There has been much Transformers 3 talk in the last few days, so what has been said and what could we expect from a sequel?
Transformers 3 hasn’t been officially announced but we all know it’s coming, and Michael Bay said on the red carpet this week that if it’s given the go ahead he will do it, despite recent rumors to the contrary. The dispute will likely come down to when it happens. “You’ve got to give it some time, I need a little rest,” said Bay. Indeed when Paramount and Dreamworks annouced last month that they had already set a release date - July 1, 2011 - Bay reacted angrily and demanded it be placed a year later.
Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox have both said they would like to return, as long as there is some sort of break in between. LaBeouf has his take on where Transformers 3 would go, “I think it will be darker, something crazy will happen, somebody’s got to die,” he said. “First movie the war was on our turf, the second was international, I think the next will be more of an intergalactic thing.”
You won’t be seeing it in 3-D. Earlier this year Bay called the technology a “gimmick” and said it wouldn’t feature in the next Transformers because it’s too constraining for his run-and-gun style of filmmaking. Shame.
As for the Dinobots, Bay wasn’t keen on getting them into the second movie but the search is always on for fresh territory and they’re running out of obvious new directions. The writers, if they stay on, say they would like to get the Dinobots in. Personally I think a few defective autobots scanning displays in a natural history museum will take care of the origins, it’s not difficult.
The writers have also expressed a strong interest in Galvatron (the ‘re-born’ form of a destroyed Megatron) and Unicron (the planet-sized transformer from the original animated movie) although the latter obviously presents a huge logistical problem - how is Shia LaBeouf going to battle an enemy the size of a planet?
What do you want to see happen in Transformers 3? Should Michael Bay direct? Which new characters do you want to see? Leave your plot ideas in the comments.
