Transformers 3 nabs Malkovich and McDormand

The third installment of Michael Bay's succesful Transformers series is finally getting underway. As of yesterday the script for the film has been finished, and Bay is putting together a star cast for the final film. John Malkovich (Being John Malkovich, Burn After Reading) and Frances McDormand (Fargo, Almost Famous) have both been cast in undisclosed roles, as has Ken Jeong. For those who don't know Ken Jeong played the naked asian in The Hangover, so that leaves much to be expected from the film by the man who brought us the robot scrotum. The film will shoot in LA, Chicago, Washington DC, Florida, Texas, Africa, Moscow, and China. Pre-shoots begin in a month, so the only concern I have is if it will be ready in time for its release next July.
