Michael Bay Confirms Transformers 3 for July 1, 2011

tf3releasedate

Well, you guys asked for it, and you got it… Transformers 3 is happening, as of right now. Michael Bay announced on his blog today that pre-production has officially started on the third film in the series, and a release date has been set: July 1st, 2011. Mark it on your calendars kiddies. Ehren Kruger (Reindeer Games, The Brothers Grimm, Blood and Chocolate) is returning to write the script, although there has been no word as of yet on the involvement of Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman.

As for Megan Fox, well it appears that she will be returning as well, but that should come as no surprise, right? There had been a war of words between Michael Bay and Megan Fox over the past month or so, with Fox comparing Michael Bay to Hitler in an interview, and some loyal crew members coming to the defense of Bay, but in the end, nothing can trump the almighty dollar. Bay ended his post with a little playful jab at Fox:

“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.”

Bay also promises that his “indie” flick Pain and Gain will shoot right after Transformers 3. So are you excited or what? Will all the negative response to Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen have any influence at all on TF3? Is it possible to make a movie that’s even more incoherent than the last one?

  1. If it’s gonna turn out to be the worst movie of all time, I’m all for it

  2. If Michael Bay didn’t have such a bad taste in filmmaking, there would be a good chance he would be on of my favourite directors. Fucking Megan Fox? Speaking and saying he is an akward guy, acting like a general on set. WHOOP-DE-FUCKING-DOO, that is what is going on. Nerds are in fucking control, bitch.

  3. This really fuckin “Michael Bay’s”.
    i guess it could be worse. At least it’s not Uve Bowl directing it.

  4. “Will all the negative response to Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen have any influence at all on TF3?”

    Do the words “fuck” and “no” have any relevance to this question?

  5. Fuckin shit, can we at least get one Transformers movie that´s not aimed at 7 year olds?

  6. Why? The Transformers Movies Suck DICK!! The 3rd one will be no different. Big Ass Suck-Fest!! Bay you Suck!!

  7. Bring this on! love it! the Transformers movie’s have be GREAT,So i’m all for this.

  8. The crew chewing out Megan Fox is classic though. I don’t get why this is going on, was Michael Bay’s career in danger and these people felt they had to protect him?, but I do think it’s somehow appropriate.

  9. Yaaaay! What a relief! Summer 2011 is SAVED!

  10. HE’S ADDING MORE FUCKING ROBOTS. GOD HELP US ALL.

  11. Negative response don’t mean shit. It made money. Until people understand that and stop seeing bad movies then this Democracy of farce will continue. Just like in real life the people that should have the power to create a better world will have only moments at best.

  12. MORE FREAK’IN ROBOTS! LOVE IT.Transformer 4-2013, TF5-2015.

  13. what happened between him and fox? can anyone explain?

    also Bay doing ‘indie’ movie? ahem. O_o

  14. Its not gonna be all bad i have a felling maybe this time we can see Megan Fox having Sex with a machine..

  15. Transformers 2 is proof Bay can sell a bucket of shit. Stay away from the third.

  16. “Until people understand that and stop seeing bad movies then this Democracy of farce will continue. Just like in real life the people that should have the power to create a better world will have only moments at best”

    It all boils down to what you like. For every person(s) who think that a movie is bad there are going to be people who love the shit out of it. I personally liked transformer’s three despite the cheesiness.

    of course it will make money. That’s just commone sene. I wish they could get the next batman movie in the works instead of this gay ass transformer’s and spider man shit.

  17. The only good news is blogpost is that there will be no Transformers movie coming out in 2010.

  18. This is what Michael Bay had to say about the “crew letter” on his website.

    The Crew Letter

    I don’t condone the crew letter to Megan. And I don’t condone Megan’s outlandish quotes. But her crazy quips are part of her crazy charm. The fact of the matter I still love working with her, and I know we still get along. I even expect more crazy quotes from her on Transformers 3.

  19. So pissed off about TF2 that I will not be seeing this.

  20. “Is it possible to make a movie that’s even more incoherent than the last one?” LOL!!

  21. Robot sex in TF3?

  22. @ the het,Fuck you!”your not going to see it”? HO’NO,Like Bay or I or anyone give’s a shit FUCK OFF & DIE DICK-HEAD.

  23. Hey Machete, you’ve been attacking a lot of commenters on Film Junk for things they have said when they’ve done nothing more than express an opinion. Please chill the eff out or I will have to ban you.

  24. My Bad sean,Apologies to the Het & Machete is out.

  25. If Michael Bay is such a bad director and makes such crap movies then why did Transformers 2 make over $800 billion worldwide …. why does he still make more movies …. and why are his DVD/Bluray’s some of the highest selling movies ever.

    you do NOT go see michael bay movies for the story – you go for the insane action … end of story.

    If you dont like his films, dont watch them

    EASY !!!!

    ROLL ON TRANSFORMERS 3 … FTW !!!!

  26. EDIT: soory people …. $800 million, not BILLION … LOL !

  27. Warren: earning money doesn’t mean that it’s a good movie. with that mindset 50 cent is like Elvis reincarnated.

    furthermore, FJ community isn’t the only group who thought the movie was bad. TF2 has been getting shit reviews all across the board. a shit movie is a shit movie. don’t try to defend it by saying “it’s Michael Bay.. you shouldn’t expect great things”. that’s a pretty lame approach to defend a film.

  28. @Napalm
    OK, dont want to start a war here, just my 2 cents worth.

    Surely it comes down to a matter of preference and in that regard there are always people who will love it or hate it.
    It’s the same with all movies, music etc, there will always be the fans and the haters.
    So lets just say, there are Michael Bay supporters and haters and leave it at that otherwise we can go on and on an on.

    :)

  29. Fuck All you haters!!!! Transformers are the SHIT!!!! and ALWAYS Will Be!!!!! So why don’t you just go whack off!!! or something!!! Go Transformers!!!

    P.S. Megan Fox might be a Bitch, but who wouldn’t FUCK THE SHIT OUTTA HER???????
