    Fourth 'Transformers' shapes up for Bay to direct

    LOS ANGELES (AP) — Director Michael Bay plans a fresh take on shape-shifting robots with the fourth installment in his "Transformers" franchise.

    Paramount Pictures announced Monday night that Bay will return to direct the next chapter in the blockbuster sci-fi series, due in theaters June 29, 2014.

    Bay's third movie based on the Hasbro toy line, "Transformers: Dark of the Moon," came out last summer and took in $1.1 billion worldwide.

    The studio's announcement said the next "Transformers" will be a new take — which probably is necessary since star Shia LaBeouf said last summer that he would not return for a fourth movie. Bay's production team will be back, though, including Steven Spielberg as executive producer.

    The "Transformers" sequel is part of a two-picture deal for Bay at Paramount. First, he'll direct Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson in the crime tale "Pain and Gain," based on a true story about Florida bodybuilders involved in extortion, kidnapping and murder.

    Filming on "Pain and Gain" is expected to start this spring.

      I still don't understand why these highly sophisticated machines spend most of the movie low-teching it by trying to physically punch each others' lights out.

      And the last one disappointed me. They destroyed Chicago but somehow missed my work building. That's the only reason I watched it. :(

        Too funny; I'm from Chicago - was home for Christmas, but live in Florida - miss the city everyday....

      Maybe for the fouth movie they could exclude all human actors and only focus the robots.
      • JamaalC 3 mths ago
        great idea
      • JamaalC 3 mths ago
        will cost more and take longer though....
    • AK4766  •  3 mths ago
      Will we see the Dinobots? The Aerialbots? The Stunticons? I absolutely HATED what they did with Devastator in movie #2, that could be improved GREATLY. hint hint, Michael Bay.

      Jjust had a scary thought........Unicron??

        I want a Generation 1 movie set in 1980's Southwest, like the original series!
        And they need to rethink the way the 'bots look. And less Human-Angst...More Bot-Appeal!!!
        (Anyone else agree?!)
      • dadude 3 mths ago
        I want Unicron! I believe!

      I heard Megatron doesn't want to come back either. I heard he wants more money. Also, he doesn't get along well with Optimus Prime on set. He said Prime is a Diva.

        I heard it was the other way around, hmmmm

        lol @ all of you!! VERY FUNNY!!

      I doubt losing Shia will impact the box office earnings? I mean seriously, you can put a no-name actor in that role and still make a billion in the box office. People don't go see Transformers for Shia.

      Thanks for the warning!
    • RoboTopia  •  3 mths ago
      Needs Less Human-Angst, but More Bot-Appeal, Oh--And Airel-bots done right ( Not like what crap that they turned into 'Devastator'!?! )
      PS...DINOBOTS!!!
    • Rhane  •  3 mths ago
      all together now: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
    • paull  •  Los Angeles, California  •  3 mths ago
      Don't know why but I would like to see Transformers directed by David Fincher.
    • Ak47  •  3 mths ago
      A new writer, producer and director are much needed for this. I thought the last one was the last we'd see of Bay.
    • spud  •  Newark, New Jersey  •  3 mths ago
      I think they should do a prequel on Cybertron showing the start of the Civil War.
    • Denitio del Toro  •  St Louis, Missouri  •  3 mths ago
      I could go with out . . unless the bring in Grimlock and the Dinobots . .
    • Jamie  •  Wakefield, Canada  •  3 mths ago
      I thought the last one was supposed to be the "last one"
    • Bernie -  •  3 mths ago
      gawd. we need a fresh new take on transformers. michael bay makes shaky-messy movies disguise as quality action films. he may be able to fool those movie going idiots for now, but not for long.
    • Keith  •  Cheney, Washington  •  3 mths ago
      Shia LeDouche was the worst part about all three movies. He can't act and should have been squished by any one of the Decepticons...or Autobots.
    • Mark  •  Leeds, Alabama  •  3 mths ago
      What bums me is the language, these are the silver screen versions of cartoon I loved to watch as a kid. They did just as many good deeds back then WITHOUT so many ugly words actors AUTOBOTS or DECIPTICONS none of them used foul language.
    • Booberry  •  Atlanta, Georgia  •  3 mths ago
      I got a suggestion for the Fourth Movie: Transformers VS Gundam The Fight For Earth: Or just bring in the Dinobots/Predaking and Unicron/Omega Supreme
    • A Yahoo! User  •  Eugene, Oregon  •  3 mths ago
      Bring back Megan Fox please.
    • X  •  3 mths ago
      Thank god. Even Megatron can act better than Shia LaBeouf.
