Thanks to Seibertron.com member hellkitty, we now have some information on when the actual filming of the third installment to the Transformers live actiom movie franchise may begin.

In a recent report done by Deadline Hollywood, we are informed that Transformers star Shia LaBeouf (Sam Witwicky) has signed with a new acting agency recently, suprising some in the Hollywood scene. The report stated that Mr. LaBeouf recently finished filming Wall Street 2: Money never sleeps and is set to begin working on Transformers 3 in May of 2010.

We'll keep you posted on further details as they become available.

WOW they prolly have a lot of cgi so they have to get the other footage started. Fingers crossed still for Unicron

They're rushing it a bit.
I dunno, I'm a bit iffy.
I think they should wait a year.
Take some time, get a tight story together.

This is makes since to me since they are shooting for a summertime 2011 espically if this maybe the final film in the trilogy meaning this will be bigger than the other 2 movies espically if Unicron will indeed be in this movie.

Also they could start on the movie earlier to begin CGI Work on Unicron cause they had a time with Devestator and he was just a 100 foot tall combiner now here we are with Unicron who is a Planet-Eater the size of a small asteroid with a Robotic Mode.

Also if you Remember Tony Todd in Revenge who voiced the Fallen he also played in Babylon 5 -A Call to Arms he played Captain Anderson of the Charon then upgraded to the Victory. Also he was in Resident Evil also I think as well as Candyman.

I dont wont a whole lot more more Robots in the 3rd one but I would like a bigger Autobot Team I am always tired of seeing the Autobots outnumbered 2 to 1 reminds of Jackie Chan movies where he is was always outnumbered.

It will probably take at least 6 to 8 months to finish production on this movie then you add in the CGI work for the bots and that is even more but since they are use to making these movies now I say it wont take that long but I want them to take thier time on this movie espically since it is the 3rd film.

Plus I am in no hurry for the 3rd film but I wanna see it more than the next guy does but with War for Cybertron coming out and the new series I can wait for a little while for TF 3.

This will be a big deal for me cause it is my 25th anniversary of Transformers as I was 4 or 5 years on when Transformers was launced in 1984/85 now when TF 3 hits in 2011 I will be 30 years old meaning 25 years of Transformers.

Frankly I don't care any more of they rush it. The sooner they grind this franchise into the ground, the sooner we get a reboot directed by someone with greater maturity than a 5 year old.

Wall Street 2? Seriously?

In my opinion they should take a break. ROTF was no where near as good as the 07 movie because they rushed it.
They need to just take a while to get the story altogether first(and without plot holes I.E. Constructicons).
Hopefully this one will have a lot less language and such. That part ruined alot of ROTF for me.

Woo~ Can't wait! 1.5 more year..

Wed Jan 13, 2010 3:34 am

Can't wait for this. Fingers crossed it's better than ROTF.
And I really hope that Unicron isn't in it. He's just too big. Yes, you need a main threat but remember Fantastic Four: RotSS? Galactus was too big and it ruined the threat and the human quality of the characters.
I'd like to see more character development with the TFs and still have those stylised action scenes that the franchise does so well

Unicron is very unlikely as it would be quite hard to realize the character within the confines of the movieverse, much in the same way that Galacticus was altered for FF2.

Plus Unicron was one of the elements Bay stated he had no interest in using, way before he started his disinformation policy's.

In all honesty, for the location shooting to start in May for a next summer release sounds like standard practice. Considering that shooting will take 6-10 weeks, plus special effects and all the standard post-production it's a fairly normal time table.

That's the first thing I thought too!!!

HAHAHA!!!

if Unicron is indeed in this one, i doubt very much he'll still be the planet sized, planet eating transformer. i'm sure they'll make him even bigger than Devastator to keep that part of him but yeah.

remember, this is the movie series that turned Soundwave into a 3 foot robot until someone thought the fans might be upset so they changed his name to Frenzy.

if Bay has any say, i'm sure Unicron will change into that aircraft carrier he wanted the first two times around. i recently watched The Matrix of Leadership collection and was shocked to realize there actually was an aircraft carrier character (though he was an autobot) so it would fit. the funny thing is he's huge in robot mode his first appearance and then the rest of the series he's like Prime's size or something. lol

gotta love the inconsistencies of the old show.

Broadside was one of the Autobot Triple-changers, but it's not surprising people forget about hims seeing the 3 'cons all got high profiles on the show, and only Springer was really given screen time for the 'bots. Also that one of the few episodes to give him a spotlight is Carnage and depending on most views one of the 2 worst episodes of the entire run.

Honestly I would love to see a Carrier transform in the next movie, It would blow Devs away, still be more believable than Unicron, but likely any toys would quite likely blow chunks.

Carnage in C Minor is one of the best Transformers episodes ever. My favorite part is when Galvatron and Soundwave are holding hands. Not to mention all the singing... to think, we were THAT close to having our very own musical episode.

I really dont care if Unicron dosent show up or not same case with the Mincons also I just want a good 3rd movie with newer bots and cool transformations and battle scenes.

They could use Buldgeon as the main villian in TF 3 also bring in new cons such as Scourge, Cyclonus and Thundercracker also new Autobots such as Ultramagnus, Hot Rod and Kup.

Triple Changers would be Astro Train, Springer and Blitzwing.

Combiners are Stunticons and Aerialbots.

my teams are 10 Autobots and 15 Decipticons cause the Autobots are always outnumbered. Plus we need Lazerbeak and Shockwave to be in TF 3 and if Bay wants his Aircraft Carrier to be in it then use Tidal Wave or Broadside.

With the success of the second one (box-office wise, I know people hated it) hopefully they'll be granted opportunities for some expensive CGI and hiring some nice writers. I liked the second one, but there were too many plot holes, and a lot of the ending wasn't necessary. The whole riddle thing was really corny. Plus, it ruined a lot established in the first movie. I really want some great action sequences like the forest battle and Shanghai, and a decent plot.

Saw the trailer for Wall street 2. Looks interesting. I was younger when i saw the first, so it wasn't so intriguing, but I will have to watch it again.
