Transformers 2: Another Round of Clips and TV Spots
Posted by Neil Miller (neil@filmschoolrejects.com) on June 17, 2009
There appears to be no shortage of marketing materials for this summer’s most anticipated film, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen from director (and my personal hero) Michael Bay. Paramount and Dreamworks have been working overtime splicing together clips and TV spots that integrate in small bits and pieces of the film so as to not give too much away, but also to keep us coming back for more. And it appears to be working.
Today brings us a wide array of clips and TV spots, all full of footage that we’ve seen before — more Shia LaBeouf talking about how this isn’t his war, more Megan Fox yelling “Sam!” and looking rather attractive and more Optimus Prime telling us that there’s a lot that has been kept from Sam (and us, for that matter). So lets get into the ones that don’t show much in the way of new footage. First up, a two new TV spots:
Next, we have a soundless clip that we picked up via our friends over at /Film. It features Sam (LaBeouf), Mikaela (Fox) and Sam’s new friend Leo (The Wire’s Ramon Rodriguez) riding in a car that is then picked up by a helicopter and dropped into the lap of our old friend Starscream (voiced by Charles Adler). Check it out, but remember to turn your sound down.
And finally, a clip that shows some newness. This final TV spot features our first glimpse at Rainn Wilson (The Office) as Sam’s college professor — who oddly enough, is his astronomy professor. How quaint. You, clip, below.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen hits theaters on June 24, 2009.
Are you still excited?
