Paramount Pictures is toying with the idea of producing the next and hopefully final sequel in the Transformers franchise in 3D. This shouldn’t come as a shock because the idea has popped up before, and as of late Hollywood has been on 3D overload. According to a recent article in Variety, director Michael Bay and the studio have been meeting with a major special effects company to discuss the possibility.
Transformers Revenge of the Fallen made a boatload of money at the U.S. and international box office even though it was critically panned. It’s fair to say the majority of its profits derived from the fanbase that was created by the first film. We were all tricked into thinking that we’d see another great action movie with a simple story but we were wrong. Director Michael Bay wants to make up for the lackluster sequel, by taking the third film back to its roots.
You know, it makes perfect sense. Michael Bay = Women in their underwear near explosions and high tech material. All those robots just get in the way of what he’s REALLY pointing the camera at… boobs, ass, high heels and arched backs. So why not hire him to do a completely over the top Victoria Secret’s ad? At least with a commercial he’s forced to have a decent run-time.
Some of you may have seen this ad already, but there was some discrepancies over whether or not Bay really directed it, or if it was just a Bay-wannabe. It has been confirmed that, yes, this commercial was actually directed by the big man himself.

If Megan Fox was ever worried about losing her role in Transformers from those nasty Hitler comments she made about director Micheal Bay, she can stop now. In a recent interview with Ann Oldenburg, Bay revealed that there’s a role for Fox in the third installment of the franchise and he has no plans of getting rid of her.
After watching the visual cancer that was Transformers Revenge of the Fallen, it’s easy to wonder where it all went wrong. The first film was pretty decent, and had the central story of a boy and his car, the sequel centered on…what? That’s the question a lot of people left the theater wondering, what was it all about? Director Michael Bay must have taken the complaints to heart, because in the third film he wants less action and more story.
It’s time for the 13th Annual Hollywood Film Festival and an official press release was just sent out revealing the film roster for this year’s event. The programming includes features, documentaries, shorts and music videos from around the world, including films from Bulgaria, Canada, Germany, Israel, Mexico, the Netherlands, South Korea, Spain, Uganda, the United Kingdom and of course, the United States.
Take a look at this year’s films…
Michael Bay has been working with Paramount Studios for the past few years with his massive Transformers franchise, so its no surprise that the director has decided to take their relationship to the next level. According to Variety, Paramount has signed a first look deal with Bay’s production company, Platinum Dunes.
The first sign of the apocalypse has been revealed with Michael Bay’s announcement that Transformers 3 has begun pre-production. It took a long time for me to get the disturbing taste of Revenge of the Fallen out of my mouth, and now I have to brace myself for its follow up. Over at Bay’s official website, he gave an update of the sequel’s story and the film’s ever pending release date.
Even though I didn’t despise Bad Boys 2 as much as the rest of the world, I’m surprised by this latest development. According to THR, a third Bad Boys film is in the works. The last time we saw Will Smith and Martin Lawrence team up for the buddy cop film was back in 2003. Columbia Pictures plans to reignite the franchise, and have hired a writer to help them do it.
