Bay Leaves Transfomers
Director has had enough of franchise.
by Chris Tilly, IGN UK
UK, June 18, 2009 - With Transformers mania currently gripping the globe, we have some shocking news for fans of the franchise - Michael Bay has had enough.

According to a report on WENN.com (reported on IMDB), Bay feels that with forthcoming sequel Revenge of the Fallen, he has take the series as far as he can.

"After the three-and-a-half years I've spent making these movies, I feel like I've had enough of the Transformers world," he explained. "I need to do something totally divergent, something without any explosions."

- M. Phillips/WireImage.comA Michael Bay film without explosions? Say it ain't so!
And in a sly dig at journalists, Bay added. "It's easy to go shoot an art movie in a winery in the South of France. But people have no idea how hard it is to create something like Transformers. They [the critics] review me before they've even seen the movie."

Well IGN waited till we'd seen the film before passing judgement, and gave Revenge of the Fallen a solid three star review.

I don't believe a bit of that.

Blu Titan · 06-18-2009, 03:32 PM

The movie will make a zillion dollars and Bay will be back.

The news on imdb is always wrong. At one time they had John Malkovich playing Lord Voldemort in the Harry Potter series.

Don't think so.

I rememebr something similar to this last week about Stephen Sommers quitting G.I. Joe. Right......

Michael Bay presents Good Boys

Two boys grow up to become teachers and raise families. The End.

Ha...yeah.

He's one of the biggest flip-floppers in hollywood, they offer him money, he'll be back...

And if he actually sticks to his guns and doesn't return...maybe they'll get a better director.

I think hes realised that films like Transformers are too intellectual for him.

Anti-SD · 06-18-2009, 03:41 PM

Oh well.

Riff Magnum · 06-18-2009, 03:46 PM

What a dork. He says it's easy to shoot an art movie at a winery in the south of France. What's that all about? Doesn't he realize a movie like that would actually require a great script and excellent acting to pull it off properly. Isn't a great script the hardest thing to do?

Batman1980 · 06-18-2009, 03:48 PM

I believe this about as much as I believe that 2 + 2 = 9.

This guy never liked Transformers in the first place. Thats why Starscream looks like a gorilla, Optimus has flames and lips, and Devastator looks like one of those little monsters from Gears of War. He made a ton of money, now he wants out. Nice. How professional.

ya how professional, he made a HUGE hit with transformers 1, and a potentially huge follow up. Geez how dare he.

LifeOfAPirate13 · 06-18-2009, 03:50 PM

Based on Transformers 1 yea a good script is really hard to come about cause that movie DID NOT have one. It did have Megan Fox though!

JamesKurtovich · 06-18-2009, 03:58 PM

It wouldn't be a Michael Bay film without the obligatory explosion.

milner828 · 06-18-2009, 04:01 PM

He just needs a break. Which is no surprise....and his comments on critics is dead on. Even people on this website are bashing the movie based off a 90 second trailer.

lol. I had to re-read that a second time. I don't think I have ever seen the words "Michael bay" and "something without explosions" in the same sentence.
