- As of now, there are no further details available about the project.
I am fairly certain that almost all of us grew up listening to Linkin Park, and those of us who were not aware of the band were introduced to them by Michael Bay’s Transformers movie. Now, there have been multiple variations of the franchise, but almost none of them struck the same nerve as Bay’s Transformers did. Now, there is some good news for fans, as it has been confirmed that Paramount is in talks with Michael Bay to reboot the Transformers franchise.
Recently, Deadline dropped an exclusive report mostly focusing on how Michael Bay has stepped down from directing Fast and Loose due to creative differences with Will Smith. But hidden in that same piece was a juicy bit of news: Michael Bay is confirmed to be in talks with Paramount Studios to reboot the Transformers franchise. That said, aside from this confirmation, the report didn’t offer much in terms of how far things have progressed between Bay and the studio.
The era of Michael Bay’s Transformers movies has been a major part of our childhoods. So, the fact that he might return to shake things up again is massive. However, looking at the last live-action project from the franchise, Rise of the Beasts, which confirmed a connection between Transformers and the G.I. Joe, we can expect the crossover movie to be directed by Michael Bay. What do you think? Let us know in the comments.
