Michael Bay gives Transformers 3 update, helps Haiti

Over at his official blog, mayhem maestro Michael Bay gives a brief update on the progress of TRANSFORMERS 3: EXPLODO GONZO ROBOGASM.

“Busy scouting – Chicago, Detroit, and Washington D.C. for Transformers last week. Things are going well. The script is feeling very different from the other two.“

I’m praying to the Allspark or the Matrix of Leadership or whatever that “very different” translates to “doesn’t cause my brain to petrify”. Bay previously described the third movie’s script as “a nice crescendo ending” (perhaps unaware that a crescendo usually builds in volume, which seems wholly inconceivable after TRANSFORMERS 2).

And between determining the location of the next cinematic devastation, Bay took a break to reach deep into his heart/pockets and assist with the reality kind:

“I ended my scout down in Miami this weekend to load my plane with 14 Florida Surgeons, specialists in various fields and flew them down to Haiti. We then returned with a planeload of a team of exhausted Miami Fire rescue. It is proving very difficult for these volunteers to get back home. They say the news hardly gives the true scope of what really happened.“
