Weekly Update

-Director Michael Bay announced yesterday on his website that Transformers 3 is now in production. Bay stated that they now have a story and that the film will be released in the summer of 2011. http://Rottentomatoes.com/, a popular movie site stated that this piece of news is their "Rotten Idea of the Week.) Hmm, I wonder why, OH YEAH...BECAUSE TRANSFORMERS 2 WASN'T THAT GREAT! Now don't get me wrong it wasn't a horrible movie but I don't think a 3rd film is necessary frankly because I think they've done all they can do with giant talking robots.

-There has been a great deal of Marvel Comic films announced in the past month that already are, or soon will be going into production. Plans are already made to make a second Wolverine film and a X-Men First Class movie, which will be based on the mutants when they were younger. Producer Laura Donner also said that an X4 could possibly be coming in the next few years which I don't think anyone expected. Other films that we will see in the upcoming years are Ghost Rider 2 and maybe even a film based on the popular Spider-Man villain Venom. Right now Venom has a writer and is in production so it will be interesting to see what Marvel does with this character. I think it's safe to say that Marvel is nowhere near done with their comic book films.
