5 MQ photos have been uploaded to the gallrey of Shia promoting Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen on Jimmy Kimmel Live on June 25, 2009:
Giant robots ruled the box office over the weekend, and started transforming Hollywood’s record books in the process.
Paramount’s “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” showed there was more than meets the critics’ eyes by earning $112 million over the weekend. The movie, starring Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox as the token humans, grossed a whopping $201.2 million in the five days since its opening.
It’s the biggest five-day in history after “The Dark Knight’s $203.8 million last year. That movie went on to gross $533.3 million, making it the second highest-grossing movie of all time.
BTW, I’m new here and my name is Jen! I currently run a site on actor Hayden Christensen called Desiring Hayden.Net. I’m so grateful to be a part of Shia Online and would like to thank Faith and staff for asking and welcoming me with open arms. Thanks again!!
You asked for it, we’ve got it! Some footage from The Early Show finally showed up online today, along with an in print version detailing how Shia’s films have earned 2 billion dollars in the last few years, including this week’s blockbuster Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen that took in over 200 million in it’s first five days alone, short I think only 2 or 3 million from overtaking The Dark Knight - please give SLO credit if you re-post this video, because it was a pain in the butt to get:
“I have seen it with real people. We saw it in London with real people, and Korea with real people, Japan, Russia. It’s the same type of reaction there. It’s not a language thing, obviously. It’s like a visceral reaction to Fourth of July,” LeBeouf said.
Asked what it’s like to be in a movie where there’s interaction with human actors and things you can’t see, LeBeouf said, “It’s like pantomime. It’s commedia dell’arte, singing in the shower or being a professional schizophrenic. ?Yeah, you just keep talking to yourself.”
“It’s so intense. There’s a lot of this movie, it looks to me like you’re in it. You can’t be casual about something like this,” Smith noted.
“No, there’s nothing casual about this movie. Nothing. You’ve got to be an athlete, I think, and have pain tolerance. It’s a monotonous, aggressive set. That was the goal of the film. Mike (Bay) likes to punch the audience in the face, and the actors get the brunt of that,” LeBeouf explained.
Very late with these, sorry bout that everyone! Uploaded 7 MQ photos to the Gallery of Shia promoting T2 on The Early Show on June 25, 2009 - we’d love to see video of this if anyone has it!:
We’re still training new staff members, so our updates will be a bit lax for a few days but we should be able to resume normal frequency by mid week. Thanks for understanding! :)
Sorry things are slow here today, on top of no net access at home we’re busy with script upgrades and training some new SLO and FoxWeb staffers, but we’ve managed to upload 12 HQ photos to the Gallery from Shia’s appearance on The Today Show on June 25, 2009:
So sorry I’m late with this, but my internet connection conked out this morning and I spent my one day off angry at the computer, lol! But I’m at work now so I’ll try and catch up with today’s updates now that I have net access.
More of MTV’s talks with the stars of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, in this clip Shia and Megan talk about the relationships found in the film:
Although millions of fans are pouring into theaters to see the massive robots of “Transformers,” this Mikaela/ Sam/ Alice conflict serves as a major component of the film’s human element.“It’s not that Sam is turning his back on Mikaela,” explained LaBeouf, whose character meets Alice while at college. “It’s just that a priority for Sam at this point is not only a relationship, but trying to juggle him liking himself.”
“They’re trying to maintain a long-distance relationship, because Sam goes away to college and Mikaela can’t afford to go to college,” Fox explained of the duo’s relationship struggles. “She has to stay behind, and she’s working the grind at a chop-shop with her dad who is released from prison.
EDIT: Sorry about the issues with the upload, there was an error that needed fixing - should be working now!
Sorry this took so long to get up. It wasn’t available right away so I had to wait, but I got it up asap so enjoy it was funny.
