Preceded by Transformers
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is an upcoming science fiction/action film due for release on June 24, 2009. It is the sequel to 2007's Transformers, which was the first live action Transformers film. Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg return respectively as director and executive producer, while Shia LaBeouf reprises the role of Sam Witwicky, the human caught in the war between Autobots and Decepticons. The film introduces many more robots and the scope has been expanded to numerous countries, the most important of which is Egypt.
The main hurdle in getting the film produced was overcoming the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike, as well as possible strikes by the Directors Guild of America and the Screen Actors Guild. Bay finished his production on time with the help of previsualization and a scriptment by his writers Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman, and series newcomer Ehren Kruger. Shooting from May to November 2008 predominantly took place in the United States, including the majority of scenes set in outside countries, a minimum of which was conducted in those actual nations.
Premise
Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) discovers something about the origins of the Transformers and their history on Earth after receiving visions from a remaining piece of the Allspark.[2] The evil Decepticons need to capture him for information.[3] The climactic battle takes place at the Giza pyramid complex,[4] where a temple is located within.[3] Lorenzo di Bonaventura explained the film will start before the pyramids were built, tying the Transformers to the beginning of civilization,[2] and implying that "all our heroes end up here because of the Decepticons' master plan." Furthermore, Egyptian hieroglyphs resembling helicopters and other present day vehicles in real life will be explained in the film as being depictions of those Ancient Cybertronians who visited Earth.[5]
Bay explained the battle at Mission City did not expose the Transformers to the public. "Everybody has gone ahead. It's realistic. Two weeks after the tsunami nobody talked about it anymore. It's very weird. We decided to do the same with the Transformers. The government talks about a military thing, says all is false, that it's a joke, and people don't know what they really saw."[6] Orci cited the Phoenix Lights incident as an inspiration for how the Transformers manage to stay covert after the previous film,[7] and added it was an interesting idea for how would the government "hide Optimus Prime".[8] The human soldiers have joined the Autobots' ranks in a team called NEST (Networked Elements: Supporters and Transformers).[9] A government front called McClaren Robotics covers up the robot sightings, and they have an Allspark shard kept in storage in Diego Garcia.[10]
