Michael Bay Finishes Filming Transformers 3, Moves on to Script

As Transformers 3: The Dark of the Moon’s release date fast approaches, some directors would be worried. Not Michael Bay.

The famed director of “Bad Boys II” and “The Rock” assured reporters late Monday that the film is nearly complete, and will easily make its release date of July 1.

“The filming just wrapped up, and it was just a few auxiliary scenes anyway,” the director said at a press junket promoting the film. “The CGI is wrapped up, the explosions are all done, and I’ve even been told the editing is pretty much finished. “Yep,” said the smug director. “All that’s left now is to write the thing.”

Bay, famed for writing the script to the first Transformers movie in 2 hours, said he will begin working on the script at the beginning of May.

“It only takes the actors 20 minutes, tops, to dub in their dialogue,” Bay said, sweeping his hair out of his eyes. “And, given that I was able to write the second movie in less time than the movie was long, I’d say I’m in good shape.”

The Dark of the Moon is expected to feature many slow motion explosions, characters screaming other characters’ names while something explodes behind them, and incredibly awkward romance scenes between new female lead Rosie Hunnington and the mannequin standing in for Shia LeBouf.
