Just yesterday Paramount announced that TRANSFORMERS 4: EXTRA LONG SUBTITLE would be in theaters by the summer of 2014, and today it has been revealed that Michael Bay is definitely back for to direct. I don't know, either the 1) the guy is actually having a year's worth of suits made out of money, or 2) it was part of a deal with the studio to be able to do a smaller movie that he personally really wants to do. Of course he couldn't go the George Lucas route and use his own money if he cares so much. Not at all.

So first up Bay will shoot PAIN AND GAIN, his based-on-a-true-story tale about body builders who kidnap, extort and murder on the side. Production begins in Miami this April with Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson, and all three will be deferring their normal compensation so as to keep the movie's budget at "the sure-thing $25 million budget level."

And then it's big-ass-robots time! Bay will be meeting soon with producer Steven Spilberg to flesh out the new movie's story, one that is hoped ”will bring audiences a new take on the TRANSFORMERS franchise." Yep, TRANSFORMERS 4: MONEYBOTS VERSUS MONEYCONS will effectively be a reboot of the franchise and you can see it in theaters June 29th, 2014. Now if you're wondering why Paramount couldn't just wit a day to announce all of this news at once, it turns out that producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura shot off his mouth a day early at a toy fair and revealed on tape that TRANSFORMERS 4 would be happening with Bay's involvement. The studio is reportedly furious, and Bay "went crazy on him as well." So yeah. Fun times in Hollywoodland. Movie's still happening though, don't worry.

I can confirm that Paramount and Michael Bay are only going to make one movie at a time: Transformers 4. And not the back-to-back Transformers 4 and 5 which Hasbro top executive Brian Goldner said was a real possibility in a Wall Street earnings call last financial quarter. Bay is starting production on Pain And Gain in April with Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson for Paramount. That’s part of his 2-picture deal with the studio announced tonight saying Bay is officially committed next to the Transformers franchise fourquel for June 29, 2014. I’m told Bay is meeting with executive producer Steven Spielberg now to flush out ideas while the studio is in the process of hiring a writer. MichaelBay.com promises that the next installment ”will bring audiences a new take on the Transformers franchise” based on the Hasbro toyline.

So why did Paramount make this stealth Michael Bay-Transformers 4 and 2-picture deal announcement at 7:15 PM Los Angeles time? I’ve learned it’s because Lorenzo di Bonaventura has a big mouth. One of the producers along with Don Murphy, Tom DeSanto and Ian Bryce, Di Bonaventura today spilled the beans without warning anybody. In fact the studio was still polishing its press statement for tomorrow.

The result is that Paramount is furious at di Bonaventura, and Michael Bay “went crazy” on him as well, an insider tells me. “Lorenzo was at a toy fair and someone sticks a camera in his face. So Lorenzo goes on this 60-second tirade speaking on behalf of everyone — the studio, Michael Bay — and it’s inappropriate.” The result is that MTV got a nice video exclusive of Di Bonaventura saying Bay will direct the next Transformers and calling it a “reboot” which is kind of odd but also intriguing.

Anyway the producer is in the dog house at Paramount (just like he put himself in the dog house at Warner Bros for shooting off his mouth that time, too). I can’t wait to see how Paramount punishes him. Maybe by borrowing a page from former Paramount chief Michael Eisner who one day got mad at Larry Gordon and threw him off the lot by emptying the producer’s offices onto the sidewalks. ”The locks haven’t been changed on Lorenzo’s offices — yet…” a studio bigwig tells me.

Re: Transformers 4: The Search for More Money

Ugh, when will it end?

If your gonna call it a reboot, you don't bring back the same worthless, retard director and the same producers and most of the same cast. Whipe the poop away and start fresh.

Re: Transformers 4: The Search for More Money

A reboot with the same director, huh?

Re: Transformers 4: The Search for More Money

A director who said that he already didn't really want to do the third movie because he was burned out, and is only doing this because the studio blackmailed him...

Re: Transformers 4: The Search for More Money

They should take out all of the human characters, take out all of the horny, leg-humping robots, take out the stupid stories, and just drop a bunch of Autobots and Decepticons in varies Earth cities, and let them battle.

Re: Transformers 4: The Search for More Money

I really did enjoy the Trilogy.

Was there room for improvement? Sure, but Bay definitely made things fun and that's what I liked about it. I'm all for another installment.

Re: Transformers 4: The Search for More Money

Bay's days with Transformers are done imo.I like the first two,the third was ok except for the worthless stupid stuff Bay throws in because he's not creative enough to come up with anything better.

Im all in for more Transformers,but not with Bay.

Re: Transformers 4: The Search for More Money

Well, I wish he would do other things...i'm more excited for Pain and Gain. Cheap, gritty, low budget film.

But still. My ass is in the seat for Mr. Bay.

And I hope the people who hate him SUFFER FOR IT. IN HORRIBLE AGONY FOR EVER AND EVER.

Bay is suited for Transformers. As long as Peter Cullen is in it, I'll be in line to watch this.

^^^ This

I'd love a new movie but I really don't want Bay involved & I would like it to actually be about Robots & not a human interest piece that just happened to feature big robots & worked of the Transformers name.

Fingers crossed it's better than the last 2 were

Re: Transformers 4: The Search for More Money

A reboot with the same creative team? That's a bigger FU to everyone than Bay simply returning

So essentially what will be rebooted will be the human aspect because I doubt they'll change the Bots too much.

Damn I bet bay buys you all kinds of expensive coats with that transformer money.

This was exactly my feeling. The "reboot" with be new humans and new human story with the same bots.

Re: Transformers 4: The Search for More Money

I think Bay gets it. But he also has a built in audience. He had to finish Sam's story, but he spent quite a bit of time with the soldiers. I bet that's how the next one is going to be. I actually like Lennox and Epps.

Hell, throw in a big action star in the mix, and there ya go.

I think I can hear some heads explode already.

I hope they don't. I hate G1. I never liked that show. Always thought it was dumb. So it never bothered me when the movies were dumb.

I loved the G1 show but it was part of my childhood.
