USA Today talked with Michael Bay on the set of Transformers 3--spilling deets along the way
Despite not being a fan of 3-D, the film will be released in the fomat .
Bay partly blames the rush to crank out the first sequel so soon after the writer's strike for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
Shockwave has been confirmed as the villain, the character described as "the robot cyclops-turned-laser-cannon, who became dictator of their home world of Cybertron after the other Autobots and Decepticons journeyed to Earth."
A key story element uses the Cold War space race between the U.S.S.R. and the USA with a hidden Transformers role in it that remains one of the planet's most dangerous secrets.
Bay says this third one "really builds to a final crescendo. It's not three multiple endings" and they've removed much of the "dorky comedy". This includes the racist robot twins who are "basically gone", but John Turturro still provides the comic relief.
Also don't expect any resurrections as this is a 'trilogy capper' - "As a trilogy, it really ends. It could be rebooted again, but I think it has a really killer ending.
Meantime star Shia Labeouf misses Megan Fox:
"I love Megan and I miss the girl,--but Sam and Mikaela became one character, and here … you have discovery again from a new perspective."--in the form of model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
Transformers 3 will be released July 1st 2011.
