Paramount’s wasting no time replacing Megan Fox in Transformers 3: by yesterday they had already narrowed down the field to three candidates, and as of this afternoon, one had been chosen. Victoria’s Secret model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has apparently won the role over Sports Illustrated model (and Andy Roddick wife) Brooklyn Decker and former model Sarah Wright. Notice [...]

As the whole world now knows, as of last week, Megan Fox is no longer part of Transformers 3. What happened? Deadline reported that Paramount decided not to pick up her option, but the decision came from Michael Bay — meaning he effectively fired her. But then Fox’s publicist went to TheWrap with the story that [...]

The first casting news for Transformers 3 is a bit of a head-scratcher: prestige actors John Malkovich (Burn After Reading) and Frances McDormand (Fargo) have signed on. I guess Michael Bay is trying to emulate the Coen brothers. McDormand will play one of those boring government roles — national security adviser. Malkovich will play one of Shia [...]

It’s the newest fad, and it seems like Michael Bay is now caught up in it too — 3D. Bay, who once called 3D a “gimmick” (before Avatar came out) recently revealed in an interview on Starz that he’s been testing the process to see if it will work for Transformers 3: It’s a process we’re testing [...]

Michael Bay has been posting some brief updates on Tranformers 3 on his official “Shoot for the Edit” site lately and he’s dropped a handful of hints: Busy scouting - Chicago, Detroit, and Washington D.C. for Transformers last week. Things are going well. The script is feeling very different from the other two. And, in quoting an [...]

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen will finally drop on DVD this Tuesday, October 20th, after its massive $400 million box office run in the U.S. It’s still the #1 film of the year by a margin of about $100 million; second is Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince with $300 million. In an interview for the DVD [...]

With all the hoopla surrounding Megan Fox kinda-bashing Michael Bay and then Michael Bay lightly making fun of her, it’s not surprising that rumors are springing up that Megan Fox’s character, Mikaela Banes, will be killed off in Transformers 3. Making a valiant effort to squash those rumors is a hilariously silly website called Gossip Cop. [...]

After saying he wanted to wait three years before filming a third Transformers or suggesting that he might do a smaller movie called Pain and Gain before tackling another blockbuster, Michael Bay has unsurprisingly announced that he’s doing the exact opposite. Transformers 3 will come out on July 1st, 2011 — not 2012 like he’d [...]

Wow, this one got messy fast. I was going to post an article on it a few days ago, but then new stuff just kept happening. Basically, Megan Fox said some mildly rude things about Michael Bay, then a bunch of other people said rude stuff about Megan Fox, and then…actually, let me just post a [...]

One of the keepers of Michael Bay’s official site got word on where things stand with the inevitable Transformers 3: I spoke to Michael today and he had a little update on his future projects: He will be meeting later this week with Steven Spielberg, and Ehren Kruger to discuss ideas for Transformers 3. By the end [...]

Remember that embarrassing bit of narcissism from Revenge of the Fallen when you see the Bad Boys poster in Sam’s dorm room? Apparently Michael Bay is more attached to the franchise than we realized, because suddenly they’re talking about a Bad Boys 3. Before you get too excited — although if you actually love the first [...]

Being the #1 film of the year has some perks: namely, everybody naturally compares you to everything else that comes out afterwards. First there were the G.I. Joe vs. Transformers comparisons; now we’re getting a slew of Transformers vs. District 9 comparisons. What do the two have in common? Well, it’s more what they don’t: while [...]

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen rocketed to a five-day Wednesday-to-Sunday opening north of $200 million — only the second film after The Dark Knight to do that. And it just made another $14.9 million on Monday. In other words, there’s no stopping it — whether or not you liked it (and to be sure, a [...]

Ramon Rodriguez seems like kind of a cool guy. He was on Rescue Me, he was on The Wire, and apparently he can balance a spinning basketball on a pen he’s holding with his teeth. His role in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen was a classic Michael Bay-style annoying sidekick role; half the time he’s [...]

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen opened today. Which means it actually opened last night, at midnight, and after those showings, it had 3 a.m. showings. The result? $16 million bucks already. Only The Dark Knight and Star Wars Episode III have done better overnight business. According to Deadline Hollywood Daily, rival studios were guessing Transformers 2 [...]
