'Transformers 3' Release Date Looks to 2012… Not 2011
Add another year to that date folks
I guess if you are going to announce a release date for your movie you should do your best to start by getting the year correct and go from there. On Monday Paramount announced a July 1, 2011 release date for Transformers 3 all while stating Michael Bay was not confirmed as director and no cast had been set. Basically, Paramount/DreamWorks were staking their ground and saying the July 4 weekend was theirs. But hold up, The Bay isn't on board with this as he writes on his message board with the subject line "Wait a minute!":
I said I was taking off a year from Transformers. Paramount made a mistake in dating Transformers 3 – they asked me on the phone – I said yes to July 4 – but for 2012 – whoops! Not 2011!!! That would mean I would have to start prep in September. No way. My brain needs a break from fighting robots.

As much as I didn't really like the first Transformers and am praying Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen doesn't carry on the tradition I will say making one of these movies has to be a complete bitch. On top of that, if I were Bay I would want to take a break from robots entirely. Directing three movies in a row based in the same world has got to be murder as I am sure Peter Jackson will tell us.
So boys and girls, look for more robots in 2012. Based on a quick peek at the calendar I can only assume they will go directly for the July 4, 2012 slot which lands on a Wednesday and bow the flick early on July 3 and push for a nice long weekend of box-office domination.

I would've preferred an announcement saying that they changed Directors for any future installments.
@Heath:
Bay isn't even signed on yet, so I really don't understand why he's calling the shots regarding the release date.
thats just stupid. when a movie series changes directors and cast it ruins the whole movie. sure there will still be robots fighting but not with the same supporters. (only if they do)
Yea, That's what he had said…Now this is what he is saying……He release the official Transformers 3 release date …… The link where I found it is below

the movie is great . i love it

i m from india.i love micheal bay.
I'm willing to bet anyone's Salary or Job for that matter that neither the 'Dinobots' nor 'Unicron' will ever be in this film (maybe even any film for that matter). 'Unicron' is too big of an element to be in the sequel, and the 'Dinos' are too irrelevant in today’s world. I'm guessing that it will be based on the mythology of "Energon" and the “Life” of any 'Transformer' on Earth as we know it. How will the “Transformers” continue to live on Earth without an energy source to live off of? According to Hasbro's CEO, "You’re going to see that great core mythology brought to the fore, and Michael is hard at work at making this a reality and we’re very excited about it," Hasbro's head Brian Goldner also quoted Mr. Bay stating, "What we’re really doing is getting back to some of the core character development and storytelling. And I think there’s some elements of the core story that the filmmakers, Michael in particular wanted to tell…" With that said, this sequels cast includes Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, John Malkovich, Frances McDormand, John Turturro, Patrick Dempsey, Ken Jeong, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, Ramon Rodriguez, Kevin Dunn, Julie White, and Kym Whitley, they really are focusing on character placement and development. It will be pretty difficult for Bay & Spielberg to come up with something historic as well as original. Possibly by now everyone has read the “Leaked Script” that was release immaturely late last year and everyone should know how that story was told, but everyone should also keep in mind that not everything presented from a “Leaked Script” is considered a complete fake; Nevertheless, that most of what is said is completely useless. This same leaked script does point out an issue that the humans are revolting against the same “Transformers” that have turned up here on Earth, which coincidently has been expressed and shown online with pictures depicting city walls and garbage cans spray-painted with crossed-out “Autobot” or “Decepticon” logos depicted in a circle with the words “Go Home” sprayed below. Many of you believe stories related to the comics and cartoons may seem too “Old,” while others may believe the stories that are original and/or new may not seem too “Traditional.” Either way, Hasbro, Paramount, Michael Bay, and Steven Spielberg can't make everyone happy at once. It will take several creative ideas to come together that will touch all generations. Basicly, from everything I've read (real or not) and stated here, Transformers 3 will be very simple (similar to Part 1) and less complex (similar to Part 2) where the storyline will be easy to follow, more understanding, over and above with dialog between the Humans and Robots; which will return with improvements and essentially become more in depth. By just adding a few newbie’s (Autobots / Decepticons) as well as bringing back all "survivors" from the last two films, I believe this film could be more epic than the other two combined; But, I believe that it will regrettably just resemble its predecessors and fail after its first opening weekend. The Transformers 3 story will suffer from dehydration while falling victim to an aging cast that will somehow bring some type of human emotion to the forefront.
