Ferrari 458 Italia with the Autobot emblem on the hood
Producer and director Michael Bay offered an update about the eagerly anticipated blockbuster-to-be, Transformers 3. In a statement, Bay said, “We are going to shoot in LA, Chicago, Washington DC, Florida, Texas, Africa, Moscow, and China. On the talent front, we just locked in Frances McDormand and John Malkovich. Both amazing actors I’ve always wanted to work with. We also just got Ken Jeong; he is the super funny actor stuck in the trunk from The Hangover and the doctor from Knocked Up.” Bay also revealed that pre-shoots will begin in approximately a month. We wonder if the world’s hottest women-Megan Fox-will get along with Bay this time out, since the two made a string of somewhat disparaging comments about one another during the press campaign for the second film in the franchise last summer.
Bay also revealed that he attended a Ferrari charity event recently, raising money for a hospital being built by Ferrari in Haiti. “I announced that night the newest Autobot to join Transformers: the Ferrari 458 Italia,” Bay said. “I also want to thank everyone on this site that donated to the Make-A-Wish charity. We raised $20,000, which I will personally be matching. This is a great charity where they make wishes come true for kids who are very ill. We have had many kids from Make-A-Wish visit us on our Transformers sets and this time we will be posting video of their visits on Transformers 3.” Transformers 3 is scheduled to hit the silver screen July 1, 2011.
