Paramount breathed a sigh of relief, not that there was any doubt, that Michael Bay officially signed on to Transformers 3 today. And, after conferring with Steven Spielberg, he set an early release date of July 1st, 2011 -- not 2012. He also took a potshot at Megan Fox whom he's welcoming back for T3. This is from Michael Bay's website:
Transformers 3: July 1st, 2011
10/01/2009 09:41 AM
Well its official: We have a great Transformers 3 story. The release date is now July 1st 2011. Not 2012.Today is Day One. This morning started with an ILM meeting for five hours in San Francisco. Currently I'm flying with writer Ehren Kruger to Rhode Island to talk to Hasbro about new characters.
P.S. Megan Fox, welcome back. I promise no alien robots will harm you in any way during the production of this motion picture. Please consult your Physician when working under my direction because some side effects can occur, such as mild dizziness, intense nausea, suicidal tendencies, depression, minor chest hair growth, random internal hemorrhaging and inability to sleep. As some directors may be hazardous to your health, please consult your Doctor to determine if this is right for you.
Pain and Gain is right after shooting of Trans 3.
Michael
And the world collectively breathes a sigh of relief.
YES YES YES YES YESSSS !!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
And Battleship ALREADY moved. B….6…..awwwww…..Michael Bay, YOU sunk my BATTLESHIP!!!!
“We have a great Transformers 3 story”
That’s an oxymoron if I’ve ever seen one. Loosely translated, it means “We thought of more shit to blow up and cooler camera angles of Megan Fox’s boobs.”
Yeah, it’s an oxymoron… and you, a moron!
sorry, I only speak English…
You also seem to be very fluent in “douchebagese”.
Yeah, it’s an oxymoron…and Megan Fox, a moron!
FTFY
no shit? everyone knows she’s a moron, BUT she’s hot, and she’s a pretty awesome actor.
I really liked both movies, and not only because they blew shit up and had Meagan Fox. They were both great movies, and I can’t wait for the next one to come out.
I can’t take this comment seriously, so I am just going to assume you are being sarcastic.
you’re a tool
Whats wrong with that?
Ya, she oughta be alot of fun to work with after that!
come on Transformers 1 and 2 both rocked. and if they showed megan fox and her sweet body to all the world so be it. i for one loved both the movies. i have been a fan of them since they first appeared as cartoons on tv. it shows that even machines can do whats right even thoe humans can not. it shows the good and evil in not only this world but if the powers to be would let us know about other worlds to. imagination is what makes you love or hate any movie..
Transformers 1 and 2 rocked, for those with rocks for brains.
HA HA. You’re funny. I’m laughing. HA HA.
This could be the funniest post in DHD or “dealine.com” history.
Transformers two rocked???? are you kidding me?? Transformers that fart fire? Transformers that talk ghetto and say “ima bust a cap in yo ass”???? A transformer that was pretty much a stolen idea from Terminator 3??? GTF outta here! That was the worst piece of garbage I have ever seen. it was as painful as watching JarJar Binks single handedly ruin Star Wars all over again. Sorry but i have to agree with Redmenace.
Umm, when you say a “transformer that was pretty much a stolen idea from Terminator 3,” I assume you’re referring to Alice. She was a “Pretender,” which has been an element of the “Transformers” universe since ‘88. So sayeth Wikipedia:
“Pretenders is a subline within the Transformers toy line, introduced in 1988. The concept behind the toy was that the Transformers were capable of disguising their robotic forms through the use of synthetic organic outer shells.
“A Pretender appears in Revenge of the Fallen in a Terminator fashion, posing as a human named “Alice”, played by Isabel Lucas. The novel and comics reveal she took her form and name from scanning an animatronic Alice in Wonderland robot.”
Damn you, John, for making me defend anything about TF2. DAMN YOU!!
Transformers 2 is so bad, it gave Satan a raging boner and he got jealous that he didn’t think of it first.

You should pitch that story idea to SOUTH PARK.
Hey david – you’re a retard.
Awesome. Keep this dude away from real movies. Hopefully he will sign up for transformers 4 though 11.What a king douche.But we are no better because we perpetuate that crap.
The megalomania of that “P.S.” is insufferable. She called you an annoying dick, Bay, not a breathtaking rollercoaster of a man.
As long as people keep paying to see dumb, loud, low brow mindless CGI infested films they will keep getting made. Sadly the average person nowadays does not have the smarts to watch good well made films about a good story and good acting ala The hurt locker, 500 days of Summer, etc.
Disengage brain, enjoy ,
1. Huge robots beating the living oil out of each other
and
2. Megan fox …occasionally in very little,
.. warning, disengage brain first, as trying to look for a plot or story or point to these movies other than listed above may cause irrationally troll like behaviour .
Transformers 2 was such a letdown that I’m not looking forward to #3 at all. It proved that Michael Bay is the wrong guy for this. Spielberg in his prime would have been the ideal director, but sadly, he isn’t what he used to be. At least, when it comes to directing summer blockbusters. Or maybe he shouldn’t be working with George Lucas.
Anyway, it’s gonna make a shitload of money just like the first two, so Michael Bay won’t be needing my money. He’ll do just fine.
This comment tells us everything we need to know regarding the importance they place on their stories … “Today is Day One. This morning started with an ILM meeting for five hours in San Francisco. “
Transformers 1/2 are very interesting movie but Megan Fox sexy appearance need not to be focused too much as the robots are the main characters. Not good for minor. Go for robots not sexy Megan Fox.
What a load of smelly wanks. Transformers is the biggest cash grab ever. Right up there with Myley Cyrus or Hannah Montana or whatever the fuck her alter ego / fake personality is. What fucking story exactly? Micheal Bay and his “creative” vision features a no talent sex object to ensure maximum cash withdrawl from all of the neanderthals dumb enough to pay to see it. Go save your self the money and watch two minutes of porn. At least they know what to do on screen. And no, I’ve never seen Transformers. Any movie that has endorcements with happy meals can suck my taint. Rant … over.
Aren’t those the side effects of WATCHING his movies?
You know….it’s is getting harder and harder to enjoy anything anymore because of the people who do nothing but rag on or try to be a critic about something. Transformers 1 and 2 were both good movies. The crowds I saw that went to see the movie loved it. It made lots of money and they were entertaining. Who cares what they showed as far as Megan Fox and her goods, or blowing stuff up. It is an “ACTION” movie! It’s supposed to have all those things! Relax! Have fun with it and the things people bring you for entertainment or whatever. You can be a critic all you want but c’mon, literally bashing someone on a personal level is absurd. Most of you peoples, criticize something so harshly because your friends will see your posts and if you actually like something they don’t then your afraid of what they may think of you. If you think you can do better then by all means, direct something that will make millions like Transformers or what ever kind of movie you think will top the box office for weeks. Neither movie was bad at all…..maybe what was bad was the way you went in to see it….including mind set, personality and even perhaps the way you wanted the movie to be done. A lot of people expect the movie to be just like it was when they were kids, or how it was in the comics, or whatever. Times change, people have better ideas and incorporate those into the time that we are living now, not 1980 when technology sucked and animation was weak compared to what we have today. All these people are trying to do is take yesterdays popular trends and mix them with today’s technology and in many cases it works out very well. So far, all of the new Batman’s, Transformers, GI Joes, Hulk movies, Iron Man’s etc have been good entertaining movies. All I’m saying is if you can do better then do it…..show people you can do better, don’t just bash someone who did what you couldn’t or haven’t done. For all Michael Bay bashers, I challenge you to do better. Enough for now….this ought to light a fire underneath the bashers who love to hate on anyone who comments on any forum…..
i know wat u mean some people have diffrent opinons like me i loved part one and two im dieing to see part three anyway back to the point here it dosent seem right what like seymour said people say bad commets on here i want to know wat date part 3 is comming out and i figured it out so now im happy just dont put no bad commets here i didient like how opyomis prime died because hes my faveorite robot out of all well can wat to par three comes out very soon O_O
Love love love love LOVE Michael Bay!
Wyler, Ford, Hawks and Hitchcock — go to hell! George Stevens, kiss my ass! Sydney Pollack MOVE OVER! Here comes Michael Bay! (Yeah!)
wait wait wait… you guys actually went and saw transformers 2. i think that in itself proves the powers of mild retardation are hard at work. now ur talking about going to see transformers 3? thats like standing next to the BOMB dropped on Hiroshima and saying “hmm, i think ill go catch the next mistake in this possible series” how bout i save you people some serious time and a few bucks. its gunna suck, but you CAN find all the screen shots of megan fox online.
and a hard LOL to the Satan/Boner thing
peace
Megan fox is exactly what she said in the first film “shallow”
DO IT RIGHT THIS TIME
Fine. Now if we could just get rid of that pesky, annoying Shia…

Sure, just give me a $200 million budget and I’ll give you a better movie than that overlong, plotless, racist, obnoxious, sexist, annoying piece of shit Michael Bay delivered. My version wouldn’t have those retarded twin robots who were incredibly annoying and completely useless. They made Jar Jar Binks look good. My version wouldn’t have that annoying roommate who was also completely useless. What a whiny little bitch. My version wouldn’t have that scene where Sam’s mom eats brownies. Should have ended up where it belongs, on the cutting room floor. And that’s just for starters.
Great…another crap from him. Just what we need to fry our already dead brain’s cell after watching Transformer 2.
I love reading from people who say how much they think TF2 sucked and in the same post say how they never watched it. Which is it? Did you hate it, or were you too cheap to go see it? If I wanted to see a modern adaptation with oscar winning performances I’d watch Titanic but when I went to see TF2 and when I go to see TF3 I will probably will get what I expect…. Shit blowing up, a little comic relief, perhaps even a token black guy, with a lot of amazing CGI effects and a linier story. What I expect not to see is a lot of moving dialog that pulls on the heart strings but rather a lot of fantastical dialog that requiresa brain and some imagination to follow. If you expect more and have doubts that it will deliver for you then stay home but after looking at the gross’ of the first 2 movies there are very few staying home and that trend will likely continue into the third movie.
T1 and T2 were great films, especially from a comic book genre. Envy always follows success — if you don’t like the films…It’s simple… stop watching them.
It’s not surprising that Michael Bay and Paramount announced Transformers 3 Official Release Date since Transformers 2 is by far the highest grossing movie of 2009. What does make it interesting or a surprise is that Director Michael Bay Originally said this ( from http://www.michael-bay.com ) “Wait a minute! I said I was taking off a year from Transformers. Paramount made a mistake in dating Transformers 3 – they asked me on the phone – I said yes to July 4 – but for 2012 – whoops! Not 2011!!! That would mean I would have to start prep in September. No way. My brain needs a break from fighting robots.”
Ok, well I’ve seen both TF1 and 2, so I’ll start by saying that I did enjoy TF1. TF2 on the other hand…about the most enjoyable part was when I thought the racist twins were going to get destroyed by Devastator. They are, by far, the worst things that could have been put in the movie and I can’t conceive how any producer wouldn’t have serious qualms about allowing the inclusion of bug-eyed, ghetto talking robots with gold buck teeth, not to mention the fact that they act like they’re afflicted with serious mental retardation and can’t even read. Elite Autobot Forces they most definitely are not. They could have easily given their screen time to Arcee or Sideswipe and it would have dramatically altered my perception of the movie as a whole. I certainly hope that MB drops those POS bots in the junkyard to rot, not to even be mentioned in TF3.
Beyond that, there were things that seemed a bit useless with Sam’s loser roommate and Shia’s horrible acting when he freaked out in class. His mom getting messed up on brownies I can live with, though she did go a bit further than needed. I can accept the corny ‘near-death’ vision of the Primes talking to Sam, but I think it could’ve been delivered differently. I wouldn’t call the movie bad just on these things alone, but combine these few examples with the racist twins and it really just makes me hate too many parts of the movie to say that it’s ‘good’.
Yea, Megan is hot and all…but she’s a shallow ditz and everyone knows it by now. I’ll check her out if she’s there, but I won’t miss her much if she’s not. I’m sure Micheal’s comments in the PS are him just being sarcastic since so much press is being given to her bashing of him, (considering he made her famous that’s not a great move imho) and the return bashing by crew members. I wouldn’t cry about saying he’s lucky to have her considering the only thing she brings to the table is her playboy looks and there’s millions of women that are just as hot out there.
well well if the movie comes out at 2011 perhaps a new hot star would rise at that time to replace megan.. today i do agree that megan is super hot still
IT’s funny how many people hate the movie, and how they ridicule the intelligence of people who enjoyed the movie. Both TF1 and TF2 were enjoyable I loved every minute.
What were you dumb asses expecting? An Oscar candidate? These are meant to be dumb loud action movies nothing more. Were they enjoyable absolutely, I actually feel bad for all the nimrod tight asses who can’t even sit back and enjoy a little popcorn entertainment anymore without making fun of everyone involved.
Is Michael Bay an excellent director nope, but who freaking cares. The action was enjoyable and the sequences with transforming were utterly fantastic. Thats all I came to see, and I will probably again enjoy the 3rd.
The part that really cracks me up: All the people bitching have never even EVER been involved in production or in cinema. Your sadly uncreative blabbering little minds are just sitting griping and bitching in ever possible cyberspace board or forum.
Seriously SHUT THE &^%% Up already and get over it. Get laid and get out and enjoy life!! Let all of us others who could give a rats ass about an oscar candidate go out and enjoy some big loud obnoxious action.
Instead of bitching and moaning about Michael Bay, why dont you convert that energy into a subject thats actually important. LIke what your leadership is doing with your Tax Dollars, Health Care and the Jobless rate. Seriously WAY MORE IMPORTANT THAT ALL YOUR STUPID INTERNET RAMBLINGS!!
I swear Im surrounded by absolute idiots!
im gonna agree with jonnyw. i enjoyed the first 2 films and got exactly what i wanted.transforming robots beating the hell out of each other and some light hearted humor and a tolerable plot. bring on t3 woohoo!
Are you people serious? It is a freaking kids movie about robots that transform. Were not talking about a film adaptation of Plato’s Republic.
Look, the movie lacked a few things namely that Jetfire was a rusty old robot. (OK gripe for making my favorite transformer a grumpy old man out of the way.)
It pulled in elements from the original transformer movie and that at least showed that had done some homework, even Arcee was in the movie.
That said, WTF do ya’ll want? I personally think ya’ll are just btchn’ because they did not follow the same plot line as the cartoon where the Decepticons and Autobots fight and crash onto earth in the Arc spacecraft.
Just be glad it was not like GI Joe, you know the move about the “Rise of Cobra” that never actually had Cobra do anything except get captured.
OMG THIS MOVIE WILL BE GREAT!!@!!!!!!!!
T1 and T2 were both wicked entertainment movies, fast paced action packed comic storylines for the big screen – the movies were aimed at both old school fans and newbies, I believe thats a tough task and Bay carried it off extremely well.
If you dont like the movie thats fine but you cant say they were poor quality because you disagree with some of the movies content. Stop sucking your own ass and smell the coffee, movies aren’t just made for you!
what will be the name of this new movie transformers 3 . i think the movie should be called transformers 3 All shall fall or
transformers 3 death of the decepticons
I think both t1 and t2 were both wack due to the fact I am a die hard fan of transformers.And neither movie made any since with the plots and story lines they have.First meagtron is a gun not a freaking plane.Devastator transforms to 6 robots.I have no idea what that was in the movie.The need to take a real look at the originalm cartoons generation1 and generation 2 and due they research.
To all of you people that need to find something in life to complain about.
Think of all of the movies that you feel are a waste of time and realize that you complain about a media that creates things.
Like jobs for people and cash flow not only for the people involved in the making of the films but for the towns they are shot in.
They also are not above paying there taxes one thing that to many people don’t do.
If you were to take half of the energy you expel into your disliking of entertaining things you two could be a successful person that people can hate.
So before the next person explains there dislike of anything just remember if you were rich you would not bitch!
DONE
The movie rocks. Its so cool i like Transformers 2 more than Tranformers 1. I hope there will be a Transformers 3. I hope its goning to be cool. Michael Bay you make the coolest movies.
From Juanita
Transformer 1 and 2 were both good movies. Cant wait for the 3rd one. What more can you ask for in an action movie. I grew up watching the old 80’s cartoons and was excited to hear they were making a movie about transformers!!! Wow all you complainers need to get laid or just f_ck off. B_tch and complain geeeez just find something else to b_tch about, “LIKE HOW SMALL ALL YOUR PENIS’ ARE!”
whats wrong with all you people….are you all retarded… i grew up on the transformers cartoons..and the movies t1 and t2 have done the transformer stories juctice..they where fantastic, brill , WOW !!!!!!!!THE 3RD installment will be as good if not better than the other 2….good luck to michael bay and may he do many more transformer movies…..as long as they keep getting fab story lines they can just keep going and if they need any story lines email me….
chris
I have seen both movies and for me, they were great. Now, I’m not saying that they were the greatest films of all time, but the action was good, the acting believable, and who doesn’t love giant robots? So maybe the second movie wasn’t quiet as good as the first? They rarely are. But hey, if what they are saying about the third movie, more characters (Yay Bumblebee!) and less “blow everything to bits” then I say we at least give it a chance.
Unless megan fox strips and gets buck naked in T3, they should just kill her off right at the start of the movie. They need to make sure this time tha tthe story makes sense… none of the huge plot holes like T2 had. And I mean GLARING holes like how they had 2 cube shards in the second movie, but for some reason theone they had didnt do what they needed so they went after the one labeuf had. It’s rediculous. T1 i loved T2 i hated, t3?
