Mark Your Calendars: Michael Bay says Transformers 3 coming... on July 1, 2011
Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen - click above for high-res gallery
We may have found this summer's blockbuster, Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen to be heavy on the sizzle and lean on the meat, but that doesn't mean we've written off the series – after all, it's hard to dismiss excellent CG work, the childhood toys of our youth... to say nothing of that siren Megan Fox.
Thankfully, director Michael Bay informs us via his official website that the next installment is already in the works, and it's been assigned a release date – July 1 of 2011. That's a long time from now, granted, but Bay intimates in his blog post that Megan Fox has already signed on for the TF3 project, and hopefully Shia LaBeouf will make the scene too. Bay is already meeting with Hasbro to discuss new characters, so we'd expect a few new transforming automobiles to show up as well.
Here's hoping that they have enough time to craft a script that lives up to the special effects.

Transformers the cartoon was about robots. The last two movies were about people, love and then some cool robots thrown in to compliment this relationship. Big diff.

So will this movie be called "Revenge of the Saturns"?

I'm tired of Megan Fox and her toe thumbs. Lets get a new hotty. Also when is Hollywoodgoing to learn how to meke a movie in a year rather than two? This way we can have more episodes and the cast doesn't get too geriatric by the final film. Look at Harry Potter, those kids are ready to have kids of their own and are walking around with 5'oclock shadows.

As bad as I heard the last one was, I don't have any big hopes for this one either.

glad you take everything at its purported face value rather than investigating for yourself

Movies are expensive and my time is short. When everyone keeps telling me how bad a movie is, I don't bother seeing it.

Glad you listened to everyone and didn't pay 10 bucks to see it. I regrettably was convinced to go see it... I wish I could have held strong like you.

Is a $1 rental at Redbox too expensive also?

@Scott
No, but why bother. There are thousands of movies out there actually worth watching. Why waste time with one that people you trust have told you was a turd.
daleam 3:52AM (10/04/2009)
scott - No it isn't but I don't rent from redbox. I will probably see the movie eventually because I would like to see it, but I was not going to blow my money and time seeing the movie on the big screen. I value my money and time too much for that after all I heard about how bad the movie is.

I don't know....I thought the second transformer movie was as good or better then the first.
Maybe UAW members could fill in for some of the Extras slots since they'll probably not be very busy building cars by then

So...what you're saying is that you never saw the first one?

Wouldn't July 4th be more appropriate?

July 1 is a Friday. July 4 is a Monday.

The lack of actual car action in TF1 made me ignore TF2; and I think I'll stick to that...
Plus I'm kinda old for ***ing-off due hot chick in the movie/theatre.

Please no more Megan Fox, or bring another hot girl, cuz, seriously there are more girls as hot as Megan, maybe even more and knows how to act, cuz, Megan is just eye-candy, nothing else...
And, please bring Dinobots....
