Transformers: Dark of the Moon (Transformers 3)

[Hot]

^ Interesting, so Megan Fox has a drug addiction in the third installment. :blink:

That truck looks familiar

[Tech Star]

Even though I don't think Megan looks all too good, she looked even worse in those photos. :pinch:

[Rappy Veteran]

That truck looks familiar

it's probably Brian Austin Green's

Screw those new pictures of Megan Fox on set ? she's the same make and model as in the previous films, after all. Here are some pics of the new Bumblebee! Plus Optimus Prime and a greatly redesigned Ratchet. [TFW2005 and TLAMB and TFW2005]

I actually like the front bumper from ROTF waaay better than the new one. The rims don't really fit the car either :unsure: As for Ratchet.. he's just coloured different and Optimus is still the same.

Ben Brown has posted two pictures from the Transformers 3 set on his Flickr page that seem to show off a plot point with a cross-out Autobot symbol and the phrase "Go Home". This seems to suggest that the public outing of the Transformers race and their war in the second movie is not going well for our heroes.

Last year, one of the more contentious aspects of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen was an Autobot duo, Mudflap and Skids, who seemed to embody an impressive collection of racist, urban stereotypes.

Yesterday there was word, based on a spy account of some Transformers 3 activity, that the twins would return for the third film. But Michael Bay has now said that isn?t the case.

Bay?s denial was terse: ?The Twins are not back in T3.?

[Tech Star]

:( They were hilarious. :p

Is Bay Lying?

Production of the movie Transformers 3 recently began to ramp up, and our spy photographers were lucky enough to grab a sneak peak of two of the newest cast members on set. It looks as though two new Chevrolet Sparks will be joining the lineup for the third installment of the action flick, adding to a star studded cast that already includes Ferrari?s all-new 458 Italia.

Sporting ?Autobot? center caps on the wheels, these two vehicles were captured doing some pre-production work before principal filming starts in a few weeks. We think you are looking at Skidz (green) and Mudflap (orange).

Skidz is looking much sportier than in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, with new front and rear fascias, larger fenders, sportier wheels and a big wing. Mudflap was previously based on the Chevy Traxx concept, but for this installment, it appears both cars will be built off the Chevy Spark.

General Motors will once again be the main vehicle supplier for the latest Transformers movie, so expect to see several other GM-badged vehicles, including a black and yellow Chevy Camaro as Bumblebee.

I also heard something about being the fight against Unicron! :)

Holy crap, I hope so.

A Convertible? HELL NO. :angry:

Why he wasn't made a Volkswagen Beetle like the original cartoon is beyond me.

[Razorwing]

Bay denies everything. Until the movie is released.

[BoredBozirini]

Bay denies there is even a Transformers 3 movie LOL

Alan Tudyk Joins Transformers 3

Alan Tudyk, who we will always consider as Wash from Firefly/Serenity despite his bulging film and TV career since he soared like a leaf on the wind, has been added to the cast of Transformers 3.

The Wrap reports that he?s snagged a currently unspecified role (though, like recent signing Patrick Dempsey, who is playing Megan Fox?s boss, we expect the details to slip out soon enough) in the film.

Michael Bay?s latest foray into the world of giant battling robots has rapidly been building an eclectic cast, with Dempsey, Frances McDormand and John Malkovich all getting cast in the movie, which is still under a relative veil of secrecy regarding its plot. But with word that Bay will be shooting scenes at Florida?s Kennedy Space Centre in September, we?re guessing there could be some orbital action. Trivia fans will note that the director last shot there while making Armageddon.

Since Serenity, Tudyk has appeared in the TV likes of Dollhouse and V, plus movies such as 3:10 To Yuma and the original Death At A Funeral. We?re excited to see him get some lefty blockbuster work, and hopefully Michael Bay will keep the camera still enough to let him do his thing.

Earlier this week we saw that filming on Transformers 3 is well underway. Shia LaBeouf is currently at the Cannes Film Festival for the premiere of Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, however he will be heading to set next week to begin work on the next installment.

While at Cannes LaBeouf spoke about the film, and said that it will improve on the second outing as it restores the human element that got lost in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

From The Associated Press:

?When I saw the second movie, I wasn?t impressed with what we did,? LaBeouf said in an interview Thursday at the Cannes Film Festival. ?There were some really wild stunts in it, but the heart was gone.?

On the second movie, ?we got lost. We tried to get bigger. It?s what happens to sequels. It?s like, how do you top the first one? You?ve got to go bigger,? LaBeouf said. ?Mike went so big that it became too big, and I think you lost the anchor of the movie. ? You lost a bit of the relationships. Unless you have those relationships, then the movie doesn?t matter. Then it?s just a bunch of robots fighting each other.?

With ?Transformers 3,? the toll of the robot war will be grave for our planet, LaBeouf said. ?There?s going to be a lot of death, human death. This time, they?re targeting humans,? LaBeouf said. ?It?s going to be the craziest action movie ever made, or we failed.?

Michael Bay: Megan Fox Reportedly Out of Transformers 3

I've just learned that Paramount won't be picking up Megan Fox's option on Transformers 3 -- and that it was "ultimately" director Michael Bay's decision. (So he gets his revenge for her remark comparing him to "Hitler".) Right now Bay and writer Ehren Kruger et al are finishing up the script for the threequel and "giving Shia a new love interest makes more sense for the story," an insider tells me. Bay will start casting immediately for the new female co-star. Let's hear your suggestions, readers...

So did Megan deserve to get fired? I say yes. No actor/actress can expect to go around dissing a director and expect to work together as if nothing happened. Much less the egotistical Bay. But in Fox, he had met his match. Why, as recently as this week Megan was quoted as dissing Bay yet again. In recent months she has shown off a more natural skin hue instead of her usual orange color -- and blamed the Transformers helmer for her unhealthy tanning binge. "I had been tanning a lot so that Michael would be happy with my skin tone. Every spare moment of sun that was outside, I had to be in it," the 24-year-old actress lamented in Allure magazine. "It's not going to happen again because of the damage and the possible skin cancer."

This is without doubt a huge blow to Megan's career, already damaged by her inability to open Twentieth's Fox Atomic film Jennifer's Body last September. The R-rated feminist horror flick did a pathetic $6.8M weekend for a script by Juno's Diablo Cody for a domestic total of only $16.2M and a worldwide take of just $31.5M. And talk about bad timing: right now she's doing publicity for her role in Jonah Hex to be released June 18th. Guess what everyone will ask her?

[Tech Star]

No loss here. She's not a good actor or even a good looker.

[Noveed]

No loss here. She's not a good actor or even a good looker.

I'd still hit it :laugh:

Looks wise shes nice, didnt get why she got a lip job though she looked pretty sweet as she was, not sure how the story would play out without her as she has been in the first 2. In essence Transformers was the movie that really "MADE" her.

With word that Megan Fox won?t be returning for Transformers 3 comes speculation as to who will replace her as Shia LaBeouf?s love interest. According to The Wrap Gemma Arterton is currently front-runner and has apparently already had discussions with Michael Bay. I?m not sure how likely this is however, as Arterton already has the Clash of the Titans and Prince of Persia franchises under her belt.

The Wrap name a few other potential candidates:

Models Bar Rafaeli and Miranda Kerr were both brought in to the project?s casting office to read for ?Transformers 3.?

Rafaeli is an Israeli model who is currently dating Leonardo DiCaprio and stars in Haim Bouzaglo?s indie psychological thriller ?Session,? which is in post-production.

Kerr is an Australian model whose acting experience seems to be limited to an episode of the CBS sitcom ?How I Met Your Mother? in which she played herself. She?s been one of the Victoria?s Secret Angels since mid-2007.

Brooklyn Decker is another gorgeous model whose name has been mentioned as a potential Fox replacement, and of the three models, her film career looks to be the brightest at the moment. She?s appeared on ?Chuck,? ?Ugly Betty? and USA?s ?Royal Pains,? and is currently filming the comedy ?Just Go With It? with Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston. She was also on the cover of this year?s Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, and is married to American tennis star Andy Roddick.

Filming is already underway so whoever does end up replacing Megan Fox will have to be free, good looking, willing to play a 2-dimensional character, and good at running.
