I wasn't going to post anything so soon but this is some pretty big news. Yes, I know Transformers 2 wasn't exactly good. It was a pretty big letdown but somehow we all need to face the fact that we WILL head down to the cinema in July next year to watch it. No matter how disappointed I was with the last movie, it always gets me all worked up and excited when i find updates about the next one. Anyways, this is probably the first time we've heard anything about Transformers 3 and the news comes straight from the horse's mouth that is Michael Bay, the director. Since this kind of news doesn't get any more legit than this, I'm just going to copy and paste whatever he said.

" Hey, it's been a long time since I've posted. Just been a little busy.

Transformers 3 has been going very well. We are going to shoot in LA, Chicago, Washington DC, Florida, Texas, Africa, Moscow, and China. On the talent front, we just locked in Frances McDormand and John Malkovich. Both amazing actors I've always wanted to work with. We also just got Ken Jeong, he is the super funny actor stuck in the trunk from “Hangover” and the Doctor from “Knocked Up.”

We start shooting pre-shoots in about one month.

I also was at a Ferrari charity event this week raising money for a hospital being built by Ferrari in Haiti. I announced that night the newest Autobot to join Transformers: the Ferrari 458 Italia.

I also want to thank everyone on this site that donated to the Make -A-Wish charity. We raised $20,000 which I will personally be matching. This is a great charity where they make wishes come true for kids who are very ill. We have had many Kids from Make-A-Wish visit us on our Transformers sets and this time we will be posting video of their visits on Transformers 3. "

There you have it. More locations around the world and a brand spanking new transformer in the form of a super shiny Ferrari 458 Italia. With news that they managed to get John Malkovich in the movie, I once again have high hopes for the next installment. My hopes are likely to be "crushed by one of Devastator's giant wrecking balls" though

Oh and if your still a little fuzzy over who Ken Jeong is. He was the naked guy in the trunk of the car to be precise. He also appeared in Role Models(2008). I'll add a picture of him, John Malkovich and Frances McDormand along with the Ferrari pics below.
