According to Japanese site Eiga.com, Transformers Revenge of the Fallen will have its world premiere screening on June 8 in Japan, at the TOHO Cinemas Roppongi Hills, Tokyo. The premiere will be attended by the man himself, Michael Bay, and the stars Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox.

Dang, VIP only? Oh well, I am going to check out the theatre in Roppongi today anyways.

Please don't support this cheesy quality crap.
Go enjoy and support our fandom in the theaters.

This is soooo weird. I'm used to waiting months for movies, games etc. to come out in Japan. And Transformers comes early? Shhe yat. Amazing.
And no, I would not hold out any hope for a bootleg. I find the Japanese generally terrified to do anything remotely illegal. When my (adult) students find money on the street, whether it's 10 bucks or 1000 bucks, they hand it to the police without fail. I know this because we do a (pointless) lesson about "what would you do if you found money" and I get the same answer, 100% of the time.
I find that aspect of Japanese culture endearing. But someone pirating the movie with a cam in the theatre? No way. That's China.

Fixed.
IRC Japan was one of the LAST countries to have their opening day for the movie. Now THAT sucks. This is just a world premiere.

My girlfriend works for one of the main newspaper companies in Japan so as a writer she gets free tickets to these kind of events so I'm gonna be going! However, like one of the forum writers posted earlier, the premiere and release date are different and from what my girlfriend told me, we won't be able to see the movie tomorrow… Maybe here sources are incorrect though… I'll report after the red carpet event!
kjeevahh
yes, but usually with some kind of promotion for someone to be able to win tickets for it

Oh, that's right… still, I hope a little bit of info leaks out from the world premiere…

Sorry for stupid question, but isnt a world premiere VIP only ?
Allspark Master
Well, I just hope someone here is attending it; that way, some of the fans will know for sure if the movie kicks ass or not.
Blackout
lol "at Japan".
Mobb One
Wish I could. I lived in Tokyo right near Roppongi Hills for 2 weeks and that theater is kick ass!
Allspark Master
Is anyone here lucky enough to be attending the world premiere?
SkywarpSion

only three days to go till the world premiere of TF2 in japan Or did the date changed ?
VAwitch
And there will no doubt be screenings prior to it. Not to mention, I'd gladly sign a NDA to see TF2 @ BotCon Even something like the 4-segments, 20+min total that was press-screened of TF1 something like 2/3 mo before it came out.
Just gimme SOMETHING TF-good for my $50 night at Paramount!

Weather it comes from Japan or just a pirated copy from a fired crew member, the earlier a leaked version gets on the net, the more money they'll lose. And if a crew member doesn't do it, it will miraculously happen after the premier. Still, I'm happy for those who get to see it at its premiere.

I see a world premiere as the first chance the general public has a chance to see it. People have already seen it, granted they are higher up (hasbro employees, Speilberg). And there HAS to be test screenings already where some lucky ones have seen it. Maybe we get to see a cut that doesn't have 100% of the renderings done. I know some may not like that, but i love it. Seeing the steps and process' that happen to make a movie is a blast.
Again, i'm just trying to be optimistic, and i stand by my statement.

Recall
1. Using the term Gay as a negative is so 2002
2. Lots of countries have early premiers of big blockbuster movies, the release date doesn't change.

Japan isn't China……
