Transformers is the third film in the live action Transformers series, directed by Michael Bay and produced by Steven Spielberg. It is the sequel to Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and is scheduled for release in July 1, 2011.
Shia Labeouf, Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson and Ramón Rodríguez are set to contniue their starring roles, with Peter Cullen returning as the voice of Optimus Prime.
DreamWorks and Paramount announced a July 1, 2011 release date in IMAX 3-D - this date is now back on schedule.
Filming is scheduled to start in May 2010, with shooting locations including Chicago and Moscow. Due to the revived interest in 3-D technology brought in by the success of Avatar, talks between Paramount, Industrial Light & Magic and Bay have considered the possibility of the next Transformers film to be filmed in 3-D and testing is being performed in bringing the technology into Michael Bay's work.
Bay is reluctant to film with 3-D cameras since in test he's found them to be too clunky for his filming style, but he doesn't want implement the technology in post production either since he is not pleased by the results.
