As reported eariler, a release date for Transformers 2 was announced and now we know more information.

Steven Spielberg and Michael Bay have signed with DreamWorks to make a sequel to this summer?s hugely successful Transformers movie. Transformers 2 is due to hit theaters June 29, 2009. However, Bay is also considering taking part in Disney?s film adaptation of the Prince of Persia video game. Prince of Persia is set for a summer 2009 release as well, which means he would only be able to direct one of them.

As if that weren?t enough to lock up Bay?s schedule for the next two years, he?s also set to produce 2012: The War For The Souls, which is already in pre-production. 2012 is about a door that opens to a parallel Earth on December 21, 2012, the day the world is supposed to end, according to the Mayan calendar and the predictions of Nostradamus.

Shia LeBeouf has expressed strong interest in reprising his role as day-saving Sam Witwicky, but there?s been no official word yet on whether any human characters from the original film will make a return despite some claims that LaBeouf, Bay and Speilberg are all going to be back. Guess we?ll just have to keep our fingers crossed for Megan Fox.
