"The first movie was about a boy and his car and finding his adulthood and freedom. Now Sam [Shia LaBeouf] is going to college and facing both leaving home and the challenge of a long-distance relationship with Mikaela [Megan Fox]," said Kurtzman, who rejoined "Transformers" co-writers Roberto Orci and Ehren Kruger to assemble the sequel, "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen," which opens June 26. Meanwhile, Kurtzman said on a conference call with Orci, "The Autobots have lost the tether to their planet, so now Earth has become their home."
"It's about the return of the Decepticons and particularly a character named 'The Fallen' who has a deeper history with Earth than any of the Autobots knew about. He blames humanity for his fall, so he has come back to exact revenge," said Kurtzman, neatly explaining the title.
Besides the 'Fallen' character, people who are fans of the old transformers cartoon series will sure have a big surprise because some of the decepticons will make their silver-screen debut including the one-eyed machanical Jaguar 'thingy' Ravage and it's master, Soundwave. In keeping the movie top-secret, spoiler-free one, when asked if Soundwave would take the microcassette-player form familiar to fans or be converted to a vehicle for the film, Kurtzman paused and said, "Neither. I cannot be more specific."
The one thing they will mention.
"It's going to be the mother of all robot-on-robot" violence, Orci piped in, then he paused. "We should have led with that."
So those Transformers fans out there get 8-10 bucks ready for the edge of
your seat experience on June 24, 2009.
