Shia LaBeof’s Doppelgänger Does All The Dirty Work

Cheers for the unknown stuntman
Friday, August 22nd, 2008

Shia LaBeouf is hard at work on the set of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen these days but he’s not working as hard as you may have previously thought. Here are a few pics of Shia and his stunt double (who is a serious hottie) on set with the upgraded Transformer Bumblebee (2010 Chevrolet Camaro) each doing their thing:


Apparently, Shia’s thing is to just mess around on set, smiling for the camera every now and then and his stunt double has to do all the dangerous stuff, lookin’ hawt all the while. It’s pretty amazing how much the double looks like Shia … but more grown up and less kid-ish. I think I vastly prefer the double over the real thing … how ’bout y’all?

Bumblebee Reports For Duty

The 'Transformers' Star Shows Up on Set
Sunday, June 22nd, 2008

One of the major stars of last summer’s blockbuster movie Transformers was snapped on the set of the new sequel Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen which is currently shooting on the East Coast at the Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia, PA as well as The Smithsonian museum in Washington DC … here are a couple pics of break-out star Bumblebee (ie. 2010 Chevy Camaro Z28) snapped via spycam and posted to Jalopnik:


Last time we saw it from afar, but now we’ve got the first close-up shot of what we’re now told is a Corvette concept shot on the set of the new Transformers 2 movie, Revenge of the Fallen. The latest shot, posted to the Motown Muscle forum, comes with some degree of reliability given it comes with two new shots of the “Bumblebee” version of the 2010 Chevy Camaro Z28. That’s right, our e-mail tipster, who also posted the shots on the forum, claims not only that this is a 2010 (or 2012) Corvette concept, but also that this isn’t the “SS” Camaro, it’s the Z28. Whether this mean we’d not only get a “Super Sport” package, but also a “special performance package” via a Z28 check box remains to be seen.

UHHH … yeah, I dunno what any of that means. All I know is that the pretty yellow car will transform into a huge robot in the movie. I’m also not sure who or what the unpainted other car is. Could it be another Transformer? Could it just be an extra car shell for use in the movie? Do I have any idea what I’m talking about? Not really … but I do love Transformers so any news is good news, yes? I still wish they could’ve kept Bumblebee as a Volkswagen Beetle rather than change him into a Chevy Camaro but I guess I can’t complain. The first movie turned out great … I’m sure part 2 will be even better.
