Stereo Pictures Korea president Sung Young-seok told Daily Variety that his company is in talks for three additional pictures at Warner and is bidding on a number of 3D films for individual directors, including one for Michael Bay.
Bay's next project is "Transformers 3," and there have been discussions among Bay, Paramount and Industrial Light & Magic about going 3D with the pic. The big stumbling block is the extra time required to do production and visual effects in 3D, as the movie's release date is already set. Having the pic post-converted could alleviate that problem.
Meaning there's a chance you'll be seeing your favorite Transformers leap through the screen July 1st, next year. To view the entire article, click here.

But really, isn't it going to be difficult to shoot something like this in 3D? I don't know how they do it these days, I'm under the impression they still set up two cameras like they did with Creature from the Black Lagoon.

(though it would be pretty sweet to watch Unicron explode in 3-D...)

Just like everything else related to the TF movies.

I believe he means one or two of the robots that made up Devastator. There seemed to be a lot of robots sharing the same alt mode in that movie. Alt modes go a long way toward determining how a robot looks. Robots sharing the same alt mode (i.e. a garbage truck or a crane) will often look very similar, leading people to get them mixed up.

A very fair point, but this is one of my problems withe film's detractors.
They complain about "I can't figure out what was going on! It was a mess!" No, it wasn't. They just didn't care to pay attention, or weren't capable of it. In both cases, neither of those are Bay's fault.
I'll agree that Bay does expect a lot of his audience, and tying up all the loose threads through out the movies is one of those moments.
However, anyone with a little patience, and a little common sense can see that Devastator is a hive mind of whatever Constructicon vehicles he so chooses to incorporate into his being.
And that the other Constructicons took their Earth forms as a way of disguise. Nothing more, nothing less. Well, one thing...their Earth forms allow them access to new weapons and technology. Plus it gives them the perfect camouflage for a sneak attack.
The troops that Megatron and The Fallen sent down to Earth were untested and had no prior experience with the humans, so they never realized that the humans would be able to see through their disguises. At that point, they stopped caring about hiding their true forms, which could explain why some of the Protoforms went unchanged.
As for the toys aspect of it, Devastator appeared in vehicle and combined robot mode only, not as individuals. So Hasbro did NOT lie to us when they made the Ultimate Class sized Devastator be just that. A combined robot formed of construction vehicles, minus individual robot modes. All you have to do is watch the movie to have this make sense.
And yes, I realize the individual Constructicons did have names, whereas Dev's components did not. (in the movie, that is.)
Now, on the flip side of that in the toy world, yes, Devastator's components have names, Legends Dev has robot modes, and individual Deluxe and Voyager Class figures were made of Long Haul, Rampage, and Demolishor. But that was out of necessity to a degree. Yes, it was a somewhat dirty money making tactic, leading people to believe these figures would combine together, I get that. But it also helped make sales with the nostalgia crowd. "I remember that guy!" plus they didn't want to hear us complain about "Why doesn't that toy have a name to it?!"
No matter which way it's handled, no one's going to win, and no one's going to let anyone win. So it's a stalemate for the next however many years to come and we're either going to have to learn to deal with it, or find some other outlet.
Bay's not perfect, but he's not stupid. If folks can't make the leap and figure out common sense things, that's their fault, not his.
Hasbro's not perfect, but they're not sleaze free either. They knew that if they made them seem like they all combined or did something, we collectors and the target audience of kids would buy it all up. And it worked. If we're dumb enough to buy into their product, we have only ourselves to blame.
If people paid more attention, there wouldn't be as many problems. At that point, you still wouldn't have to like the changes made and what's been done, but because you paid attention and thereby saved yourself from making a stupid decision, you've forfeited your right to bitch.
I really don't understand how people got all confused by the film, I really don't. As for Barricade's existence (is he alive? is he dead?) I will give you that one. That one should've probably been answered, but it's pretty much conceivable that the Autobots and N.E.S.T. finally caught up with him and eliminated him. And if they haven't, he could be more cannon fodder for TF3.

Let's be honest here, TF2 was rushed. I'm just hoping they spend more time on TF3.
And 3D would be awesome. I don't know why anyone is complaining about 3D! Did you not see AVATAR?!
3D is the future. Embrace it.

Well, excuuuuse us for trying to find alternate explanations that could conceivably explain plot holes. It's like painting over a stain on the floor rather than bitching about it, at least to me.
I'd embrace 3D if it didn't make me feel like I was going to hurl or have my skull pop like a zit!

Yeah I agree, I thought Avatar was a terrible wank, but seeing it in 2D would have been a less harrowing experience for me, but cinemas everywhere seemed to be only playing the 3D version at regular times, so you had no choice really, funny how the stats claim that 3D movies are being seen in record numbers! Moviegoers don't have much option!
*edit* well you DO have a choice, just don't see it

Giving Bay an excuse? Perhaps.
Definitely not the writers, however.
Bay needs more backing than he's received because he's had more crap shoveled his way, than anyone else, and he isn't the only one to blame. The writers? Hah. They're on their own. If the fandom wants to go after them, have at it.
As for the movie being rushed, let's be REALLY honest and recognize that's YOUR opinion. However, in the interest of being fair, I recognize your opinion and respect that you have it, no matter how much I disagree with it. But don't you dare state it as fact.
3D is not the future, I don't have to embrace anything. 3D is a fad that will burn out, given enough time. When people go back to 2D in HD, the next generation will say "Oh, this is the future of cinema." and learn that less is more. We've seen that kinda thing happen before, and not just in movies.
Oh and "no offense"? Your post was basically ramming an opinion down our throats. Don't do it again.

my only complaint about it being in 3d is this at theaters they give 3d glasses the lenses are clear not differnt coded, but dvd releases they give 3d glasses one lens blue & the other red so instead of watching movie 3d movie in apporpoate colors your watching 3d movie dvd release movie shows red & blue i watchmed jaws in 3d on movie channel & instead of the am being in d which it was it showed the decaticaped arm in colors of red & blue not the apporaite colrs as it was meant to be shown without the glasses on your face thats my only complaint.

And please folks, for the love of Primus don't anyone else mention bringing Unicron in as a plot possibility. TF3 is going to have enough issues of it's own to get past without adding that absurd notion to the mix.

It's just jumping on the band-wagon, now. I was looking forward to see 'Clash of the Titans', but now it's revealed that it will be in 3-D, I'm losing interest fast!
Avatar, an over-hyped and underwhelming experience that was supposed to be made specifically for 3-D, wasn't enhanced at all by the 3-D effect (and I had to pay more for the so-called 'privilege'! I felt ripped off!)
I hope they do NOT make TF3 in 3-D, there is absolutely no point, Bay dismisses it, and it wouldn't work with Bay's directing style at all. (It's the studio that wants it, I'll bet.)

While I think a 3D version of the movie would be awesome it's not realistic. I just don't think they have the time. It would rush the whole production and probably compromise the quality of the end result. Too bad.
Also I am saddened that not all of you enjoyed Avatar as much as I did. That is sad, but before you call it underwhelming or wank (?) just remember that it's still sold out. Might be going for a third round myself! Am I right fellow Avatar fans?
Also what's wrong with Unicron as a future villian? Someone that wants to destroy the universe seems like an exciting crisis. Decepticons bullying Earth can only be done in so many ways.

You're saying that if I don't want to see it in 3D and probably get sick, I have to skip the movie?

No he wasn't. He gave his opinion. Saying that 3D is the future is hardly ramming something down anyone's anything. Talking about how we can more or less all just leave if we're not going to share a view on a Transformers movie is much more of a throat ramming procedure than saying that 3D is the wave of the future.
And what's the 'don't do it again' for? That's unnecessary. We're not mods or anything (except for the mods, that is...) and we give our opinions and ideas with the notion that others will be accepting of our giving our ideas and opinions. The very least we can do is let others do the same.
Now tell me all about how I'm disrespectful of the opinions of others becuase I disagree with yours, cause that's an opinion too.

Isn't having 3D give you vertigo a legitimate complaint? I'm not dissing the idea... I'm just saying that it'd be nice to have the option to see it the regular way too.
Yeah I agree, I thought Avatar was a terrible wank, but seeing it in 2D would have been a less harrowing experience for me, but cinemas everywhere seemed to be only playing the 3D version at regular times, so you had no choice really, funny how the stats claim that 3D movies are being seen in record numbers! Moviegoers don't have much option!
*edit* well you DO have a choice, just don't see it*edit*
You're saying that if I don't want to see it in 3D and probably get sick, I have to skip the movie?
It depends on how it's shot. If it's like Coraline's 3D it's still watchable without glasses. I have the same problem with 3D movies that you do. Well that and headaches from eye strain. I normally can't get through an hour and a half movie without getting a headache or feeling nauseous from the 3D effect and motion. I dread the idea of a 2 hour plus Bay directed 3D Transformers movie. Like him or hate him one of his trademarks is his zooming and fast pace scenes. I'm expecting to have a crushing headache from that effect. I really hope the 3D effect is watchable without glasses until it hits dvd. Then it will most likely have an option to watch it normally.

exactly. I'm sick of all this vulgarness in the Transformers movies. I swear, if Superion has balls in TF3, then I'm going to be very disapointed. Anyway, if they put TF3 in 3D, then i wouldn't neccesarily mind, but I'd perfer it non-3D. Also, here's my wants for TF3:
Barricade
Unicron
maybe primus, and if morgan freeman did him, that actually would be pretty neat. or whoever did him in Cybertron
arialbots/superion (G1 look-alikes please)
unicron (eating other planets) & cybertron
Optimus, Jolt, Ironhide, Sideswipe, the twins, Ratchet, and BB to survive/ make it to the end

What are you talking about? Where was Devastator in two places?
I believe he means one or two of the robots that made up Devastator. There seemed to be a lot of robots sharing the same alt mode in that movie. Alt modes go a long way toward determining how a robot looks. Robots sharing the same alt mode (i.e. a garbage truck or a crane) will often look very similar, leading people to get them mixed up.
A very fair point, but this is one of my problems withe film's detractors.
They complain about "I can't figure out what was going on! It was a mess!" No, it wasn't. They just didn't care to pay attention, or weren't capable of it. In both cases, neither of those are Bay's fault.
I'll agree that Bay does expect a lot of his audience, and tying up all the loose threads through out the movies is one of those moments.
However, anyone with a little patience, and a little common sense can see that Devastator is a hive mind of whatever Constructicon vehicles he so chooses to incorporate into his being.
And that the other Constructicons took their Earth forms as a way of disguise. Nothing more, nothing less. Well, one thing...their Earth forms allow them access to new weapons and technology. Plus it gives them the perfect camouflage for a sneak attack.
The troops that Megatron and The Fallen sent down to Earth were untested and had no prior experience with the humans, so they never realized that the humans would be able to see through their disguises. At that point, they stopped caring about hiding their true forms, which could explain why some of the Protoforms went unchanged.
As for the toys aspect of it, Devastator appeared in vehicle and combined robot mode only, not as individuals. So Hasbro did NOT lie to us when they made the Ultimate Class sized Devastator be just that. A combined robot formed of construction vehicles, minus individual robot modes. All you have to do is watch the movie to have this make sense.
And yes, I realize the individual Constructicons did have names, whereas Dev's components did not. (in the movie, that is.)
Now, on the flip side of that in the toy world, yes, Devastator's components have names, Legends Dev has robot modes, and individual Deluxe and Voyager Class figures were made of Long Haul, Rampage, and Demolishor. But that was out of necessity to a degree. Yes, it was a somewhat dirty money making tactic, leading people to believe these figures would combine together, I get that. But it also helped make sales with the nostalgia crowd. "I remember that guy!" plus they didn't want to hear us complain about "Why doesn't that toy have a name to it?!"
No matter which way it's handled, no one's going to win, and no one's going to let anyone win. So it's a stalemate for the next however many years to come and we're either going to have to learn to deal with it, or find some other outlet.
Bay's not perfect, but he's not stupid. If folks can't make the leap and figure out common sense things, that's their fault, not his.
Hasbro's not perfect, but they're not sleaze free either. They knew that if they made them seem like they all combined or did something, we collectors and the target audience of kids would buy it all up. And it worked. If we're dumb enough to buy into their product, we have only ourselves to blame.
If people paid more attention, there wouldn't be as many problems. At that point, you still wouldn't have to like the changes made and what's been done, but because you paid attention and thereby saved yourself from making a stupid decision, you've forfeited your right to bitch.
I really don't understand how people got all confused by the film, I really don't. As for Barricade's existence (is he alive? is he dead?) I will give you that one. That one should've probably been answered, but it's pretty much conceivable that the Autobots and N.E.S.T. finally caught up with him and eliminated him. And if they haven't, he could be more cannon fodder for TF3.
I agree, all the plot holes people talk about are things they missed or minor differences in geography(which has nothing to do with the plot) that happen in all fiction.

I agree with you. Avatar in 3d was harrowing to watch. I think those full 3d movies are even worse for those of us with glasses, my eyes were dead after watching that movie.
If they wind up doing 3d, hopefully they would go with something where it wasn't 3d 100% of the time to make it tolerable.

if they make transformers 3D I hope it means we get to see unicron and cybertron because it will make more sense to use the 3D technology to show that rather than earth scenarios.
<sarcasm>
I'm totally seeing when they will send a military air squadron "to bring the rain" to cybertron along with some marines. Because we all know from the first two movies that we don't need no autobots to bring down the decepticons.
