Transformers 3 Plot Details and More!

Posted on June 21, 2010 by Tyler Schirado

Of course, what would be a big budget franchise without the use of 3D? Transformers 3 is now confirmed to be tainted with the 3D stamp of approval, but no word on whether it will be post converted or shot in 3D. My assumption is that it will be post converted, due to Michael Bay’s lack of respect towards the technology. I don’t really blame him for his type of filming and that this was only a settlement on behalf of the studio’s demands. USA Today got the first big scoop of the big details and many more that have been speculated for Transformers 3. Spoiler warnings come after the jump!

Posted on May 10, 2010 by Tyler Schirado

From Entertainment Weekly, Paramount has confirmed the casting of Grey’s Anatomy actor, Patrick Dempsey, to be in Michael Bay’s Transformers 3. Demspey will be taking on the role of Mikaela Bane’s (Megan Fox) boss. His character also has alternative motives other than bossing around the brunette princess when he told BOL in an interview and translated, “Transformers 3, in which I’ll play a character who is much “darker” than the others.” Hopefully with their intentions of “keeping mythology,” Dempsey will play mad scientist Dr. Arkeville who will help the Decepticons with their plans to dominate the universe. Transformers 3 is set to be released in July, 2011 with Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, John Malkovich, Frances McDormand, Ken Jeong, and Kevin Dunn.
