Michael Bay in talks to return for Transformers reboot after exiting 'Fast and Loose'
Michael Bay is reportedly in talks with Paramount about returning to direct a new Transformers film, marking his potential comeback to the franchise he first launched in 2007. The development follows Bay's departure from the Netflix and Will Smith project Fast and Loose. According to Deadline, Bay and Smith parted ways over creative differences. Bay had pushed for a more action-driven approach, while Smith preferred to lean into comedy. Fast and Loose, which would have reunited the pair for the first time since Bad Boys, remains in production with Netflix aiming for an October shoot. Smith is still attached to star as a man with no memory who learns he has been living two separate lives, one as a cartel kingpin and another as a CIA agent, while the search for a new director continues. With Fast and Loose no longer on his schedule, Bay is said to be 'discussing with Paramount a return to the Transformers fold with a new version of that tentpole.' Reports indicate that the studio currently has five Transformers projects in various stages of development. These include a potential crossover with G.I. Joe and another live-action entry from Transformers One director Josh Cooley. Bay directed the first five Transformers films between 2007 and 2017, with the series earning over $4 billion worldwide. Beyond Transformers, Bay is also developing OutRun at Universal. Based on the classic video game, the project will star Sydney Sweeney and be produced by Bay alongside Brad Fuller. Jayson Rothwell is writing the script.

Transformers One gets disappointing update from director Josh Cooley
Transformers One director Josh Cooley has said a sequel isn't happening. The 46-year-old filmmaker had helmed the 2024 flick for Paramount Animation, though Cooley has now said the studio is "not interested" in making a follow-up to Transformers One. Speaking on a panel at the Transformers convention BotCon, the director said: 'I wish I had something to announce, but I do not. What I've been told is that Paramount Animation is not interested in making a sequel. 'That's what I was told. I wish we could. I have ideas, too. So it would have been cool. We'll see what happens. You never know.' Transformers One - which stars Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Brian Tyree Henry and Jon Hamm - explores the origins of Optimus Prime and Megatron as allies on Cybertron before a rift turned them into enemies. As war brews, their choices shape the fate of their world - and the future of all Transformers. When Transformers One released in September, producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura teased the film could be the start of a trilogy. When Collider asked di Bonaventura and Cooley if a trilogy was possible, the producer said: 'I don't think anything's changed for us. 'The truth of the matter is you never get to the second movie unless everybody shows up at the box office. We both said to ourselves, 'This is way too hard to make one good movie to start thinking a lot about the second movie.'' While the picture was received well by critics, Transformers One had a disappointing performance at the box office. On a production budget of roughly $75 million, Transformers One pulled in $129.4 million, making it one of the lowest-grossing movies in the franchise. Di Bonaventura – who has been attached to the Transformers series since 1986's The Transformers: The Movie – teased Transformers One had several plot threads about Optimus Prime (Hemsworth) and Megatron (Henry) that could easily be picked up in a future film. He said: 'Along the way, there were ideas that we were like, 'Well, that can't fit in here. Let's hold onto that. Let's not forget that idea.' Although I'm sure we've forgotten some of them.' Cooley agreed and added they were definitely playing with the idea of making sequels to Transformers One, but emphasised that he and di Bonaventura were going to wait to 'see what happens' with the movie. He said: 'I can't help but ... Yes, we were thinking of this one story for this moment, for this movie, but it's about towards the last year of a film where I can't help but go like, 'Well, how would this [to] naturally progress?' 'So we've got some ideas, we talked about a few things, and we'll see what happens.'

One Of The Best Action Movies Of 2024 With A 97% Audience Score Is Streaming Now On Prime Video
Some of 2024's biggest action movies. One of the best movies of 2024 is finally available to stream for free on Amazon Prime Video. It's an animated film, but still ranks as one of the best and best-reviewed action movies that came out last year, netting better Rotten Tomatoes audience scores than big blockbusters like Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (pictured left) and Gladiator II (pictured right). Transformers One tells the origin story of sworn enemies, Optimus Prime and Megatron, the key leaders in the age-old battle between the Transformers and the nefarious Autobots. On Rotten Tomatoes, Transformers One has an 89% critic score and a 97% 'Popcornmeter' or audience score. Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (which I absolutely loved) has a 90% critic score and an 88% audience score. Gladiator II (which I loathed) has a much lower 71% critic score and an 82% audience score. Other big action movies in 2024 included: As you can see, Transformers One ranks higher than any of these with audiences, and near the top with critics. This is with good reason. It's one of the best Transformers movies ever made. Only Bumblebee scored higher with critics (91%) but even that one (which I found very charming) scored just 75% with audiences. The next-best rated Transformers movie is the 1986 animated feature, with a 62% critic score / 88% audience score, followed by 2007's first live-action entry at 57%/85%. None of these even come close to the combined critical and audience praise of Transformers One. If you missed this in theaters and haven't gotten it already on 4K or VOD, give it a shot this week now that it's free with a Prime membership.
