Michael Bay to direct the Transformers Movie?

LOS ANGELES, California (Hollywood Reporter) -- Michael Bay is in talks to direct the DreamWorks/Paramount live-action adaptation of "The Transformers," Hasbro's popular 1980s toy line of giant robots that morph into cars, trucks, planes, ships and other technological creations.

The move would reteam the director with DreamWorks, which is handling domestic distribution on the movie. Bay is helming DreamWorks' upcoming summer release "The Island," a co-production with Warner Bros. Pictures. (Warner Bros. is a division of Time Warner, as is CNN.)

Bay also would reunite with writers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, who, under their two-year, first-look deal with DreamWorks, rewrote "Island" and wrote "Transformers."

The Transformers are divided into two groups of robots, one led by Optimus Prime, which believes in tolerance and the sanctity of life, the other by Megatron, which espouses survival of the fittest and the extermination of biological life.

A November 17, 2006, release date has been set. Bay's credits include the two "Bad Boys" movies, "Pearl Harbor," "Armageddon" and "The Rock."

Hopefully, Ben Affleck will appear in this....only to be stepped on by Megatron. 😉
 
This will suck.

Don't do Optimus Prime any more injustice. Bastards broke my little heart as a 5 year old when Optimus died.

If they can pull of a live-action Lord of the Rings, surely they can pull off a live-action Transformers.
 
that would be absolutely AMAZING. I hope they start the movie with optimus traveling down the highway, and then out of nowhere he jumps up and transforms. Only problem is getting rid of the trailer.

Given his previous movie track-record, the trailer will detach, flip into several very expensive sports cars destroying them, then explode into a huge fireball. All in slow motion. This will happen every time he transforms.

I liked The Rock, but pretty much everything else he's done has been horrible.

Indeed man. BUT at least he came back. ONE they found him on a 'space ship' just travelling about and the other they found him on a space ship of robot tombs sort of thing.

The biggest injustice is calling the 'Energon' thing 'Transformers'. I detest the bloody thing! SOOOO poorly done and the story is next to nothing.

Old skool transformers for evar! 😛. I have pratically seen every single episode ever released on tv or otherwise. I had a website which gave a listing and short description of the episodes.
