Will Zombie Transformers Arise To Avenge Their Deaths?
Michael Bay's second Transformers movie is officially named Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen. Which could refer to the return of dead Transformers, such as Jazz and Megatron. Here's hoping that Bay thinks "out of the box" and brings them back as undead zombie-bots. In other "robots in disguise" news, Bay tried to smack down the rumors that Transformers 2 would just a stepping stone to another movie (like Matrix: Reloaded). Bay told MTV the practice of making crappy in-between movies was "lame." And he promised it would be more than just be another sequel — which would certainly be the case if it involved zombie car-robots. [MTV and IESB]
