Micheal Bay is doing Transformers 5

[Autbot_Benz]

Between his producing duties and directorial work, Bay usually has a half-dozen projects going at once. Right now, in addition to 13 Hours, he's doing post-production on the next Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which he's producing and which is due in 2016, and pre-production for the next Transformers, which he's directing for summer 2017. "I'm doing Transformers ... 5, is it?" Bay says, temporarily losing track. He shakes his head. "I've taken on a lot of work."

I'm shocked by this news. :teek:

SHOCKED.

Bay is a billionaire. Why does he continue? Lucas has the right idea - make your own movies, for yourself, in your own way. Leave the business of film making to those that are still hungry and passionate.

I never thought I'd say it, but there is a point where you don't need anymore money.

Oh joy. :roll:

No surprise at all, Those movie print a ton of money, so of course the studio would offer him a huge paycheck to direct the 5th one.

Says you, mate. Bay obviously disagrees... damn his greedy soul.

I think the theory posited (in jest) by this article is spot on.

"I like to imagine that during his time at Wesleyan University, Michael Bay fell in love. She was a beautiful girl. She was smart, funny, and she knew her way around a bedroom. Michael was smitten. He was fully committed, and had gone as far as purchasing the engagement ring that would undoubtedly seal their commitment to each other for life thereafter.

As he opened her dorm room with jewelry box in hand, he came upon something unthinkable. There was the love of his life, raunchily intertwined with Travis, the nerdiest guy at school. Our unnamed beauty then informed Michael Bay that she and Travis were in love, and that they were running off together, Revenge of the Nerds style. Michael never heard from her after that day, but he did make himself a promise.

On that day, Michael Bay vowed to himself and to the powers above, that he would do all that he could to ruin anything and everything that nerds hold dear."

Nice. Looking forward to it. Hopefully it doesn't drag like Age of Extinction.

I just wonder if Optimus Prime will be in TF5, cause at the end of Age of Extinction, He flew to space to find the creators.

Which will setup the Transformers cinematic universe, One of the movies will be fully animated, most likely the one taking place in Cybertron.

This makes me worry we'll have 5 Michael Bay TMNT movies someday. I hope not.

[Cure]

Yeah, I remember. I bet it takes place when he gets back. Or maybe he'll be the B plot.

Given how Bay insists on having human characters as the protagonists, and even though I've only ever seen the first movie in its full entirety, I'm gonna make a prediction and in two years, you guys can come back and see if I was right or not.

Optimus Prime's meeting with the creator race occurs between 4 and 5, Prime returns to Earth, bringing an antagonist world-destroying creator race after him. Basically, Galactus except done by Transformers.

Either that or Prime finds the creator race already destroyed by (is it) Omnicron? And accidentally leads said menace back to Earth.

Either way, betcha that's what happens.

Do you even know what money is? Transformers movies clear a billion at the box office every movie. The TMNT.... don't.

I have no idea, and I don't care. Not a TF fan.

You know who has the exact same mentality? M. Bay.

I just think, given his track record, that's probably how it will play out. Unicrom is the big planet-sized evil robot, right?

[Wildcat]

Someone already posted he was doing 3 more not too long ago.

I enjoy the movies. I do wish there wasn't so much zoomed-in shots. I'd rather see the robots and machines in full scale during the battles.

On a side note be nice to finally get the Ferrari license for the toys. It's weird that they're able to get it for the movies but not the toy line.

They haven't been that fussed about that kind of thing so far. I wouldn't be surprised if he's back for no reason.

"Optimus prime? I thought you were in outer space?!"

"My search for our creators was written at a time when the resolution of that plot thread wasn't necessarily Michael Bay's problem... Now I'm back, and we must travel to Mexico City to battle a flamboyant business man before he activates the mcguffitron! Assemble the Viking-bots!"
