Ready For Transformers 4 AND 5?

Oh, and Micronauts...Given the amount of money the Transformers franchise comprises to now, there's no chance toy company Hasbro and film partners Vital would stop serving up juicy meat created from that cash cow. Now, within a normally dull-as-ditchwater earnings business call, the Hasbro brass has confirmed that which you all understood already: that everyone involved thinks about the problem about options for future Transformer activities. Nevertheless the actual news is the next factor might be to go to all Matrix/Pirates and shoot two new activities consecutive.In compliance to Variety, the companies will be in "active" discussions (we like to to think about meaning they get together and talk while finishing a hurdle course, but that could be a lot of fun) with Steven Spielberg and director Michael Bay about new films.Bay, clearly, has mentioned formerly that he'd would rather step in the series to give consideration with other projects. But he's usually been tempted to return having a) dump trucks of money supported to his house (he is not produced from stone!) and B) the chance to enjoy new filmmaking toys (even ones he wasn't clear on before, like 3d). Even though he seems to become devoted this time around around to coming back to non-robot Bayhem, for instance bodybuilding pic Discomfort And Gain, there's an opportunity he'll return.1 individual that likely won't return however, is Shia LaBeouf, who appears emphatic that he's moved onto alternative activities. That's a smaller problem for your studio, since everybody knows the punters appear for Optimus Prime and co anyway. Who could replace him? Whispers keep swirling about Jason Statham (who'd certainly be described as a large change), but that's all they are for the moment.What Vital includes can be a story idea cooked up by Dark In The Moon author Ehren Kruger, the professionals are apparently happy with. It remains to look when the two-TF film plan computes so when Bay does indeed sit inside the director's chair, particularly if he must make two movies simultaneously.In related Hasbro property news, the business bakes an offer with Zombieland authors Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese to use on turning Micronauts in to a movie.Micronauts, just just in case you have not learned about them, originated from just like a effective but ultimately short-were living toy line known to as Microman in Japan. Numerous robots and automobiles with interchangeable parts, they're more according to inner space than giant machines fighting.Deadline reviews that Qq Abrams' Bad Robot customers are joining track of Vital to develop the film, but you will discover few other particulars yet. It is not Wernick and Reese's first Vital project: furthermore they written the script for GI Joe 2: Retaliation...And talking about Zombieland (it's a three-link story! Somewhere an angel will get drunk inside a bar!), it seems the new the new sony is actually heading down another path with any possible follow-because the studio's TV division as well as the Fox network are really developing a comedy series good movie, which Wernick and Reese would write. Strangely enough, the duo initially planned the concept just like a Tv program, so they have got a few ideas worked out. Producer Gavin Polone notifies the Hollywood Reporter once the series can get the greenlight, it'll replace any plan to produce a follow-up film. It's surely no coincidence that current hot zombie show The Walking Dead has returned to record ratings...
