THE eagerly-awaited third installment of sci-fi blockbuster Transformers made its world premiere in Moscow. The stars of the film, including Shia LaBeouf, Patrick Dempsey, Tyrese Gibson and (taking over from Megan Fox), Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, all attended the event.
Alternative rock band Linkin Park, whose music features on the movie’s soundtrack, performed a set in Red Square to thousands of Transformers fans.
Director Michael Bay promises that fans will no doubt enjoy the third Transformers movie more than the second outing.
The 46-year-old’s pride was bruised after part two of the franchise, 2009’s Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, did a bang-up job at the box office (bringing in more than $400 million domestically) but was roundly beat-up by critics.
Now, Bay is back with Transformers: Dark of the Moon, which opened in IMAX 3-D yesterday.
