Bay Interview Reveals Transformers 2 Shooting Again

A recent Entertainment Weekly interview with "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" Director Michael Bay contains a little tidbit that the film has started shooting once again.

EW writes that the interview was conducted, "[d]uring a break on the set...described to us as a 'remote [Air Force] base' at an 'undisclosed location.'" The remote base most likely refers to Edwards Air Force Base, which we previously reported as a shooting location last week.

Roberto Orci further confirms that the film has started shooting again and maybe it never ended at all.

In a post of "Transformers" Producer Don Murphy's official message board, Mr. Orci writes, "we never stopped -- shooting been going on all week and last week."

The interview with Entertainment Weekly does not really reveal anything new. Mr. Bay reiterates that the film will be a stand-alone film.

His message to the writers were, "I hate sequels that try to make it to the third movie," he tells EW. "Pretend like we’re never having a third movie, so let’s go for broke on the second one. I hate those cliffhangers! Let’s just make this movie stand on its own," he told Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman, and Ehren Kruger. "I really feel this movie is not a forced sequel. I think the script is really good, and I think it’s got a lot of new stuff in it."

Does Friday the 13th really need a remake?

I though Rob Zombie's remake of Halloween blew the original away, so I'm interested to see what Hollywood has in store for Jason and Co.

Oh NOOOOO!!!! Friday the 13th is my favorite horror series ever. I have a bad feeling Bay is gonna mess it up.

To be fair friday the 13th isnt a hard thing to f**k up and it can never be as bad as the Jason space movie thing

Jason X. :lol

As a Friday the 13th fan I can't wait!

:awsum + = :win

Freddy vs Jason really was the perfect conclusion to the Friday the 13th series (Jason X NEVER HAPPENED!). A reboot is welcome, and I can't wait to see what they do with it.

I like how is not a set up for a 3rd movie I was dreading that it could end up like the 2nd matrix film (not bad but forgettable)

Yea well I can already see it. Lots of unneeded sex scenes and stupid deaths with bad actors and a bad costume design. Yep, thats Michel Bay's style.

I thought that was Friday the 13th's style.

Seriously, it's not like this is f*cking Gone With the Wind we're talking about here.
