It has been a few days since our last Transformers 2 Update. On Wednesday, filming continued at Laurel Hill Cemetery, where both Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and that Chevy Beat concept car (not pictured) were spotted in alt mode. [tflive]
The crew has been busy shooting scenes at UPENN, which will double as Sam Witwicky’s (Shia LaBeouf) college. Kendall Whitehouse has more photos of them setting up on Flickr. Kevin Dunn, who plays Sam Witwicky’s father Ron was spotted by fadedsilverscreen with a visitor sticker on his chest. This is the first confirmation that he is featured in the sequel. Julie White who played Sam’s mother Judy Witwicky in the original film, was no where in sight.
A banner outside University of Pennsylvania’s fraternity Psi Upsilon (known as “The Castle”) advertises a frat party, which was filmed later that night.
One extra describes a scene that was shot to TFLive:
“Shia was sitting on a old wooden chair when this girl in a green short dress (who I thought was an extra) was dancing in front of him and kept leaning into him. That’s it for the scene I was in but there is a lot more to it.”
The girl in the green dress is actually Isabel Lucas, who is playing Sam’s college friend (or maybe more?) named Alice.
A sequence involving Bumblebee racing down the street doing peel outs and 180’s was also filmed on 32nd and Chestnut. Jszack caught some of it on camera.
Later that night they filmed a scene where Isabel Lucas storms away from Bumblebee (in alt mode) after saying something to Sam through the passenger’s side window, leaving Shia LaBoeuf to talk to (or possibly yell at?) the car. Not exactly sure how this fits into the scene, but they were squirting this glowing green goo on Lucas. Thanks to zacklur for the photos. And yes, that is Michael Bay directing Shia and Isabel in the photo below.

That Camaro is noticeably different. The front fascia, hood, and color are different from the concept used in the last film. That car’s orange. Could it be another character other than bumble bee, or is Michael Bay bold enough to change not only Bumblebee’s original car, but also his color too?

The rims are different, too, and the car looks much more aggressive than I’d think Bumblebee represents.

I’m pretty sure the color is the same, it’s probably the lighting that makes it seem different. I think the car may be the production model of the Camaro accounting for the differences in the front end. As for the scene goes I bet BB doesn’t like the girl because it isn’t Mikaela(Megan Fox) so it gives her a hard time and squirts green stuff on her. I agree with BB I wouldn’t want anybody but Megan Fox riding in me either.

Yes more pictures of Megan Fox please :p

That would be the first time that a production model rolled off the factory floor looking more aggressive than the concept. I highly doubt that’s a production model. And upon further inspection, the color is right. It’s the type of paint that appears different colors at night or in cases of extreme sunlight.

just like the first one this it’s going to suck. why the fuck can’t they keep the original cartoon story line instead of stupid all spark, Jazz’s death and the boy’s name being sam. in the cartoon there was no all spark, Jazz never died and the boy’s name was spike. Transformers 2 i9 want Iron Hide to die. at least keep that the same seeing that he died in the cartoon movie.

In the second movie i want starscream to die. Not jazz or any autobots. Hopefully none of the autobots to die.
