M. Bayson Says TRANSFORMERS 3...

Merrick here...
Michael Bay spoke to the L.A Times about sound in movies - their conversation veered precariously towards the third TRANSFORMERS film. While no concept or plot were revealed (I know, I know, don't say it), this may be Michael's first public characterization of the project.

So can we expect more thunderous sound in the third installment? Although the number of robots increased significantly from the first film for the second, the third film -- which will hit theaters in summer 2011, won’t be as robot-heavy and there will be fewer explosions, a tight-lipped Bay said after the Q+A. “There will be a nice crescendo ending,” Bay said. “It gets much more into the robot character. The last time you kind of met a few of the robots; this time you’re gonna get a much cooler landscape.”

...says Mr. Bay in THIS L.A. Times piece. I hope fewer robots and explosions means more time for horny chihuahuas!
