You’d think that Michael Bay would want some time off after the critical mauling Transformers 2 received but it seems that the director is keen to get in on some more transforming robots action.

Below is a copy and paste of a statement he posted earlier today…

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

So, 2011, that’s not very far away is it?

Personally I wish he’d take a break from the franchise or better yet, step aside and let someone else have a go…
