"Michael Bay to Direct Transformers Movie"

Dreamworks has announced that Michael Bay best known for pearl Harbor and Armegeddon will helm the Untitled Transfromers project. The director is hated by many for those two films alone. Neither which that I have seen.

However, since the cartoon was extremely fast paced and action packed full of explosions. I am sure that's what the film is going to be like, and thats Bay's trademark. Bay hit the big time while teaming up with Jerry Bruckheimer early in his career with crowd pleasers like The Rock, and Bad Boys. He returned two years ago to direct the Bad Boys sequel.

Bay's next film, The Ilsand is his first film not made with Bruckheimer. It is rumored to be a bit different than his typical fare. Perhaps that rumor is fueled soley by the casting of Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johanson.

Some people are pissed about Bay directing the Transformers film. However, from the studios point of view its a great choice. Everything he touches turns to gold. As long as they stay faithful to the characters and make their voices sound remotely simliar I will be happy. I am told Megatron will transform into a tank now, because they won't market a robot that turns into a gun anymore. Damn liberals.
