Tyrese Gibson puts a shoutout to Marvel to play Luke Cage!

Anyone who's seen the Michael Bay Transformers flicks and its latest offering "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" will probably know who R&B singer and actor Tyrese Gibson is. He plays Master Sergeant Robert Epps, one of the human allies and NEST member who fights alongside the Autobots in all three films. Via MTV News, Gibson puts a shoutout to Marvel to play another role that he feels would fit him - New Avenger and hero Luke Cage!

Well now, it looks like Isaiah "Old Spice" Mustafa, who produced a video trailer of himself playing Luke Cage, has a competitor vying for the role of the former Power Man! We'll just have to wait and see how Marvel responds to these shoutouts!

Movie Review: Transformers: Dark of the Moon

When the first Transformers film was released in 2007, I was flabbergasted and ranting ravely like a kid again, amazed at the prospect that one of the cartoons/ toy franchises I grew up with finally made the leap into the big screen. It wasn't a perfect adaptation of course, but the initial concept remained the same, and apparently Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg delivered on their promise to make the "Robots in Disguise" a kick ass movie and spawn it into a lucrative franchise. However, when 2009's Revenge of the Fallen came along, it was met with mixed to almost downright negative reactions from critics and audiences alike, which is understandable considering the presence of eyesore characters and a plot that was clustered around like crazy. Simply put, the movie universe wasn't exactly cut from the same cloth as Generation 1, but it fared well enough in the box office to make millions of dollars in ticket sales, coming to the point that another sequel would be made, and it would be Bay's last foray in the franchise.

When it was first announced, Transformers: Dark of the Moon certainly sounded like a strange way to name a movie (why not "Dark Side of the Moon"?), but after watching the final product, it all makes sense why it was given the title. Without going much into spoilers this early, I can say that the third "Bayformers" was aptly named, and lives up to the director's promise that it will be a lot "darker" than his previous two outings with the Autobots and Decepticons. After the jump, take note that it will be SPOILERVILLE from here on out, so if you plan to watch the movie with a clean conscience, come back and read this review after you've seen it.

Transformers: Dark Of The Moon - Linkin Park "Iridescent" Music Video

A week left until it premieres in international territories, the marketing drive for Michael Bay's third and final Tranformers flick, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, has reached hyped up proportions and reminding us that the end of the trilogy is at hand. From the release of Hasbro's toy merchandise to the gossip and news from media outlets that Megan Fox was fired by Bay because of Steven Spielberg, there's little reason not to be informed or aware that the robots in disguise are returning to the big screen in a few days, and it'll be available in both conventional theaters and 3D.

As per custom for the TF movies, the official soundtrack has been released well before the movie comes to theaters. Headlining the album again is American rock band sensation Linkin Park, who return with a ballad song called "Iridescent", a song "which speaks about hope amidst chaos and sadness" according to the official Wiki. Unlike "What I've Done" and "New Divide", this song feels more appropriate to the "serious theme" the third TF movie is conveying to audiences (chaos and hope), and I find it more catchy as I listen to it more and more. You can check out the music video below, which has its share of scenes and stills from the upcoming movie, as well as Linkin Park dressed in fashionable attire, mirroring what they're trying to project with their new song.

Transformers 3 Update: Here's a new poster!

After unveiling that new trailer yesterday for the world to see, Paramount Pictures has released a new poster that pretty much sums up what Transformers: Dark of the Moon will be all about. You have a pretty bad-ass and ready for action Optimus Prime in the middle of a devastated Chicago, alongside Shia LaBeouf and Rose Huntington-Whitley as they survey the invading Decepticon spaceships attacking the planet. It's an impressive poster despite the human characters in it, and since I'm a Prime fan, I'm loving the bad-ass look here.

While I was hoping to see more Megatron/ Hugo Weaving moments in the trailer, I can't say I'm not looking forward to seeing this film, which will be Michael Bay's last entry directing the TF Movie line. Hopefully it'll wrap up things neatly... and not present a cluster "twin riddled" confusion like Revenge of the Fallen did in 2009. For more info on the poster, check out the source link via Slash Film!

Transformers: Dark of the Moon is slated for a July 1 release.

Transformers 3 Update: The new trailer has arrived!

The action goes crazy in this trailer alone, so check it out, courtesy of the folks of Apple! Thanks goes to Screen Rant and Slash Film for the news!

In an article that has Michael Bay providing insights on his third upcoming Transformers film, Screen Rant has also posted up a new official image of Autobot hero Sentinel Prime, who appears ready for a fight and looking all high and mighty with that battle stance.

First seen in website Lyrics Interactive, that's one badass looking Prime that legendary Star Trek actor Leonard Nimoy will be voicing come July. For more on Bay's candid insights and information on the movie, visit the source post over at Screen Rant!

Transformers 3 Update: Leonard Nimoy IS Sentinel Prime!

It may be April Fools and this may sound like a joke, but I just got wind of this very awesome piece of Transformers movie news, and I'm inclined to believe that this is the genuine article. Somehow and some way, director Michael Bay has cast another legendary presence to his next Transformers flick hitting this July... and by legend, I mean TRUE LEGEND!

As posted in Slash Film and announced first by Entertainment Weekly's website, it appears that legendary Star Trek actor and Mr. Spock himself, Leonard Nimoy, will be voicing the role of Sentinel Prime, predecessor and mentor figure to Optimus Prime! Besides his iconic status as the Vulcan who served aboard the U.S.S Enterprise (a role he reprised in 2009's Star Trek), Nimoy is a legend in various forms of media and has provided his voice for several shows back in the day, including Transformers!

Leonard Nimoy as Galvatron... BadAss then... and still BadAss now!

Those who follow his credentials well will know that he provided the voice of Galvatron in 1986's animated classic flick, Transformers The Movie, and now he returns, this time in the side of good as Sentinel Prime! Nimoy just celebrated his 80th bday a couple of days ago, and now this piece of news definitely gets my gears up and excited to watch this flick all the more, and together with Peter Cullen voicing Optimus Prime, Michael Bay may redeem himself yet with his last hurrah in the Transformers franchise!

Transformers: Dark of the Moon is set to launch another wave of Cybertronian battles this July 7!
