Transformers 3 is the working title for the third film in the live action Transformers series, directed by Michael Bay and produced by Steven Spielberg. It is the sequel to Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and is scheduled for release in July 1, 2011. Ehren Kruger, who collaborated in the writing of the second film, was said to be again involved in the writing. However, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, having written the first two movies, will not return for the third installment in the series. As with Revenge of the Fallen, Orci had earlier refused to guarantee whether he and Kurtzman would return for the third movie, because "we risk getting stale".
Production
As a preemptive measure, Paramount and Dreamworks announced a July 1, 2011 release date in IMAX 3-D for a third Transformers film before completion of Revenge of the Fallen. Bay responded, "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 1—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."
On October 1, 2009, Michael Bay revealed that Transformers 3 had already gone into pre-production, and its planned release was back to its originally intended date of July 1, 2011. Filming is scheduled to start in May 2010, with shooting locations including Chicago and Moscow.
Due to the revived interest in 3D technology, talks between Paramount, Industrial Light & Magic and Bay have considered the possibility of the next Transformers film to be filmed in 3D.
In a hidden extra for the Blu-ray version of Revenge of the Fallen, Bay expressed his intention to make Transformers 3 not necessarily larger than Revenge of the Fallen, but instead go deeper into the mythos, give it more character development, and make it darker and more emotional.
Cast
Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox are to reprise their roles as Sam and Mikaela respectively.
James Avery, who was best known as Phillip Banks from NBC's, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air has confirmed that he will voice Silverbolt as Ray Park has volunteered to play a major role in Transformers 3 as a human N.E.S.T. soldier. Also, Tyrese Gibson, who played Sgt. Epps, and Tony Todd, who voiced the Fallen, have been confirmed to return for the third movie.
Bumblebee and Optimus Prime are due to undergo an appearance overhaul for the third movie in the series, in an attempt to make Bumblebee look more mature and Optimus Prime more heroic.
Shortly after the release of Revenge of the Fallen, Orci said focusing on more Triple Changers would be interesting. He also mentioned he would like to introduce Unicron "for scale's sake". Unicron is also seen during the Transformers 3 preview video in the Revenge of the Fallen Blu-ray edition, but no comment is made on the subject.
