can see the former's hand in a cast as a result of a recent car accident. If you look closely at the second, you can see the latter squeezing her own breasts.

Yowza!

With the summer of 2008 winding down, it's time to focus on 2009's potential blockbusters.

Needless to say, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is atop anyone's list. Here's a look at two new posters for the film:

According to ComingSoon.net, 20th Century Fox and DreamWorks/Paramount will release Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen in both conventional theaters and IMAX.

Here are quick overviews of each of those summer 2009 blockbusters:

• Opening May 22, 2009, Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian is directed by Shawn Levy and stars Ben Stiller in the main role. He's joined by Amy Adams, Hank Azaria, Robin Williams, Ricky Gervais, Owen Wilson, Ed Helms, Christopher Guest, Jon Bernthal, Bill Hader, Alain Chabat, Robert Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon.

• Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen - which will be released on June 26, 2009 - stars Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, John Turturro, Isabel Lucas, Rainn Wilson and Jennifer Alden.

Not exactly earth-shattering news on Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, but still worth reporting:

According to CHUD, Megatron will play a key role in the follow-up to the 2007 blockbuster. He'll be "brought back by the Autobots, who need him to conquer the new menace. But I've learned that this time he won't be that weird alien jet. This time he's a tank."

As we've previously reported, the titular Fallen refers to one of the original 13 Transformers created by Primus.

In Transformers lore, the Fallen betrayed the god-like Primus by allying himself with the planet-devouring Unicron. The Fallen was eventually trapped between dimensions.

What, exactly, is director Michael Bay’s plan for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen?

A few spoilers have already been leaked regarding the 2009 blockbuster, but an upcoming comic book may be the best look yet into next summer's release.

Hardcore fans can look forward to a five-part prequel miniseries entitled “Transformers: Destiny” that will to bridge the gap between the 2007 film and its upcoming sequel. Writer Chris Mowry recently talked to MTV News about the project.

“[We're going to] expand on the ‘Reign of Starscream’ story that we’re doing and tie everything in to what this next movie is going to be,” said Mowry, who partners on the book with artist Alex Milne. “The next movie starts out with just tons of action and there’s obviously going to be a lot of questions, so we’re hoping to answer some of those beforehand.”

A blockbuster movie such as Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen can't just be shut down for a few weeks.

That's why director Michael Bay says star Shia LaBeouf's injury from his weekend car accident may be tied into the upcoming sequel.

“His two fingers are pretty mashed, but we’re figuring out a way to shoot around it, kind of write it in the story,” Bay told Access Hollywood of the actor, who has undergone extensive hand surgery.

LaBeouf was charged with a misdemeanor DUI on July 27.

Roberto Orci, one of the writers on the Transformers sequel, has revealed part of the plot to MTV. 

“It’s about being away from home. It’s a few years later and Sam is going to finally go to college and he’s going to face being away from home just as the autobots are having to deal with being away from Cybertron,” Orci said.

Sounds interesting. But what about the title? Why “Revenge of the Fallen?"

“Because Transformers 2 sounds stupid,” Orci said.
