Quote:
Paramount and DreamWorks are forging ahead with "Transformers 3," dating the movie for release on July 1, 2011.

It's the first word of the three-quel, although Paramount insiders downplayed the importance of the move.

They said the studio wanted to claim the date before a competitor did, considering that the 2011 summer release calendar is filling up.

No deals have been inked with director Michael Bay or franchise stars Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox. Nor has a writer been hired for the third installment.

The big-budget franchise has fast tried to claim the July Fourth holiday frame as its own. "Transformers" opened on July 3, 2007; "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" bows on June 24, 2009, one week before the holiday.

So they're banking on Revenge of the Fallen to be a hit?

I'm not saying it won't be. I loved the first movie. But come on at least wait until after opening weekend for Transformers 2 and see how it was received.

Whatever, I'll probably go see a third even if the second one is horrible.

Of course I don't know if anything can top the original cartoon series or the animated movie? I haven't even liked the newer animated series.

I watched the first one, and I kind of liked it at first, but after trying to watch a later episode it just seemed too little kiddie for me. That said I do like the Batman Brave and the Bold cartoon.

havent' seen that one.

The one I watch most often now is the Wolverine and the X-men one.

Of course I also end up watching Ben 10: Alien Force with my kids which is kind of superheroy and a little bit darker than the original Ben 10 series which was very kiddie.

Whoops!


On Monday, Paramount Pictures scheduled the DreamWorks-produced "Transformers 3" for July 1, 2011, even while acknowledging that no cast had yet been hired. On Tuesday, director Michael Bay took issue with the date.

"Paramount made a mistake," Bay wrote on his blog. "They asked me on the phone, (and) I said yes to July 4 (weekend) -- 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."

That's a pretty big whoops. Well I guess that pushes it back another year?
