Nelson here.
Penn students on Facebook have set up an open letter to Michael Bay… [ Read more ]. According to the post they seem to think that although Michael has shot at Penn the movie will take place at Princeton. It reads:
Princeton? Really? You HAD to shoot at the University of Pennsylvania and choose to have us ‘play’ Princeton? Shia couldn’t have gone to UPENN? Join this group and ask Michael Bay to CGI the University of Pennsylvania (not Princeton) back into Transformers 2.

PRINCETON BOROUGH — Imagine staging a car crash amid the Gothic-style stone edifices of Princeton University.
That prospect made Hollywood director Michael Bay a tad uneasy as he planned filming part of the sequel to last year’s blockbuster “Transformers” movie.
He didn’t know if the university, where scenes for his next “Transformers” movie have been shot for the last two days, would go along with the bent metal of an action flick.
Back to Alamogordo
ALAMOGORDO, New Mexico -DreamWorks Pictures, Paramount Pictures and director Michael Bay will return to New Mexico to film major sequences for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Governor Richardson announced Monday. The next installment of the box office hit Transformers is expected to hit theaters next summer.
“Transformers was a huge success and I am pleased that Dream Works, Paramount Pictures and Michael Bay have decided to return to New Mexico to film the second installment,” said Governor Richardson.
The first film, starring Shia LaBeouf, Tyrese Gibson, Josh Duhamel, Megan Fox and John Turturro, grossed more than $700 million worldwide.… [ Read more ]
Michael Bay and crew in Philadelphia
From Philly.com… [ Read more ]:
Keep an eye out for Shia LaBeouf, Josh Duhamel, Megan Fox and John Turturro over the next two weeks as Michael Bay puts Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen before the cameras in Philly, starting tomorrow. Among locations: Peco plants along the Delaware, the University of Pennsylvania (because LaBeouf plays a college student), and Eastern State Penitentiary. Last week’s shooting in Bethlehem, Pa., was a blast, as the old U.S. Steel plant hosted explosions and whirring Black Hawk helicopters.
Michael Bay at the National Air and Space Museum
From the Washington Post… [ Read more ]:
The National Air and Space Museum went Hollywood when it became the first Smithsonian-affiliated spot to be featured in a movie title (“Night at the Museum 2: Escape From the Smithsonian,” filmed last month). Now its Chantilly outpost is getting some time in the limelight.
Director Michael Bay was at the museum’s Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center yesterday, filming scenes for his upcoming “Transformers” sequel with stars Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox. We hear that a “super-friendly” LaBeouf signed autographs while Bay took visiting school groups on behind-the-scenes tours of the film set.
Revenge of the Fallen
From Hasbro.com… [ Read more ]:
With a little more than a year away until its debut, the buzz is building about the sequel to 2007’s hit movie TRANSFORMERS
TRANSFORMERS 2: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN began shooting on June 2nd in Bethlehem, PA. While details of the movie’s plot a closely-guarded secret, expect a key character from the first movie to make a dramatic comeback and attempt to settle a score.
"Not a lame sequel"
From MTV.com… [ Read more ]:
First there was “Back to the Future,” and then “The Matrix,” and then, more recently, “Pirates of the Caribbean,” where literally the last thing said on screen during the second film was a cliffhanging new plot point. If you’ve got a successful franchise, why not link the second and third movies, forcing audiences to wait upwards of a year for resolution?
Because it’s friggin “lame,” “Transformers” director Michael Bay insisted to us at the MTV Movie Awards, telling MTV News that the second go-round with Optimus Prime would be entirely self-contained.

“Bay then zipped up to the chain-link gate in a golf cart as people screamed and chanted ”T-2! T-2!” He cheerfully invited everyone into a parking lot at Northampton Community College’s Fowler Family Southside Center, just a few hundred feet from two Apache helicopters.”
