A huge thanks to the lovely Ida for pointing me in the direction of the video of Isabel on Sunrise earlier today! A typically soft-spoken Isabel talks about the differences between The Wedding Party and Transformers and Red Dawn, plus Home & Away, the paparazzi, and Adrian Grenier! Watch away …

As posted about a month or so ago, Isabel was one of the preliminary nominees at the MTV Movie Awards, for her role in last years Transformers. The official nominees have been announced today, and Isabel is in the ‘final’ running for Best WTF Moment! Congratulations to Isabel, this is exciting news! You can vote for her HERE. Unfortunately she did not make the final nominees for Best Female Breakout Star, nor was Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen nominated for Best Movie.

Voting is open until Saturday June 5th, and the show airs live on Sunday June 6th on MTV! Let’s cross our fingers for Isabel to win here award and attend the event…

Thanks to Amanda for an alert about the MTV Movie Awards – Isabel is nominated in two categories!

Best WTF Moment – VOTE!
Isabel Lucas – ‘Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen’ – We’ve been decepticoned by Isabel Lucas.

Best Female Breakout Star – VOTE!
Isabel Lucas – ‘Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen’

Best Movie – VOTE!
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

Sadly nothing for Best Villain or Best Ass-Kicking Star though

Confusingly, this is only a nomination for a nomination, in that you have to vote now and those with the most votes will go on to be the final five main nominees in each category. Make sense?! Either way, vote vote vote!!

I came across a video of a deleted scene from Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen featuring Isabel the other day, and today have added screencaps from it. In this scene, Sam lays eyes on Alice for the first time, and she begins to work her charm on him!

I’ll add the video to our video page once it’s open … unless there is a high demand to see it now? Let me know and I can post it.

Scene Stealer: ‘Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen’
In “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,” motorcycles, bulldozers and toasters transform into a menacing militia, but it’s the robot with a more feminine side that stands out among the heavy metal soldiers. Alice, a “pretender” Decepticon, emerges in the form of a sexy coed who shares a near-fatal kiss with Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) via her titanium tongue. “We had to take a beautiful girl and turn her into a nasty killing machine in a short time,” said Matthew Butler, visual effects supervisor at Digital Domain in Venice.

The transformation begins with her face eroding away, revealing the components inside. “We didn’t want her to look like she had a skin disease,” Butler said. So, a zipper-like effect was created.

No green screen or motion capture was used when shooting actress Isabel Lucas. But it took seven months for a team of 20 to create countless layers of effects, devised with complex equations and meticulous rendering with the software Houdini to create the six-second shot.

Why Just 2 Seconds of Transformers 2 Took 3 Months to Complete
About six months ago, Michael Bay approached Digital Domain, the Academy Award winning special effects company behind movies like Benjamin Button, Titanic , and the The Fifth Element, with a last minute request. He needed a closeup. (WARNING: Minor Spoilers Ahead).

Megan Fox and Shia LaBeouf’s Transformers sequel has topped the 300 million dollar mark in the US.

Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen shot past the milestone this week after just 14 days on release.

It means the blockbuster is the second fastest movie to top 300 million dollars, behind last summer’s Batman flick The Dark Knight, which made it in 10 days.

So far the Transformers sequel has topped 600 million dollars worldwide.

The movie about shape-shifting robots is closing in on the original flick’s worldwide total of 700 million dollars.
