14 DAY TRIAL // With yet a long way to go until June, the wheels of the campaign for what is poised to become this summer’s blockbuster, “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,” have already been put into motion. After the shots we got to see a few days back, we now have the first teaser poster for the much hyped sequel, courtesy of Yahoo!.
Of course, this being a teaser poster, not much can be said on the subject, except that it's what it is and nothing more. However, it is pretty clear that what the movie studio will be attempting with this second installment of the successful “Transformers” franchise is to play more on the dark side of the story we once knew. Judging only by the teaser and what we already got to see in other shots, the sequel will presumably be more somber than the first film, more threatening and double as explosive – literally.
Regardless of the current, yet undoubtedly just temporary lack of details, fans of the genre and of the first movie are already extremely hyped about the upcoming project. This teaser, with the dangerous-looking, red eyes, the all-black background against which not much else is visible, and the looming and inescapable threat of the caption, “Revenge is coming,” does nothing in terms of quenching their thirst for more details on the Michael Bay film.
“Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” will see actors Megan Fox, Shia LeBeouf, and Josh Duhamel join forces with the machines again, in order to fight a “new threat [that] arrives from times of old,” when “the battle for Earth has ended but the battle for the universe has just begun,” as goes the synopsis of the movie. As already noted before, the sequel will hit theaters in June 2009, its current status being in post-production.
Since this teaser poster is just the first in a long series that is yet to come, stay tuned here for updates on “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.”
