Transformers World Premiere in Taormina

Lead actor Shia LaBeouf and Director Michael Bay are expected to give a press conference tomorrow afternoon, and the screening is to take place at 8:30PM local time in Taormina's fabulous Greek theatre, where Autobots and the Decepticons will battle out Earth's future a couple of weeks before the movie opens in the US (July 4).
