Variety broke the news yesterday that Transformers 3 would be coming out July 1, 2011. Well Michael Bay had this to say back to the studio:
Wait a Minute!
I said I was taking off a year from Transformers. Paramount made a mistake in dating Transformers 3 - they asked me on the phone - I said yes to July 4 - but for 2012 - whoops! Not 2011!!! That would mean I would have to start prep in September. No way. My brain needs a break from fighting robots.

When called for a comment from the studio the only comment to make it out of their mouth was "No Comment"
I think its cool for studios to release info about upcoming movie projects thats probably why half of us log onto this site. But like ComicBookMovie reader Logan-X sts "can the second one come out yet?" And to answer you logan-X, Hell yes it can but not untill later this summer. The studio is drumming up hype for the franchise but without seeing ROTF I dont know yet what to be hyped up about. Classic example here of the studio counting their chickens before they are hatched. You can bet your buts that there will be a cliffhanger in ROTF, but we dont know yet what it will be.
