Transformers 3 producer-director/guy we wish would adapt Dr. Faustus for the screen, Michael Bay, recently issued a statement via his official website updating his progress on the third installation of the robot action series. “We are going to shoot in LA, Chicago, Washington DC, Florida, Texas, Africa, Moscow, and China,” Bay wrote. He also confirmed that Oscar winner Frances McDormand will be joining the cast, as the National Intelligence Director, while John Malkovich will play Sam Witwicky’s (Shia LaBoeuf) boss. Ken Jeong, of Knocked Up/The Hangover/Community fame, will bring levity and laughter to the action flick. The movie is set for a summer 2011 release.

"Ken Jeong, of Knocked Up/The Hangover/Community fame, will bring levity and laughter to the action flick" And no doubt the racist stereotype as well.
Really? You gotta make it about race? Get off your politically correct horse. Ken is hilarious and has done many roles where he doesn't play a stereotype. All this news about the new Transformers flick is actually making me interested in it, which (after the second) I didn't think could be possible.
I respect Shia for being humble, honest and forthcoming about his own views on the movie. Let's hope they don't repeat their mistakes from the second.
This is what I've waiting for, more about blitzwing in TF3
