Mike Sampson — Wed, 29 May 2013 13:10:22 +0000

'Transformers 4' has promised a complete reboot for the franchise including all new robots. One classic who will return despite the new direction is the Autobots leader Optimus Prime.

Pirates may not be perfectly in season these days, but Starz's 'Black Sails' will almost certainly beat NBC's 'Crossbones' to the punch. The pay-cable network has officially set a January 2014 premiere for its Michael Bay-produced series, adapting the early days of Robert Louis Stevenson's 'Treasure Island,' but will 'Black Sails' prove to be a bountiful haul, or an empty vessel? Get the latest on Michael Bay's new Starz series inside!

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

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.'

'Pain and Gain' Exclusive Red-Band Clip: Meet The Rock's Beautiful Russian Girlfriend

ScreenCrush Staff — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 16:33:53 +0000

'Pain and Gain' - the new Michael Bay film starring Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson - is insane. And we mean that in the best possible way. Don't believe us? We have a brand new exclusive 'Pain and Gain' clip that can prove it! It's NSFW and it's very funny.

'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.

Michael Bay Describes 'Transformers 4′ in Three Words

Jacob Hall — Sat, 13 Apr 2013 15:20:22 +0000

Director Michael Bay is currently making the press rounds for the upcoming 'Pain and Gain' and, naturally, he's getting asked about the about-to-shoot 'Transformers 4.'

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 01:40:35 +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.

'Ninja Turtles' Reboot to Begin Production in April?

Jacob Hall — Sun, 13 Jan 2013 17:17:40 +0000

When it was announced that 'Transformers' director Michael Bay was going to produce a reboot of the 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' franchise, there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth across the great expanse of the internet. Then there was the title change, removing "teenage" and "mutant" from the equation (at least on the surface). Then there was the script leak and the reveal that the Turtles were now aliens. Then there was the announcement of Jonathan Liebesman as director. To say that fans were unhappy would be an understatement -- things got so ugly that Bay had to personally address them on his blog.

But the film is still moving forward. In fact, it looks like it may start shooting in April.

'Transformers 4′ Searching for Hot Girls to Keep Mark Wahlberg Company

Britt Hayes — Thu, 15 Nov 2012 03:30:01 +0000

'Transformers 4' is happening and while we don't know much about the film, we do know this much: it will be directed by Michael Bay, hence it will star a hot young girl. In previous installments it was Megan Fox or Isabel Lucas or Rosie Huntington-Whiteley but with an all new cast lined up for 'Transformers 4' (headed by Mark Wahlberg), Bay is out searched for fresh blood. So what girls does he have in his sights?

Mark Wahlberg Now Confirmed For 'Transformers 4′

Damon Houx — Fri, 09 Nov 2012 01:55:45 +0000

So much of the scuttlebutt around movies is usually half-truths. Three weeks ago we reported that Mark Wahlberg might be up for 'Transformers 4.' The next day it was denied. But now it looks like Wahlberg has been confirmed for the movie by the director himself.

Mark Wahlberg Not Joining 'Transformers 4′ After All

Mike Sampson — Wed, 24 Oct 2012 13:25:03 +0000

Yesterday, the disturbing rumor hit the web: Mark Wahlberg was in talks with director Michael Bay to star in 'Transformers 4.' But today we have an update from Bay himself who clarifies the news and explains where the confusion came from.

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

Damon Houx — Tue, 23 Oct 2012 23:06:57 +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.

Titus Welliver Forced to Leave TNT's 'The Last Ship,' Replaced By Equally Awesome Adam Baldwin

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Mon, 22 Oct 2012 22:00:33 +0000

One pilot we've certainly kept our eye on for the coming season is that of TNT's Michael Bay-produced 'The Last Ship,' and not solely for the number of explosions likely inherent. Among such big-name casting choices as 'Grey's Anatomy' cast-off Eric Dane and the lovely Rhona Mitra, we were intrigued to learn that 'LOST' and 'Supernatural' star Titus Welliver was to take a part. An emergency has forced Welliver out of the series, but 'Chuck's Adam Baldwin sounds like a fine replacement to us!

'Grey's Anatomy' Vet Eric Dane to McSteam Up TNT's 'The Last Ship'

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Thu, 11 Oct 2012 19:12:48 +0000

Shed no more tears, 'Grey's Anatomy,' for there's a lot more water for Eric Dane to steam up out on the open ocean. Those still mourning Dane's heartbreaking departure from the long-running 'Grey's Anatomy' need only look as far as TNT to get their next McSteamy fix, as the dearly departed doc will captain 'The Last Ship,' a new apocalyptic Naval pilot from TNT. But who will Dane play, and what's it all about, anyway?

Michael Bay Threatening the World With Fourth 'Transformers' Film

Mike Sampson — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 20:05:08 +0000

After rumors began floating out of the New York Toy Fair, Michael Bay took to his official site to confirm the reports that he would return to direct a fourth installment in the ‘Transformers’ franchise.

Will Michael Bay Direct More 'Transformers' Movies?

Jeff Giles — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 13:51:16 +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.’
