Kevin Dunn and Julie White will return to play Sam Witwicky’s (Shia LaBeouf) parents in Michael Bay’s Transformers 3. So for those wondering if these minor comic relief characters would once again dazzle us with their presence, you can now put your mind at ease. Variety reports that the actors have closed their deals as the film moves through pre-production. Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel, and Tyrese Gibson will also return and they’ll be joined by new cast members John Malkovich, Frances McDormand, and Ken Jeong. Shooting is set to begin in May.
Transformers 3 is slated to hit theaters on July 1, 2011.

Before all the haters get rolling, let me say this: Transformers is NOT about a well-thought out, moving and intricate story line. The original cartoon series was a poorly written television (and sometimes sloppily drawn/animated) vessel by which to sell toy cars and robots in the first wave of wholesale marketing to children after President Reagan deregulated television marketing in the '80s. Anybody see/remember Thundercats? How about Robotech? Gobots? He-Man? Well for all of you out of the know, Michael Bay was a kid when the top was blown off of the children's television market and now, he makes more money that ANYONE else (including me) making poorly scripted nostalgia movies about his childhood; a childhood filled with memories of giant robots who turn into cars that blow s*^t up. Stop whining and enjoy the pyrotechnics because every Transformers movie made mirrors its television genesis.

Well for all of you out of the know, Michael Bay was a kid when the top was blown off of the children's television market and now, he makes more money that ANYONE else (including me) making poorly scripted nostalgia movies about his childhood; a childhood filled with memories of cool cars that transform into giant robots who blow s*^t up. Stop whining and smell the pyrotechnics because every Transformers movie Bay's made mirrors its television genesis and I, for one, share the same childhood nostalgic loyalty. And I am not the only one. Razzie or not, Transformers 2 was the second highest grossing movie of 2009 – enough of the box office share to warrant a sequel. Can't say the same for Sandra Bullock's Oscar vessel, The Blind Side, can we?
