Mr. Bay Announces TRANSFORMERS 3 For 2011 (Not 2012)!!

Merrick here...
Remember that little tussle a while back when The Powers That Be at Paramount said we'd get another TRANSFORMERS movie in 2011? Then Michael Bay indicated he wanted to take a year or so off & more or less said we wouldn't get another TRANSFORMERS movie until 2012? Well...whatever that was about...has apparently been resolved. Michael Bay has posted the following on his Shoot for the Edit site (HERE):

Transformers 3: July 1st, 2011 10/01/2009 09:41 AM 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. P.S. Megan Fox, welcome back. I promise no alien robots will harm you in any way during the production of this motion picture. Please consult your Physician when working under my direction because some side effects can occur, such as mild dizziness, intense nausea, suicidal tendencies, depression, minor chest hair growth, random internal hemorrhaging and inability to sleep. As some directors may be hazardous to your health, please consult your Doctor to determine if this is right for you. Pain and Gain is right after shooting of Trans 3. Michael

Is Kruger writing the third film all by himself? Beause it if took 3 people (Ehren being one of 'em) to come up with the "script" for REVENGE OF THE FALLEN...a film that made no sense at all & actually managed to make robots, explosions, guns, and jets completely boring...what the hell's gonna happen with only one guy pulling it together? 2011? Wonder if this was in any foretold in the Mayan prophesies...
