A recent set visit to Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen revealed the sequel's biggest two stars hanging out on set.

If you look closely at the first photo of Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox, you can see the former's hand in a cast as a result of a recent car accident. If you look closely at the second, you can see the latter squeezing her own breasts.

Yowza!

Terminator Salvation: Look to the Title

Posted by Mr. Shrek on August 20th, 2008

In the market for a few Terminator Salvation spoilers?

Director McG (pictured) told MTV News that the best advice he can give fans is to analyze the title.

“Even though we may sin ultimately we deserve a second chance,” McG said, referring to the inspiration behind the name of this franchise reinvention.

Just like Termintor 2: Judgment Day, which alluded to the choice a Terminator must ultimately make, Terminator Salvation relates to the actions of a specific character, McG said. He wouldn't specify if that was John Connor (played in the new franchise by Christian Bale).

“Sometimes life is worth living when you make sacrifices so others may benefit,” the director told MTV.

How forbodeing...

Tyrese Gibson Will Be B.A. Baracus

Posted by Mr. Shrek on August 20th, 2008

There may be no date set to begin shooting on the Jonh Singleton-directed A-Team movie - but when the former teleivision show is adapted to the big screen, you can expect Tyrese Gibson to be a part of it.

And the former model has made no secret about the role he'll take on.

“It’s B.A. Baracus,” Gibson confirmed to MTV News. “I haven’t officially signed on — everything is still on standby — but the conversations coming my way feel right. I’m gonna try to put my touch on [the character]. I mean, I got the muscles!”

Those muscles will be on full display in Tyrese's next movie, Death Race. It opens on August 22.

Our ‘Twilight’ Quiz Is Looking For A Few More Good Questions

Posted by Brian Jacks on August 20th, 2008

'Twilight'Last week we asked you to help build our new “Twilight” quiz that will be built entirely out of fan-submitted questions. We got some really good responses, but we still need a few more.

So we’re putting out the call once more. We know you’ve got some good ones, so send your multiple-choice trivia questions about anything in the series’ four novels to quiz@mtv.com now through next “Twilight” Tuesday, August 27. Be sure to include the book titles and page numbers to back up your questions and answers (submissions without page numbers can’t be used). Please e-mail them instead of putting them in the comments (that way people can’t cheat and find the answers). We look forward to seeing what you come up with!

Daniel RadcliffeDan Radcliffe says “Half-Blood Prince” is worth the wait, because this film is “so different in tone.”

“It’s like what the Arctic Monkeys said about their second album: In the places when it’s dark, it’s even darker, and in the places when it’s light, it’s even lighter,” Radcliffe told a crowd during Tuesday night’s TimesTalks. “The dark parts are with Dumbledore and Voldemort and his influence on things, and the light parts are very, very fun stuff with Ron and Hermione. Jesse Cave, who plays Lavender, is just brilliant. We had a lot of fun.”

When Rupert Grint had his first kissing scene with Jesse, Radcliffe said he wanted to make him break character, so he stood in the back and made faces at him. “For years, we’ve been making each other laugh on set,” Radcliffe said, “and now it was time for me to get my revenge.”

Radcliffe hopes to get more “revenge” while shooting “Deathly Hallows” in February — but the scene he most looks forward to shooting is more of a solemn one: Harry’s final walk through the forest as he prepares for his death. “It’s more emotional and intense than the actual fight,” he said.

Radcliffe also hopes Gary Oldman, who played Harry’s godfather Sirius Black, is there for that long walk (as his character is in the book). After all, it was Oldman who taught Radcliffe how to act “bereaved” in the first place, since he had no idea how to put himself in Harry’s place when he’d lost someone he loved.

“It’s kind of hard to find that level when you’re 15,” Radcliffe said. “But he came up to me and said, ‘Do you mind if we get a bit intense?’ And then he came towards me. I thought he was going to hold me, but he shook me and screamed at me! So hard that when he let me go, I almost fell. I wanted to go crawl up in a fetal position. And then he said, ‘Throw your head back and scream.’ And it worked.”

Will Radcliffe need that kind of help on “Hallows”? He hopes not, but he’d like to see Oldman on set anyway. “I miss working with him,” he said. “I hope to work with him again one day.”
