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 [...]

Earlier this month, Grey’s Anatomy’s Patrick Dempsey revealed that he was joining the cast of Transformers 3, which Paramount later confirmed. Originally, Dempsey was set to play Megan Fox’s boss — until certain recent events got in the way. Of course, it was never even revealed what type of boss he’d be playing, or what job [...]

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 [...]

Michael Bay has come out against doing Transformers 3 in 3D — but there’s still a possibility Paramount will force it anyway. There are two different ways to do 3D: shoot it with actual 3D cameras, which is what James Cameron did with Avatar, or shoot it in 2D and put the film through a 3D [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, longtime writing partners and two of the writers on the last two Transformers flicks, were chatting up the press recently because of the release of the DVDs of the two summer movies they worked on: Revenge of the Fallen and one of the year’s other big hits, Star Trek. While they’re [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

So Tyrese Gibson was at Comic-Con this past weekend to hype his upcoming movie Legion, which is about angels with machine guns. (Seriously, it looks awesome.) But naturally, with Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen still making an obscene amount of money around the world, he was asked if there were any immediate plans for a [...]

Shia LaBeouf and his Eagle Eye/Disturbia director DJ Caruso had long been planning on tackling a big-budget adaptation of Brian K. Vaughn’s graphic novel series Y: The Last Man, but recently LaBeouf dropped out of the potential flick — citing Transformers as the main reason why: You take Sam and you put a monkey on his [...]

Paramount recently announced via Variety that a third Transformers movie would come out on July 1st, 2011, maintaining the two-year break between films. Awesome, right? Not exactly. Following the news break, Michael Bay posted a retraction of sorts on his own website: Paramount made a mistake in dating Transformers 3 - they asked me on the phone [...]

Michael Bay gave a lengthy red carpet interview to Collider.com at the premiere of Friday the 13th. But even though he produced that movie, Transformers was naturally all he talked about. When asked how he got permission to shoot at the pyramids, his answer was not humble: I can kiss ass with the best of them. I [...]
