'Transformers 4′ and 'Teenange Mutant Ninja Turtles' Updates From Michael Bay

Jacob Hall — Sun, 28 Apr 2013 17:18:17 +0000

Michael Bay's 'Pain and Gain' arrived in theaters this weekend, so naturally, everyone is asking him about 'Transformers 4' and 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.' Although both films don't arrive until 2014, Bay offered additional information about them that will possibly ease the jittery nerves of fanboys all over the world.

'Pain and Gain' Review

Matt Singer — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 21:15:52 +0000

I watch a lot of 'Project Runway.' My wife likes it -- and, yeah, I like it too. A show dedicated to fashion design that features creative and powerful women is a weird thing to think about while watching a Michael Bay movie but that's exactly what I did during 'Pain and Gain.' Bay could learn a thing or two from that show about editing. Not in the cinematic, cutting shots together sense; that he's got. This is a different kind of editing.

It's the kind that is often called out by the 'Runway' judges when they tell the contestants (I'm paraphrasing), "This is too busy. You need to edit. That blue fuzzy hat that looks like a tribble distracts from the gorgeous, ornately sequined dress. The dress is enough. You don't need the tribble hat. Edit."

A Michael Bay movie -- particularly 'Pain & Gain' -- is a sequined dress with a blue tribble hat.

Over the weekend I kept seeing commercials for the new movie “Pain & Gain”. If you’re like me, the movie look “okay” at best and now I know why. To truly tell the story of the movie, you have to see the Red Band Trailer. The true story is set in 1990′s, Mark Wahlberg concocts a plan to take [...]

'Transformers 4′ Casting Confirmed for Nicola Peltz as Female Lead

Jacob Hall — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 10:00:16 +0000

Director Michael Bay has promised that 'Transformers 4' (which we still can't believe isn't called 'Tr4snformers') will take the series in a new direction and the casting shows that he isn't kidding. Gone are Shia LeBeouf and Megan Fox, in are Mark Wahlberg and the previously rumored but now confirmed Nicola Peltz.

Megan Fox Joins 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles': Is She Our New April O'Neil?

Damon Houx — Fri, 22 Feb 2013 15:20:35 +0000

When Megan Fox left 'Transformers: Dark of the Moon,' it seemed that her relationship with director Michael Bay (who she jokingly refered to as Hitler) was over and the two would never work together again. But now Bay has announced that Fox is joining his 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' reboot.

Michael Bay Talks 'Transformers 4′: "We've Redesigned Everything"

Jacob Hall — Sun, 03 Feb 2013 02:35:31 +0000

Well, 'Transformers 4' is happening and Michael Bay is directing it and there's nothing the franchise's detractors can do stop it. All anyone can do now is wonder how long it'll take them to name it 'Tr4nsformers.' However, it looks like the next entry in the series will be a completely different experience...at least that's what Bay is saying.

'Transformers 4′: Could Mark Wahlberg be Joining the Cast?

Damon Houx — Wed, 24 Oct 2012 13:30:57 +0000

Michael Bay played footsies for a while with doing more 'Transformers' movies, but has signed up for a fourth film, because... well, money. Lots and lots of it. Bay earned $80 Million from the first film (which is the lowest grossing film of the franchise), and gets 8% of the merchandising money, so it's safe to assume that he makes over $100 Million a sequel. But it looks like he's bringing in a new lead.

Michael Bay Turning 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' Into 'Teenage Alien Ninja Turtles'?

BJ Ragone — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 10:36:23 +0000

As a child of the 80′s and 90′s, and the self-proclaimed ‘biggest Ninja Turtle fan ever’, I am taking an issue with Michael Bay changing up the origin of the heroes in a half-shell. Anyone who’s anyone knows that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are called that for a reason. They were turned into lean [...]

Will Michael Bay Direct More 'Transformers' Movies?

Jeff Giles — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 10:51:16 +0000

Michael Bay told anyone who would listen that three ‘Transformers’ movies were enough for him. Maybe we shouldn’t have believed him.

According to Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner, the company is “actively discussing” Bay’s return for the blockbuster franchise’s fourth outing, which could film back-to-back with ‘Transformers 5.’
