- TRANSFORMERS 4 & 5
Following a
report that says a third sequel to 2007's Transformers is in "active
discussions," comes word, via Variety that the plan may actually be to
shoot a fourth and a fifth film back to back. The same article also states that
Shia LaBeouf is unlikely to return and that the franchise may instead place Jason
Statham in a leading role, though no official negotiations have begun.
Michael Bay,
meanwhile, was said to be interested in returning to direct but, again, nothing
is official at this time. No matter what, Bay is likely to complete his next,
Pain & Gain, before production on another Transformers would begin,
potentially as early as late 2012.
Bay has however
released this statement on his ste about the matter:
“I am currently
not talking to Paramount on T4 and T5 despite reports. I'm looking at a lot of
possibilities coming my way right now weighing options. Most likely going to be
doing the low budget Pain and Gain, a true story crime thriller. It's a very
quick shoot and quite funny. Also just finishing the 3 disc set of the
Transformer trilogy.”
Transformers:
Dark of the Moon was an immense financial hit earlier this summer, reaching the
fourth spot on the all-time worldwide box office list with $1.119 billion
earned.
