 | | | Revenge of the Fallen Primary Shooting Completed, Second Unit Shooting in Paris | | Posted on 10-28-2008 at 02:34 PM by Sol Fury | RSS Feeds | Primary shooting on Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen has recently finished, according to Just Jared.com who have a selection of photos of star Shia Labeouf touching down at Los Angeles airport having recently completed filming.
However, the production of the film is not quite over yet as this report indicates. The report states that Michael Bay and a production crew were shooting at the Place de la Concorde in Paris, which included taking shots of the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe. This is most likely the second unit which during a films production typically films landmarks and scenes that do not involve the main actors, as evidenced by the lack of the main cast during filming.

They're done in the Middle-East and the crew was spotted in Paris France filming that famous landmark that looks like a giant arch in the middle of the city. It was not anything action related, just them filming a news reporter doing some reporting on location.
Hopefully something blows up.

Hopefully something blows up. | That would be L'Arc de Triomphe.
Wheeljack_Prime:
I'd love to the the L'arc blow up.
darthrage:
i hope its a scene with people running and screaming because they see some window washer poles with neon green tennis balls at the top and Michael Bay says RUN RUN RUN there's an Evil Robot!!

It looks like it was a lie.

If Orci didn't know, it's probably second unit.
darthrage:
none of the main actors were on set but Michael Bay was there
with regards to Orci, he hasn't exactly been straight up with us. Only been saying things like "I think so, its possible, maybe, we'll see, I'll get back to you" Haha
Digilaut:
Sigh..
It's probably second unit filming landmarks and less-important scenes. You can't have a scene in Paris without seeing the Eiffel tower or the Arc de Triomphe. Doesn't mean the actors have to go all the way to Paris to shoot action scenes.
Wish some of you would use some common sense before jumping to the conclusion of people being liars.
Poho:
it'd be neat to see a bot climbing the eiffel tower, but i doubt that'll happen.

Except for a few questions about the first movie which he answered to some extent, the "ask bob" thread is 99% made of useless single-short-sentence answers with no real information.
darthrage:
so they're officially done principal photography? And just doing 2nd unit and pick-up shots now?
eyeballkid:
I have a feeling that this movie is going to be absolutely huge. Anybody know what the budget is? The locations alone should be a big clue.
I hope this makes enough money to have space battles and battles on Cybertron in TF3. That would be badass!
TFfan08:
Its almost november and Shooting is not over yet.  (Awesome) No teaser trailer until very very late of November.

Where's a source or a photo, how do we know this is legit?

Whatever the final budget, I hope Devastator knocks down the Eiffel Tower. That would uraydo: Quote:

Especailly if one of them (ie Devastator) took the (oh screw it) BIG FREAKIN TOWER in Paris and smacked some one with it, now that would be great!!!! Tell_Story:
For all the characters we heard are going to be in this movie Arcee, Devasator, Soundwave and so one. We sure didn't see a whole lot of them through out the shooting. We mainly saw Optimus, Ironhide, Bumblebee, Ratchet, Sideswipe, Cliffjumper and who ever the green car is. Not a whole lot of other characters
