‘Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen’ World Premieres In Tokyo

The promo show gets underway
Monday, June 8th, 2009

The principal cast, including Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox, of the Summer blockbuster sequel Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (along with director Michael Bay) made their way to Tokyo, Japan today for the world premiere of their new film. Here are a few pics from the red carpet arrivals at the movie premiere at Roppongi Hills earlier today (last night for us here in the US):


When sharing a red carpet with a 16 foot robot, Megan Fox knew she’d have to go the extra mile to get attention. The actress guaranteed she made a maximum impact at the world premiere of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen in Tokyo with a striking figure-hugging purple gown. Taking a style tip from seasoned red carpet veteran Liz Hurley, Megan showed off her fabulous legs in a slashed-to-the-thigh satin gown. The 23-year-old beauty joined co-stars Shia LaBeouf, Isabel Lucas, Josh Duhamel, Ramon Rodriguez and Tyrese Gibson at the Toho cinema in Roppongi Hills for the first screening of the sequel to the 2007 blockbuster. Hundred of Japanese fans queued for hours to see their idols, while only a lucky few managed to see the eagerly-anticipated film. The new movie sees Shia and Megan reprises their roles as teenage couple Sam Witwicky and Mikaela Banes, who team up with their Autobot robot friends to stop the Decepticons from destroying the planet. Speaking on the red carpet, Megan thanked director Michael Bay for giving her a role in the original film, which launched her Hollywood career. She said: ‘It’s mind-blowing. I think it has opened a lot of doors for me career-wise, but there is a certain loss of anonymity, like leaving your house and having people take your picture all the time. That is a different kind of life.’

I’m curious to hear what the reviews for this sequel will be like. As of yet, I’ve not read anything substantial … but now that the film is premiering, I’m sure we’ll be hearing about it soon enough. I am really looking forward to the release of this film … I hope it’s as fun as the first movie. And here we go … the promo machine for Transformers 2 is officially underway. Who’s excited?
