The second Transformers film, ‘Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen’ is just about three months away but Paramount and Dreamworks are already at work planning the third Transformers installment.
The third film has been given the release date of July 1st 2011!
From Variety:
It’s the first word of the three-quel, although Paramount insiders downplayed the importance of the move.
They said the studio wanted to claim the date before a competitor did, considering that the 2011 summer release calendar is filling up.
No deals have been inked with director Michael Bay or franchise stars Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox. Nor has a writer been hired for the third installment.
The big-budget franchise has fast tried to claim the July Fourth holiday frame as its own. “Transformers” opened on July 3, 2007; “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” bows on June 24, 2009, one week before the holiday.

I’m surprised by this news. The second one hasn’t come out yet and they are ready for this? Sure I loved the first one and it was a huge hit and will def see the second. Could be risky, but I guess they want to try to lock down the characters as soon as possible before Shia and Megan Fox do diff things.
