'Transformers 3' gets the green light
The Autobots and Decepticons will be returning for a second Transformers sequel.

A third Transformers movie has been given the green light and a release date of July 1, 2011.

Although the first sequel, Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen, isn’t slated to hit the big screen until June 24, Paramount and DreamWorks have already confirmed that the third film in the series is in the planning stages, Movie Jungle.com is reporting.

The involvement of stars Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox is yet to be determined, as well as that of director Michael Bay.

No writers are attached to the project, but DreamWorks and Paramount reportedly wanted to lock in the release date to get ahead of competing studios during the coveted summer blockbuster months.

The first Transformers movie made $319.2 million in the US and $389 million in international ticket sales.
