Just putting an LED message board in the place of the tail lights, clever!

Watched it, thouroughly enjoyed it! The Rolling Bones "Wicked Sisters" on a road trip from New York state to Bonneville, and we get to watch and enjoy instead of roadside repair the headgasket that blew.... now I'm all for a bonding experience that you get to relive forever as a great story of how you had to wrench on the roadside with only a flashlight to illuminate the process, but it's pretty cool to just watch from the couch as a couple of hot rodders cruise cross country to hot rod racing mecca, Bonneville.

All the drama and time limit builds on reality TV frustrate, this documentary doesn't!

It's cool just to catch a look at a couple hot rodders driving dueces, and delivering their B'ville ready race '32 to tech inspection. I was surprised at what it takes to pass tech, so the movie is informative on that aspect, as well as who and what Rolling Bones is without having to read the magazine articles (you know I just look at the pictures right?!) Another film by AtomicHotRods is Devil at Your Feet, and I'll fill you in on that in a later post, so check back!

The soundtrack is music from Electric Frankenstein http://www.electricfrankenstein.com/ and in the extra's on the DVD you can just close your eyes, turn up the volume and enjoy a flathead rapping away

Take a look to those spy pictures from the movie set of Transformers 3 (and yes that's Bumblebee as a Datsun!):
(Click on a picture to enlarge it.)
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley who replaced Megan Fox as female lead in Transformers 3 looks quite good!
:)

*************
Update: well, you see Megan Fox on those pics, but it's been officially announced that she's leaving the Transformers franchise, so she actually won't be in Transformers 3... It comes all of a sudden, as you see below she did go to the set of Transformers 3 at the very beginning:
Megan Fox looks gorgeous, was hoping she would get a more active role in the movie Transformers 3... Who do you think could replace Megan Fox as Shia Labeouf's love interest in Transformers 3?

Bye bye Megan! We miss you, just a bit!

Director Michael Bay revealed that we will meet a new autobot in Transformers 3, and that it will be a Ferrari 458 Italia:

Will this Ferrari Transformer have an Italian accent? Or is it going to be a fast and furious hot head like Schumacher?

Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura has been talking about the movie Transformers 3. From what he says, looks like the studios do intend to release the film in 2011 even if the timing isn't ideal for Director Michael Bay. Di Bonaventura can't imagine Transformers without Bay so I guess the studios will have to put a lot of cash on the table to change Bays' mind.

When asked about the possibility of introducing Unicron in the movie Transformers 3, he answered to IGN:

"Unicron worries me because it's so big that it dwarves emotion. It's so hard, because when you're working to that scale, it sort of becomes outside any kind of human reality you have. It's obviously a great character, and one that we're definitely going to talk about, but for me personally - and I'm not the only vote here - that one scares me. Because of its size, it becomes sort of impersonal when it gets to that scale. [...] And for me that worries me because I like the human characters."

Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura

Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura has been also praising the Mini-Crons stating that they're really cool.

So the giant Unicron (who is of the size of planet) most likely won't show up in the movie Transformers 3. But we may have the Mini-Cons!
;-P

A Transformers 3 movie is now officially planned: Paramount Pictures and DreamWorks Pictures are aiming to release The movie Transformers 3 on July 1, 2011.

The studios didn't say much more, but we all know that Shia Labeouf and Michael Bay will be back.

Want to get really excited about Transformers 3? Just think about the technological advances in CGI and other special effects that this movie will benefit from!

Let's knock on wood for Transformers 3 to be released in due time!

Director Michael Bay must be someone very confident because he is already planning Transformers 3 even before the official release of the second opus.

Well, confident, he can be: hardcore fans and the broader public are eager at following a Transformers movie franchise.

Transformers 3 isn't exactly official as of now, but it really seems to be waiting in the wing. The news about Transformers 3 leaked online via Dark Horizons:

Transformers 3
On the upcoming release schedule for Germany, it appears that a second ‘Transformers’ sequel has already been scheduled for June 29th 2011.

Dark Horizons

Of course both Michael Bay and Shia Labeouf are keeping their lips tight. So we can but speculate about the plot of Transformers 3, the sequel to Transformers Revenge of the Fallen.

I am sure that Transformer 3 will be a blockbuster if it is released. But it will be hard for Michael Bay and his robots to monopolize the spotlights: so many good movies in 2011!

Any idea about a plot Transformers 3 should follow? Or about the villains in Transformers 3?
