The internets today are awash in speculation that Transformers 2 director Michael Bay is planning on making his much anticipated sentient robot sequel in sparkling 3D. The rumor caught fire when the folks at Comics2Film (who clearly have too much time on their hands) spotted a blurb in the Dolby News highlighting the film as one of the company's upcoming 3D projects. No official announcement has been made by Bay's camp, however, as the director is currently hard at work populating his ensemble cast with the requisite amount of eye candy.
If true, the move to 3D is part of an ongoing trend (and a welcome one at that) in the movie industry, as studios look for ways to get people into theaters and off of their illegal-movie-downloading laptops. Hopefully, Mr. Bay also plans on making the story and characters of Transformers 2 multi-dimensional as well.
Transformers 2 begins shooting in June.
