Micheal Bay On Transformers 5: “Optimus Dies, Rodimus Rules”

I recently had a moment to sit down with hit Hollywood director Micheal Bay. Bay is a big commodity in Hollywood now as he is coming off of his big summer hit Transformers 4: Age of Extinction, and is about to release another big summer blockbuster Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT).

But it was neither movie that he wanted to talk about with us. When I brought up what might be in store for the next installment of Transformers he became an excited Chatty Cathy.

“I am so excited about that movie. I am always about my next big hit. Transformers 4 just hit and TMNT is about to hit. But what is foremost in my mind is what I am going to do to Transformers next. I have guys working on the script now and it is almost done. We will start filming in a few months and I am excited” Bay told us.

I asked Bay what surprises might be in store and he had this to say: “We are shaking it up. Big changes. We took some elements from the 80′s movie in this last one and it was a big hit. We made what? $300 million opening weekend? People love it. So we are going to borrow a little more for the the next movie.”
