Michael Bay Wants You For Transformers 3

For anyone dreaming of frolicking in the land of CGI and explosions, Craigslist has an opportunity for you. Collider caught an ad seeking extras for Michael Bay’s Transformers 3. The listing offers the basic film details as well as an agreement to pay participants $200 a day. Sorry Mr. Bay, but it’s going to take a lot more than $200 to get me affiliated with this franchise.

Unless you’re interested in the opportunity there’s nothing too interesting here except one minor omission, Josh Duhamel. Based on the past two films, you’d think Duhamel would get billing over Gibson. Is Duhamel out? Is he just not involved in this scene? Did the folks at DreamWorks think Gibson’s name would attract more applicants? Duhamel is nice to look at, but considering his impact in terms of the plot in the last two films, it doesn’t really matter.
