So this is the official banner for Transformers 3 and yes that's the official title...
So it seems that Shia LaBeouf and director Michael Bay will quit the transformers franchise for good. Here is what producer, Lorenzo di Bonaventura had to say..
According to uber producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura, he feels that for “Transformers” director Michael Bay and himself, the third part is most likely the last one, though of course the studio will keep on going. Blood from a stone and all that.
It may not be the end of the line of Transformers for Hasbro and Paramount, but I would think so. (For) Michael, I’m sure it is. He’s spent a lot of years working on one thing.
It certainly makes sense for Bay to leave the franchise after the third one. What else is there to do? The franchise itself probably won’t be able to go on for very long before it is “rebooted” in some fashion anyway. That’s the trendy thing to do now, isn’t it? Reboot it after the third one. Hey, worked for “Spider-Man”. (Maybe…)
As for LaBeouf, here's what he said..
Shia LaBeouf, who returns for his third outing as Sam Witwicky, makes some bold proclamations about the third film being the best one yet. He also declares it will be his last “Transformers” movie. He tells MTV:
This is, and I’m not just BS-ing you, it’s the best movie we’ve made of the three by far. The script is the best script we’ve had. The second movie, we were in the middle of a writers’ strike, writing on the go. The first movie, we had the discovery, and this movie really is the fruition of the rhythm we’ve created out of five years working together. I’m super proud of this movie…
There’s no more for me, at least. I’m never going to do it again. This is the last one, so it’s balls-out. This is the best movie we’ve made, period, and that’s a unanimous decision by everybody. The sizzle reel that [Bay] has been showing everybody on set, it’s so outrageous. I’m very, very, very, very proud of it.

While plot details have been under wraps on Transformers 3, Michael Bay and producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura have just spoken with USA Today on the set of the film and revealed a lot of new info on the production. Here are some highlights:
- Transformers 3 will be in 3D
- Characters that die stay dead
- Bay says “This one really builds to a final crescendo. It’s not three multiple endings.” He goes on to say, “As a trilogy, it really ends. It could be rebooted again, but I think it has a really killer ending.”
- The villain is Shockwave
- “Shia has this great line: ‘You know, I’ve saved the world twice, but I can’t get a job,’ ” di Bonaventura says.
- The movie features a space race between the U.S.S.R. and the USA
- They aim to upgrade the franchise with a more coherent story and less goofball humor
- Regarding the criticism of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Bay says, “I’ll take some of the criticism. It was very hard to put (the sequel) together that quickly after the writers’ strike (of 2007-08).”
While some might not be excited for Transformers 3, I’ve spoken to someone who knows a lot about the movie and they told me the script is infinitely better than the second film. But that shouldn’t be hard, as the second film’s script was not good. At all. Either way, I’m excited for TF3 as no one makes movies like Michael Bay.
Finally, here's a video showing a sneak peek on Transformers 3 : Dark of the Moon. Enjoy!
