Robert Paul Taylor In Transformers 3

Some of you may have heard of him, Some of you may not. But the important thing is, actor Robert Paul Taylor will be in Transformers 3.

On April 27th the actor updated his twitter account with...
"TRANSFORMERS 3!! I just got the call!!!! Top Secret Desert Location! Oh I'm loving this..."

And today he updated it with...
"Canceling Cancun vacation to work Transformers 3."

Who will he be? And where is this Top Secret Desert Location?

Chicago : Center-Point For Transformers 3 Principal Photography

Chicago will act as the navel point for the Principal Photography of Transformers 3, says reelchicago.com. Basically, the Giant Fighting Robots will duke it out at the Windy City for the 3rd time.

Also, the article revealed that the filming will begin on 4th of July and will successfully continue for seven weeks.

Chicago Film Office director Rich Moskal calls the upcoming big-budget shoot “a blockbuster in every sense of the word; in terms of economic impact, stunts and special effects.” In a sit-down with the producers last winter, Mayor Daley was agreeable to their city location requests “as he saw the multiple value in this big movie shooting here,” says Moskal. They will shoot along Michigan Avenue and throughout the Loop.

Tony Todd To Play A Human In Transformers 3

Mr. Tony Todd (voice of The Fallen in Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen) recently attended the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo 2010. 2005 Board member Keroshino took the opportunity to ask about Mr. Todd's role in Transformers 3.

Tony Todd once said that he will be returning to the Transformers Movie Franchise. But didn't reveal how or for what character.

Thanks to Keroshino, we now know that Mr. Todd hinted that he will be playing a Human Character for the 3rd Movie.

Actor Tony Todd has been in over 100 films and television shows, lending his versatile talents to the horror, sci-fi and fantasy genres. He's best known as the Candyman and has appeared in the Final Destination series, the Crow, the Rock, Wishmaster, Platoon, and Night of the Living Dead. He's also the voice of The Fallen in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. He's made guest appearances as Worf's brother Kurn in Star Trek, Boston Public, Hercules, Xena, the X-Files, Smallville, Angel, 24, Stargate SG-1, Chuck and Andromeda!

But, who will he be for Transformers 3? A military personnel? an evil scientist? or maybe just for a cameo appearance?

Shia LaBeouf Finds Returning To Transformers 3 Hard

Femalefirst.co.uk recently had a chat with the "Transformers" star Shia LaBeouf a.k.a Sam Witwicky.

Shia had this to say...
“My mind battles with me all the time. My mind hates the fact that I’m going back to Transformers 3, but the kid in me loves it. The actor in me, who is looking to challenge himself, isn’t going to get it on in Transformers and I know that.

But that doesn’t mean that I’m any less dedicated to that movie being perfect. I wasn’t happy with the second movie and unless the third one is better than both, then we failed.”

Will the future Transformers live action movies be "Sam-less"?

John Malkovich On Transformers Movie Franchise and Transformers 3

While ComingSoon.net chatted with Lorenzo di Bonaventura, IGN had decided to chat with actor John Malkovich.

Malkovich, admitted that he likes a good giant-robot movie as much as the next guy, despite his seemingly higher-brow tendencies.

He had this to say...
"I was never a fanatical movie person," Malkovich told. "There are many popular films I love like anyone else. Having said that, I'm not someone… I don't have time to go to the movies very much. I work [on] a lot of different things; I'm always busy. But I'm always happy to see a popular movie. … I'd seen the first [Transformers], which I liked and thought it was funny."

The article confirms the earlier rumor of Transformers 3 Principal Photography to begin in May.

Also, LatinoReview.com too had a talk with the actor...
How did you get involved with the new Transformers movie?
Malkovich: I spoke with him last week. Lorenzo and Mark and Summit are producing. They approached me about it. I’d see the first one, which I liked and thought it was funny. I like working with them very much. They’re very good producers, they’re very hands-on, always around, really get their hands dirty which is not so normal.

Things are set in motion. What do you think of "General Bay" and the cast? Think Transformers 3 can beat the predecessors? Why not share your views with others by commenting.

Lorenzo di Bonaventura On Transformers 3

ComingSoon.net recently chatted with "Transformers" producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura about what is going on with Transformers 3, scheduled for a July 1, 2011 release.

On the chat, Lorenzo di Bonaventura explained about his involvement on producing Transformers 3 and about John Malkovich.

Q: On a film like "Transformers 3," do you find yourself having to explain a lot about what you're doing to the director and studio or are you given free reign?
Lorenzo di Bonaventura: Not with Bay, you know? With Bay, no not too much there either. Bay is such a general that it moves at his pace. The first movie we had to explain a lot of why we wanted to spend this, what was going on… dah dah dah, but most movies in my experience and in most studios they're all running in a difficult time right now and they're concerned about their careers and concerned about the results. I grew up in the Warner Brothers system and our philosophy was once we made our bet, which meant it's up to the filmmakers to deliver it. So it wasn't a particularly intrusive system after once it made its bet. You had to pass a lot of hurdles to get to the go, but once you got there it was like, alright we're here. We've placed our bet and our philosophy at Warner's was you can't direct the movie if you're an executive and you can't write the movie and you can't act the movie, so you know, unless they're going sideways what can you do? It's up to them to elevate it.

Q: Are any of these actors you're working with now, are they going to be in any of your future films?
Di Bonaventura: Actually [John] Malkovich is in "Transformers 3."

Q: And what is his role in that?
Di Bonaventura: You know we don't talk a lot about that script, but he's going to have a lot of interaction with Shia in that movie. And he's got a really fun character. And he's going to bring a really interesting spin to that franchise so it's going to be great. 

Thanks to TFW2005.

Happy Birthday TFW2005!!!

Well, every year on April 20th, we celebrate the official birthday of TFW2005.COM.

So, today not only marks TFW2005.COM's birthday for this year, but also for our first DECADE in existence. That's right, TFW2005 turns 10 today. Crazy huh? It seems like a lifetime ago. Beast Wars was just ending, Car Robots (eventually Robots in Disguise here) was in full swing over in Japan, and Beast Machines were hitting shelves. That was TEN YEARS AGO! 

-Tony Bacala-

Congratulations TFW2005 !!! :-)
