Casting updates on Transformers 3

Michael Bay sure knows how to put together some of the strangest casts on some of his features, case in point being the recent news on his upcoming production of Transformers 3. On Michael Bay’s website (from JoBlo), the director announced that John Malkovich, Frances McDormand and Ken Jeong have all climbed onboard the action/adventure feature.

Along with that, Bay announced a couple of other things in regards to development of the feature.:

We are going to shoot in LA, Chicago, Washington DC, Florida, Texas, Africa, Moscow, and China. We start shooting pre-shoots in about one month. …I announced that night the newest Autobot to join Transformers: the Ferrari 458 Italia.

No other information has been released in regards to who or what all three of those actors will be, and even more so how big of a part they have in the film. You can see Malkovich on the big screen this summer in Jonah Hex, and you can see Jeong in the hit show Community on NBC. Transformers 3 is expected to come out on July 1rst of 2011.
