European supercar will appear in next summer’s block buster

The product of Michael Bay’s latest insult to narrative cinema won’t hit the multiplexes until next June, but to whet our appetites the folks behind Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen have released some footage from the set - check it out above if you can stomach Bay spouting some congratulatory nonsense.

As you can see, the much-hyped Corvette Centennial Concept and the Chevy Volt will be joined by an Audi R8, as well as the latest sportbike from Buell, the Firebolt. Whether the German motor will morph into an alien with a soft spot for humanity is currently unclear…

Australian actress caught up in Transformers star’s crash

You may already have read about Shia LaBeouf’s alleged drink-driving incident, which saw the actor flip his Ford F-150 truck after allegedly (yeah, we have to use the word “alleged” a lot, just to be safe) making a left turn and then being hit by another car.

The authorities are now saying that LaBeouf was not at fault, and that the other driver involved in the prang ran a red light. Still, the star of Transformers and the recent Indiana Jones sequel, was charged with DUI (driving under the influence), so he’s not blameless in this.

Reports say that LaBeouf badly injured his hand in the crash, and required extensive surgery to patch it up. More interesting is the news that Shia’s female passenger was Isabel Lucas (pictured above), currently shooting Transformers 2 with LaBeouf. The not-unpretty Aussie actress suffered minor injuries in the accident.

More pics of Isabel after the jump, and a bonus video (’cause that’s what this post is all about)…
