“We tried to learn from the second movie. On the second movie we got burned,” Bay told Collider.com. “We had a writers strike, we had to agree on a story in three weeks, and then we knew they were going on strike.”
He added that the making of the second movie was not optimal as it “wasn’t fair to the writer, it wasn’t fair to me, it wasn’t fair to anybody.”
With the third Transformers movie, Bay said that the writing is better because “we got back to basics,” according to Collider.
“I think there’s some really cool action on this movie, there’s some very cool conspiracy, there’s great robot stuff in this that people were missing in the second one, you’ve got great robot conflict,” he said.
In the trailer, the Apollo 11 moon landing is depicted and shows astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin coming upon a spaceship wreckage site. Inside, they discover a seemingly dead robot.
“It’s more serious. I got rid of the dorky comedy, I mean we’ve got two little characters, that’s it, but the dorkiness is not there,” Bay told the website. “Dork-free Transformers. It’s much more serious. It’s still entertaining, it’s big looking.”
The film is slated for release on July 1, 2011, and stars Shia LeBouf and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.
