The wait is over. Michael Bay's third installment of the "Transformers" franchise now has an official title. Take a deep breath it's: "Transformers: The Dark Of The Moon."
Yeah, we have no idea what it means either. We'll leave it to the super geeks out there to try and decipher what the title might mean in the mythological world of Mattel toys, but it probably has to do the story revolving around Transformers activity on the moon (snicker, guffaw). We are mostly interested to find out what David Gilmour or Roger Waters think, having a movie about a bunch of smashy smashy robots being titled similarly to Pink Floyd's seminal album, "Dark Side Of The Moon." We kind of hope there is a lawsuit because reaction from all sides will be hilarious.
The 3D mess of metallic explosions is currently filming and stars Shia LaBeouf, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, John Turturro, Alan Tudyk, Ken Jeong, Patrick Dempsey, and John Malkovich. It hits theaters on July 1, 2011. [Collider]
Back in the spring, Paramount acquired the rights to forthcoming novel "Gideon's Sword" by thriller writers Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child for Michael Bay to produce. Well it looks like he's now eyeing the director's chair.
Heat Vision reports that "Changing Lanes" writer Chap Taylor has been hired to adapt the forthcoming novel (it hits stores in February) "that would give Bay an opportunity to show character work while delivering high-octane set pieces." Because if there is one thing Bay has always prided himself on, it's character.
Anyway, the film "centers on a hero imbued with ability to convince people of almost anything. The story involves the man trying to clear the name of his father, falsely imprisoned by the NSA, and possibly save the world at the same time." So couldn't he just convince people at the NSA his father is innocent? We guess not so that's why chases and explosions and, oh right, character, will happen.
Michael Bay's next exploration of character and story will be "Transformers 3" hitting theaters on July 1, 2011.
