'Transformers 3' update, going 3D?

It's time for another quick update on Michael Bay's upcoming "Transformers 3," and according to the director's official Web site, two big cities will serve as battleground for the robots in the third installment of the popular action franchise. Release date is planned for July 1, 2011.

Here's the update: "Spoke with Michael today and got some little info on TF3: there will be big action sequences shot in Chicago and Moscow this time around." In related news, MTV reports Bay is doing some tests with 3D, although it's not clear whether "T3" will actually end up being shown in 3D.

Bay said, "It's a process we're testing with some 'Transformers' scenes," he said. "How successful it is with my movie in terms of a lot of real stuff coming out of the frame, real dirt, real complicated little particles coming towards the lens, because hopefully that process will work."
