Given the performance of the franchise so far, it was inevitable that we were going to get more Transformers films. What was more up in the air was the possibility that Michael Bay would be the man to direct them. Well, now you need wonder no more (and start despairing if you hated the other movies): he’ll be back.
Chatting with MTV, loose-lipped producer Lorenzo Di Bonaventura let slip word that Paramount has locked in Bay to direct at least one more film, which will arrive in the summer of 2014. We say loose-lipped, because he apparently wasn’t supposed to reveal the details just yet, with Paramount planning a press release for today or later in the week. But the feline has well and truly left the bag, so here we are.
And there are more intriguing details as to what we might expect from a new movie. “I think we really are going to do a reboot there,” Di Bonaventura says. “But what that’s going to be, we don’t even know yet… We’ve got to get a story first.”
Apparently the main cast aren’t signed yet (and Shia LaBeouf has indicated that he’s done with the franchise anyway). So we’ll likely see some familiar robo faces in a new plotline. “It’s a hybrid because there’s still continuity going on, and there will be a lot of new cast,” he said. “Whether there’s anybody from the first cast, we don’t even know yet. But it’s going to be a whole new story.” And as of right now, it will simply be one film to kick off a new run, not the back-to-back experience as hinted at by Hasbro months ago.
Bay will first get to make Pain And Gain (which has Dwayne Johnson and Mark Wahlberg attached) starting this April and then he’ll gear up another outing for Optimus and the rest.
