Recently, Michael Bay has announced in his blog that the release date of the third installment of Transformers will be released in July 1, 2011, not in 2012 as he told the media quite some time ago. And of course our favorite guy Shia LaBeouf will reprise his role as Sam Witwicky! =)
Well its official: We have a great Transformers 3 story. The release date is now July 1st 2011. Not 2012.
Today is Day One. This morning started with an ILM meeting for five hours in San Francisco. Currently I’m flying with writer Ehren Kruger to Rhode Island to talk to Hasbro about new characters.

Another great news is that there is a rumor that Shia will be attached in a new project called The Wettest Country in the World, alongside Scarlett Johansson, Ryan Gosling, Paul Dano, and Michael Shannon.
In what’s shaping up to be a project filled with some of the hottest young actors in Hollywood, Shia LaBeouf, Scarlett Johansson, Ryan Gosling, Paul Dano and Michael Shannon are all attached to star in THE WETTEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD, a period drama about Depression-era bootleggers. The project, to be directed by John Hillcoat (THE ROAD), is being shopped around Hollywood to potential financiers. While the production was once set up at Columbia, the film is now trying to go the indie route with producers Doug Wick and Lucy Fisher (GLADIATOR) shepherding the flick.
The story follows three brothers at the center of the moonshine trade with a parallel story about a writer reporting on the trade. That would seem to take care of all four of the male actors above leaving Johansson to play the hot girlfriend or some other thankless role.
Though WETTEST seems to have some serious momentum, none of the actors have signed on and participation at this point is contingent on a number of different factors including money, schedules, scripts, etc.
