Three new stills of "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" and Leonard Nimoy is Sentinel Prime!

Three newest stills of "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" have been finally released! The first one features Josh Duhamel and his squad running with an explosion behind them (you know in action movies when the studs turn around and then the building behind them explodes but they are like don't care about it while walking in slow motion? xD), and then Shia LaBeouf wearing a very neat outfit running from an explosion as well inside an office (Sam Witwicky is no longer a nerdy clumsy high school boy nor college guy ~ he's a real man now!), then the last one shows Shia and his new gorgeous co-star Rosie Huntington-Whiteley hiding behind a school bus, after an explosion as well. The stills are so 'explosive', check them out!

Michael Bay Talks About 'Fixing' "Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen" Through the Third Installment

Michael Bay came forward in talks about how Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen was a mess, and that he’s going to make it up through Transformers: Dark Of The Moon—saying that this movie is going to be superior than the previous two, and will be the last Transformers movie he directed.

"It was kind of a mess, wasn’t it? Look, the movie had some good things in it and it was entertaining and it did very well, but it also failed in some key ways. I learned from it. And now with this third movie we’re going back to basics and I absolutely believe this is going to be a much better film than the second one," he said.

Michael also explained that the writers' strike affected the production process of "Revenge of the Fallen", that he only had three weeks to get the story and almost going through the movie without a script. "It’s tough to do that. It was too big of a movie. There were too many endings or too many things that felt like endings. There was so much animation [in the visual effects postproduction work], too, and we ran out of time."

Check out the teaser trailer of "Transformers: Dark Of The Moon" below.

Well, I believe in you Michael. I really hope you bring the third movie into something like you did to "Armageddon", "Bad Boys", and "Pearl Harbor". Catch Shia LaBeouf and his new co-star Rosie Huntington-Whiteley on "Transformers: Dark Of The Moon" in July 1, 2011, also available in 3D.

Closer Look at Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's Character 'Carly' in "Transformers: Dark Of The Moon"

Michael Bay did a lot of 'correction' after "Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen" failed to attract critics despite its glorious $ 800 million worldwide box office revenue. In the upcoming installment "Transformers: Dark Of The Moon", Michael assured that the script will be 'better and darker' without forgetting to make an even bigger and more advanced special effects.

One of the significant change is to cast a new love interest for Sam Witwicky (the leading character played by Shia LaBeouf). Megan Fox who used to play Mikaela Banes was reportedly dropped out of the production. Michael made a switch by choosing a rather inexperienced Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, who's well-known as supermodel instead of an actress. She previously worked with Michael Bay for an advertisement of Victoria's Secrets. Even so, Michael and Steven Spielberg (the producer of three "Transformers" installments) said that Rosie was 'mind-blowing' in her audition tape. Rosie ultimately 'defeated' her contenders for this role, with the popular names like Gemma Arterton, and other supermodels Bar Rafaeli, Miranda Kerr, and Brooklyn Decker.

Rosie will play Carly, a girl who works at the British embassy in United States. Michael said in an interview that "Carly and Sam live together," as they start another adventure with the Autobots to fight the rise of Decepticons.

I surfed around the internet and found an interesting 'origins story' of this Carly character. Based on the 1984 animated series, Carly was actually the one and only love interest of Sam Witwicky (which used to be called 'Spike' in the animated series). She was pictured as a beautiful blonde girl, who was only 16 when Sam first met her. They grew closer as Carly followed Sam in the Transformers adventure, even travelled to the Cybertron as well.

But then their romantic relationship came into the more serious way, until they finally got married and Carly attached 'Witwicky' to her last name. Carly gave birth to their first son Daniel Witwicky, who eventually continued Sam's adventure to protect the Earth from Decepticons along with the Autobots.

This is quite interesting since I didn't really get into the characters and origins of "Transformers". I believe Michael Bay will do his best to 'recover' this installment since the failure of the previous movie (even though the dollars did speak, but I gotta say the movie was a complete failure since it does fail).

Shia LaBeouf, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, John Turturro, Kevin Dunn, Julie White, and Ramon Rodriguez all reprise their roles. Besides Rosie, new characters will also be featured, Patrick Dempsey will play as Carly's boss, which has a 'significant role' to the plot, and John Malkovich will star as Sam's first boss. "Transformers: Dark Of The Moon" will be released in July 1, 2011 in 3D.
