New Official Megan Fox Image from ROTF April 30th, 2009

Yahoo have posted a new official image of Mikaela (Megan Fox) from Transformers Revenge of the Fallen:

Megan Fox has also been speaking to USA Weekend:

Before landing high-profile movies and magazine covers, you were [a] TV sitcom sidekick. Did you ever doubt you’d wind up where you are now?
Megan: …I started acting as a way to make money and avoid college. I sort of fell into it having no idea what I was doing … in “Transformers” as well.

Is it true that you didn’t know you were the female lead in “Transformers” until the end of filming?
Megan: Yes. Everything was on lockdown. The script wasn’t released to anyone. The director, Michael Bay, was the only one who’d seen it.

Megan, you and “Transformers” co-star Shia LaBeouf are good friends. Were your make-out scenes uncomfortable?
Megan: It’s always weird. That’s not something that’s ever romantic or sexy. Doing an on-set kiss is just strange, and knowing Shia so well makes it even more strange.

OK, but the ladies want to know: How is he?
Megan: [Laughs.] Very good.

In “Revenge,” you flee evil Decepticons for just about the entire movie. At least your male co-stars hauled butt in comfy sneakers — you were in heels!
Megan: Stilettos — and for the last part of the film, motorcycle boots. I had major shinsplints and threw out my back a couple times. Beyond that, Michael likes everyone freakishly tan, so we were painted maroon, like in the old Westerns when they hired Caucasians to play Native Americans. I had on fake eyelashes, running through the desert with sand stuck in them, and I’m sweating off all the makeup. It looked like we were making a tragedy.

For many young actors, Megan, being in “Revenge” would be like the pinnacle of their career. But you’ve hinted that, in the end, movies about shape-shifting robots are nothing to write home about. How do you define success?
Megan: I’d like to develop my skills to where I can be recognized as a good actress. That’s my end goal. It has nothing to do with the box office. It’s about peer recognition and critical acclaim, even on a small level. I mean, I’m not trying to take Cate Blanchett down. I just want to improve.

New Transformers 2 Trailer leaks early! April 29th, 2009

UPDATE: Final Transformers 2 Trailer released in HD
See also our in depth analysis of the trailer with high quality screenshots of all the key scenes, robots and Megan Fox.

A grainy in-theater version has leaked early, given the quality of these things, this one is pretty watchable. Lots of new footage and a lot more of the storyline in this trailer. Including a shot of Devastator climbing up a pyramid.

UPDATE: Changing video source to one that works, though sound is out of sync:
