McDreamy Joins Transformers 3
Tue, May 4, 2010 
The Wrap has confirmed that Patrick Dempsey has joined the cast of Transformers 3.
Dempsey told reporters in Brazil that he'll be shooting his role in the sequel later this month. Entertainment Weekly is reporting that he will be playing the boss of Megan Fox's character in a role that is "significant to the plot."
A plot? Transformers 3 will have a plot? This gives me faint hope that they might be trying to make this movie at least somewhat better than the 2-1/2 hours of noise that was Transformers 2. (then again, it couldn't get much worse)
But will the Grey's Anatomy heartthrob be playing a villian too? Dempsey says his character will be a "darker character than the other humans in the franchise." Hmmm...Dr. Shephard as a bad guy? That could get interesting. Although with John Malkovich already cast in the bad-guy role, I'm not sure how many other villians they need of the non-robot variety.
Another rumor swirling around the new Transformers film has been confirmed as untrue, for now: Jamie Kennedy will not be appearing in the film. In a recent radio interview, Kennedy said he auditioned for a role in the film, but his publicist has confirmed that has not yet been cast.
Transformers 3 will again be directed by Michael Bay, and begins filming this month in the US and Africa. It is scheduled for release in Summer 2011.
The returning human cast includes Shia Lebeouf, Megan Fox, Kevin Dunn, Julie White, Tyrese, Josh Duhamel, and just about anyone who was not blown up in the first film.

I love Dempsey, this is going to be the best Transformers of all three
I'm a fan of Dempsey. I just hope that his signing on to this BZZZZ Crash BZZZZ Bam type of movie suggests that it has some decent material for the actors. you know, like a plot. But, just like any of us, I'm sure McDreamy is tempted by big money.
