UPDATE: Courtesy of JoBlo, Michael Bay chimed in over at his official forums saying, “Studio’s are passing rumors but I’m not sure what I’m doing? I know I’m going to do Pain and Gain early spring but that’s it for right now. I’m leaving all my options on the table. I’ve got several Studio meetings in the next two weeks.”
This has become way too confusing…just make up your minds already!!!
It is now confirmed that, despite saying that part three would be his last, Michael Bay will be returning to direct TRANSFORMERS 4.
According to Vulture, Bay has entered final negotiations to direct the film. Details are being kept under wraps, but it is said that the film “will delve deeper into Transformers canon to mine older characters and lore.”
Bay is hoping to begin shooting in the winter of 2012. In the meantime, he is still trying to assemble a cast for his smaller film, PAIN AND GAIN.
Excellent article. I will be facing many of these issues as well..|
