The Internet is buzzing over a video suggesting that Michael Bay had recycled clips from his 2005 film The Island in his latest movie, Transformers: Dark of the Moon.

A YouTube user has posted a video comparing car chase scenes from the two movies, in which certain shots are strikingly similar. [Watch video below.]

Dark of the Moon, the third installment in Bay’s Transformers franchise, opened Wednesday and has become the third best worldwide debut of all time, smashing records and grossing a whopping $372 million through Sunday.

Dark of the Moon stars Shia LaBeouf, Josh Duhamel, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Tyrese Gibson and Patrick Dempsey.

Transformers actress Rosie Huntington Whitely has revealed that her co-star Shia LaBeouf had left her worried before shooting for the action movie began.

Whitely admitted that LeBeouf made her nervous when he told her that the period of filming and promoting the movie was going to be the most intense time of her life.

"He really broke it down for me and said 'Look, you've never worked this hard and it is going to be the most intense six months of your life, and the most intense six months after promoting it."

"So he worried me a bit. I didn't quite know what I was getting myself in for. But he helped me every step of the way," she added.

Model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was spotted with boyfriend Jason Statham at the Los Angeles Airport. The 24-year-old model walked through the airport tightly holding Statham’s hand while wearing huge shades and no smile. She’s probably trying to get away from all the negative energy sent her way by the critics after her “horrible performance” in 3-D action film Transformers: Dark of the Moon.

Huntington-Whiteley took over Megan Fox‘s role as the love interest of Shia LaBeouf after Fox was notoriously fired. Transformers cost $195million dollars to make but received horrible reviews. The Movie and Huntington-Whiteley’s acting failed to impress the critics. Critics complained that she and Shia LaBeouf lacked on-screen chemistry.

In a critique titled “Come Back Megan Fox All Is Forgiven” by one of the critics of a newspaper rips Rosie's acting to shreds stating “Huntington-Whiteley shows up in a figure-hugging, tightly-whitey dress but she’s all window dressing and doesn’t exactly excel at delivering her banal lines. Poor Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. She may be beautiful but she can’t act for toffee.”

Shia LaBeouf went from big screen leading man to full-fledged global superstar playing Sam Witwicky - the unlikely hero of Michael Bay's blockbuster "Transformer" trilogy.

However, the 25-year-old star says that although he "loves making" the sci-fi movies, his days of fighting Decepticons are over for good.

"I just don't think there's anything [left] to contribute - there's nowhere to take Sam," stated Shia at the "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" premiere in Moscow on Thursday, when asked if he would be on board for a possible fourth installment. "I think creatively we've taken it as far as we can, and to do another one is purely a profit motive.

"I've given it my all and I'm proud of these three movies - I'm most proud of this third movie," he continued. "I feel like it's really hard to top this!"


In addition to his leading role in the robot action movies, Shia also starred in 2010's "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" alongside Michael Douglas, who was battling throat cancer at the time of the film's release - and Shia revealed that he has maintained contact with his former co-star.

"He feels strong," says Shia when asked how Michael's health is faring. "He's running again. He's back on the treadmill."

Catch Shia, along with Josh Duhamel and "Transformers" newcomers Patrick Dempsey and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, in "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" - in theaters on June 29.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has admitted that she is scared about the impending release of Transformers: Dark of the Moon because of how it will change her life.

The 24-year-old model has landed the female lead opposite Shia LaBeouf in the forthcoming blockbuster sequel and she is worried about the impact the film will have on her life.

"Am I scared? Er yeah. I just want to come across like a decent person. I had to think about whether I wanted to take the role because I knew it would be life-changing," Contactmusic quoted her as telling Elle magazine.

"It was a big decision. I'm quite private and I'd never sought to be famous so I didn't want my life to get out of control. Then I started to understand that's something you allow to happen," she added.
