It looks as though Michael "Boom-Boom" Bay is living up to his reputation of blowing stuff up. The Associated Press is reporting that an extra on the film of "Transformers 3" was seriously injured while performing a stung.

"Authorities say the 'Transformers 3' crew was filming late Wednesday in the Chicago suburb of Hammond, Ind., using several vehicles and drivers. Police say something went wrong and an object went through the windshield of a car, hitting the driver. In a statement, police said the vehicle kept going for a mile before stopping."

The extra's name was not released. He was airlifted to a local hospital for treatment. As many of us know, "Transformers 3" has been filming in the Chicago area all summer.



"Transformers 3" is Michael Bay's latest and last installment in the series and stars Shia "The Beef" LaBoeuf, Rosie Huntington-Whitley, Patrick Dempsey, and John Malkovich and is set to release next summer.

Compared to many people on CBM, I'm a relative newbie to the comic book world. I've just recently (within the last 10 years or so) started reading comics. However, I've been a fan of comic book characters nearly all my life, thanks to cartoons like the X-Men Series and Batman. Been downhill ever since.

I am an avid movie watcher and run my own movie website,(GeekBoyMovieNews) which covers a wide variety of movies, books and television news. There is nothing better to me than to sit back and a enjoy a good movie, or a crappy one for a good laugh.

While you may not see a lot of articles submitted by me, I've been an active user for close to three years here on CBM and I enjoy every minute on here. We have the best online community on the net her at CBM.com.

I've been lucky enough to climb the ranks here at CBM and the almighty Galactus has chosen me to act as one of his Heralds (Jr. Editor). So if you ever need suggestions or help on articles, I am more than happy to help out; you can find me in the CBM chat quite often. I also assist Big G in his "Beat Galactus Quizzes," so if you feel like you have a good question for the next quiz or suggestions on making them work better and more smoothly, feel free to drop me a line.

I look forward to talking and discussing comic books and their movies with all of you on the site!
