OMG!!! It is finally confirmed by Michael Bay (the director of Transformers and Transformers II: the Revenge of the Fallen) that there would be a trilogy. The movie would be entitled Transformers III: Dark of the Moon. I could give you the latest, hottest and juiciest updates about the said movie. Let us start first with the most popular rumour that Megan fox (also known as Mikaela Banes) would not be in the third movie. All I can say is that rumour is very much true. It is said that Michael Bay and Megan Fox had a fight while the side of Megan said that she wanted to try something new and leave the movie. Michael found Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (a model from Victoria’s Secret commercials) to be replacing Megan Fox as the leading lady and love interest of Shia LaBeouf (also known as Sam Witwicky). Rosie will have the character name as Carly. Now for the second rumour, the news have been spreading that Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman (writers of the first two movies) will not return for the third installment in the series. One proof is that Ehren Kruger, who collaborated in the writing of the second film, was said to be again involved in the writing. And now for my favourite part of this blog---the unveiling of cast and characters.
Cast and characters
Humans
§ Shia LaBeouf plays Sam Witwicky. The leading human character who is friends with the Autobots. It seems that Sam will possess a power glove in the movie.
§ Rosie Huntington-Whiteley plays Carly. Sam's new love Interest who was in the original 1984 animated series. Huntington-Whiteley had worked with director Michael Bay before in various Victoria's Secret commercials. Other actresses considered for the role included Gemma Arterton, Bar Refaeli, Miranda Kerr and Brooklyn Decker.
§ Josh Duhamel plays Major William Lennox. The leader of NEST, an international taskforce battling Decepticons with the Autobots.
§ Tyrese Gibson plays Chief Robert Epps. A combat controller and a member of NEST.
§ John Turturro plays Agent Seymour Simmons. A former agent of the terminated Sector 7 unit.
§ Patrick Dempsey plays Dylan, Carly's boss, who is a race-car driver with a huge collection of cars. Dempsey described his role as "darker" than others and "significant to the plot". Dempsey was initially cast to play Mikaela's boss but with Mikaela out of the movie, he'll be playing Carly's boss.
§ Ramón Rodríguez plays Leo Spitz. Sam's former roommate in the last movie.
§ Kevin Dunn and Julie White play Ron and Judy Witwicky, Sam's parents.
§ Glenn Morshower plays General Morshower, A NEST member who communicates with the squad in the Pentagon.
§ Lester Speight plays Hardcore Eddie. The new NEST Member. He is an old school soldier who has seen it all and done it all and fought in war along with Epps' father many years ago.
§ Alan Tudyk plays Dutch, Agent Simmons' assistant.
§ John Malkovich plays Bruce, Sam's first boss.
§ Frances McDormand plays US government's National Intelligence Director.
Autobots
§ Peter Cullen voices Optimus Prime, the Autobot leader. He retains his alternate mode of a blue Peterbilt 379 truck with red flame decals, with the addition of a trailer similar to his G1 counterpart. He was modified to look more heroic.
§ Bumblebee, Sam's guardian that turns into a fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro. Bumblebee has also gone through some changes, his alternate mode featuring a new body kit and paint job. He was modified to look more mature.
§ Jess Harnell voices Ironhide, the Autobot weapons specialist who transforms into a GMC Topkick.
§ Robert Foxworth voices Ratchet, the Autobot medic who transforms into a search and rescue Hummer H2. Ratchet also had some changes done to his alt mode, he has been painted green and white.
§ Andre Sogliuzzo voices Sideswipe, the Autobot who turns into a silver Chevrolet Corvette Centennial, now made into a convertible.
§ An Autobot who will debut as a Ferrari 458 Italia.
§ An Autobot will debut as a red/black Rosenbauer Panther fire truck. A security guard said that it would be Sentinel Prime, Optimus Prime's father.
§ James Avery will provide the voice of Silverbolt, one of the Autobot-allied Aerialbots.
§ The Wreckers, an Autobot sub-team that transform into heavily armed NASCAR Chevrolet Impala stock cars equipped with machine guns. They function as a Commando Unit. The members of the Wreckers are:
§ A Juan Pablo Montoya #42 Target car.
§ A Dale Earnhardt, Jr. #88 AMP Energy/National Guard car.
§ A Jimmie Johnson #48 Lowe's/Kobalt car.
§ Skids and Mudflap, also known as the twins. Although Bay denied that Skids and Mudflap would appear in the third film, two Chevrolet Spark cars with Autobot insignias resembling the Twins have been spotted. This has led to speculation that Bay's denial may be part of a "misinformation campaign" by Bay, like the one he put up for Revenge of the Fallen.
§ A blue Mercedes-Benz E550 will debut as an Autobot, he is confirmed to be the same robot whose form looks similar to Albert Einstein. It is rumored to be Wheeljack.
§ Wheelie, a blue radio-controlled toy monster truck. A former Decepticon that joined the Autobots.
Decepticons
§ Hugo Weaving voices Megatron, the Decepticon Leader that has changed his alternate mode to an armored rusty Mack Titan tank truck equipped with heavy weaponry. He has been described as the demented version of Optimus Prime's vehicle mode.
§ Charlie Adler voices Starscream, the air commander who transforms into an F-22 Raptor.
§ Frank Welker voices Soundwave, Megatron's communication officer.
§ Shockwave, revealed by Michael Bay as the main villain.
§ A Decepticon has been revealed to turn into a Superfund armored truck.
§ The Dreads, a group of Decepticon clones that turn into Chevrolet Suburban emergency vehicles. The Dreads have often been seen on set driving next to Megatron.
Finally I found the official trailer.
This movie is scheduled for release on July 1, 2011 in Real D 3D and IMAX 3D. And that ends my blog for this week. I hope you enjoyed it. I want to thank http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformers:_Dark_of_the_Moon# for providing the updates and the necessary information.
