Geekery: Michael Bay Loves The Transformers
A lot. Looks like we’re going to be getting Transformers movies for a very very long time.
The next installment, The Last Knight, comes out this June. The script was penned in part by Iron Man’s Mark Holloway and Art Marcum. It features Mark Wahlberg and a puking dinobot! And that same wonky dad joke humor that the franchise excels at. Sadly, no Unicron this time around.
Five movies in the franchise isn’t enough, though. In an interview with MTV at the Las Vegas CinemaCon this week he revealed that…
“There are fourteen stories written. And there’s good stuff. I would like to do one of them, though.”
I’m going to assume that the Bumblebee spin off – that recently landed Travis Knight as its director – is one of those. Several years ago Bay and Paramount built a writers’ room to create a bunch of possible plots for the franchise – a group that included Holloway and Marcum along with Zak Penn (Pacific Rim 2), Robert Kirkman (The Walking Dead), and Jeff Pinkner (Amazing Spiderman 2). It seems they were successful… I’m not sure if it’s a success for the rest of us, though.
