Transformers Sequel To Focus More On Character

It won't just be all action and testosterone for the upcoming "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" as rewrites have been ordered to help strengthen some character scenes with star Shia LaBeouf.

That was among a number of tidbits about the Transformers sequel shared this week by Dark Horizons, a lot of it coming from LaBeouf's costar in the movie, Megan Fox, who promises that the new film will be "10 times as big" as the first one.

Some scenes will apparently take place in Paris, or in actuality parts of Philadelphia that could be substituted for Paris, that involves the parents of LaBeouf's character played by Julie White and Kevin Dunn. It's been reported that the two are being chased by a silver Saturn Astra through the city.

And finally, Paramount Pictures has made it clear that there won't be a "2" in the title of the film, despite the fact that it's a direct sequel.

"Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" had its story developed by Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman who wrote the first movie, and is once again being directed by Michael Bay. It's gearing up for a 2009 release.
