It's Saturday and what better way to kick off the weekend than taking you to the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Red Carpet event B and colleagues attended on our recent Tokyo trip!
Happily in attendance Khairy (8TV), Kazen and B (TV3)
The scene that evening at Roppongi Hills was one filled with excitement. Despite not understanding Japanese, it was obvious from the excited buzz surrounding the carpet that Tokyo was ecstatic and in full anticipation of catching an up-close and personal glimpse of their favorite movie stars all the way from Hollywood!
Australia Today chatting up a Japanese celebrityYou see the really tall lady in the picture below? Well she's Miss Vietnam and she's apparently a host for one of the TV talk shows in Vietnam; also invited to the red carpet event. According to B and gang, despite her sneaky discreet moves, it was obvious that she was slowly but surely inching and squeezing her way to their spot (each crew set was given a small space for them to stand at the red carpet) in order to get more space for her crew!
The guys refused to give in to this beauty queen of course and stood their ground; guarding their small but precious spot!
Miss Vietnam looking almost ghost-like, towering above everyone else!Tyrese Gibson was the first to walk down the red carpet and he was a pleasure to watch! Looking every bit the movie star, he was such a good sport; perpetually laughing and joking with the Press. The MC of the event made a blunder when all the cast were called up on stage and announced this super star as Tyrese Wilson, which he made light of before running on stage to join the rest of the cast!
Fast becoming one of Hollywood's most promising young actors, Ramon Rodriguez who plays Leo Spitz in the movie was simply wonderful! Both friendly and funny, his smile was contagious throughout the event.
The much-awaited Megan Fox did not disappoint and was totally easy-going and bubbly. She was a terrific sport too! Caught up in the excitement and glitz and glam that Tokyo had in store that night, the cast were put up in the lovely Hyatt Park Hotel. I hear the bathroom alone is as big as my entire hotel room in Shinjuku!
As expected, Josh Duhamel looked oh so hot that evening! Despite his publicist was hurrying him through the Red Carpet walk, he was all smiles.
A picture of complete composure, Michael Bay was very cool, calm and collected; taking his time to answer questions hurled his way. He did mention a particular scene in the movie, the pyramid scene if you will, as the most challenging one to shoot so keep a lookout for that one!
And finally the hero of the movie arrived, accompanied by the loudest cheer and screams from the throng of fans and press crowd! Shia Labeouf appeared a little intense (probably from the heat that night) but was still very friendly, polite and attentive to the Press. Good for him!
Shia a great sport with his endorsement for TV3!
Michael Bay presented with a replica of Optimus PrimeThe international Press were later treated to a delicious dinner at Gonpachi Restaurant, which was where a bloodbath scene was filmed for the movie Kill Bill.
B really enjoyed the movie and will definitely be watching it again with me later. Action-packed throughout, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen apparently is even better than the first one. The guys found the romance part between Shia and Megan a little corny but overall it was a movie deserving of a standing ovation. I'm so glad B got to watch the movie and attend the Red Carpet event too. What an exciting memorable experience for my darling!
