Although no one knows what’s in store for the Decepticons and Autobots, director of Transformers 3, Michael Bay, said Frances McDormand, John Malkovich and Ken Jeong are all new members of the cast.

According to Deadline New York, McDormand plays the National Intellignece Director in this upcoming installment of Transformers. Malkovich plays the boss of Sam Witwicky (played by Shia LaBeouf).

MTV News reported that Josh Duhamel continues his role as Major Lennox in the movie.

Despite this new information, much of the information about the film is still under wraps. However, Bay also disclosed some of the filming locations in his blog.

He wrote, “We are going to shoot in LA, Chicago, Washington DC, Florida, Texas, Africa, Moscow, and China.”

Questioning this extreme range of locations, MTV News wrote, “As for what causes such a globetrotting adventure, there’s no word on what the Transformers sequel has in store for the fans.”

As for the rest of the movie, nothing is revealed yet. However, Duhamel told MTV News that the screen writers put a lot of energy into the script.

He also said, “What I think is really cool is they went back into the history of Transformers. They didn’t really make anything up. They’re using stuff that actually existed in the story from before.”  [Source]
