What's Next?

[BAYsplosions!]

So now that Transformers Dark Of The Moon is finished filming and in post production stages and is set for release this summer (I personally cant wait), I was wondering what do you guys think Bay will do next? I know he's probably going to produce Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sometime in the near future but I was thinking more of what he will be directing next. Will he do Pain & Gain, the small film project he's wanted to do for years or will he do Bad Boys 3? Personally, I'd be happy with either one. Im a huge fan of the Bad Boys series and at the same time I'd love to see how Pain & Gain comes out. Tell me what you guys think.

[Bayhem]

Tell me what you guys think.


Well, personally I want to see "Pain & Gain". Love "Bad Boys" and "Transformers", but I think it's time for Michael to move on with something completely different. And let me tell ya, "Pain & Gain" is definitely different. :)


I'm hopeful, because back in 2009 he said, and I quote, "Pain and Gain is right after shooting of Trans 3" - http://www.shootfortheedit.com/forum/showthread.php?5976-Official-2011


Of course, things change all the time, so at this point anything is possible.

[Albershide]

And let me tell ya, "Pain & Gain" is definitely different. :)

Do we know any more info about P&G? Did Michael mentioned something about it before?

[Bayhem]

Do we know any more info about P&G?


It's an adaptation of a "Miami New Times" article - http://www.miaminewtimes.com/1999-12-23/news/pain-gain/#



Did Michael mentioned something about it before?


"It’s like a "Pulp Fiction"-type of movie."

[Albershide]

Thanks for the links. Really interesting.

[swishbig]

I would personally want him to do Pain & Gain first, after he's had a break then he can go full out on Bad Boys 3. Ninja Turtles - Not really interesting me.

[Regressor]

Do we know any more info about P&G? Did Michael mentioned something about it before?


He has said he plans to shoot it in 13 days with a small budget. And there'll be no explosions but they set one guy on fire.

[Bayhem]

He has said he plans to shoot it in 13 days...


Source?

[Regressor]

Source?


I'd be damn if I remember. He said it in an interview someplace. I believe i was around when he was promoting ROTF. I'm pretty sure I remember reading it, but I don't have the link or any source.

[BAYsplosions!]

Yeah it would make sense for him to do Pain & Gain first since it is a smaller project. This way he can take a break from the big action blockbusters he's known for. Then after doing Pain & Gain, he can come back and make Bad Boys 3 and hopefully it will be released by 2013.

[saberrider]

Mr Bay...can you consider about doing another live action movies such as "Patlabor", "Appleseed" and "Saber Rider"..Nelson, can you please recommend some of this title to Mr Bay and let him consider to produce or discuss with Steven Spielberg..Because i think it got potential to achieve what Transformers franchise did..

[HarryCanyon]

Those woulde be good even doing a live-action Vampire Hunter D movie or maybe Thundercats.

[swishbig]

I want Bay to create another original film. One that's not already based off of something with a fan base. It's harder but he has the potential.

[BAYsplosions!]

Yes he definetley has the potential. The Rock, Bad Boys (1 and 2), and The Island were all basically original pieces that werent based off anything and they turned out to be great films IMO. Even Armageddon you can say is an original piece even though it came out during a time when disaster films were seemingly being relased every 4-5 months. The great thing about Armageddon is that it felt like more than your basic disaster film and it turned out to be great as well. So yeah he definetley has the potential to another original piece and make it great. And thats why I think he should do Pain and Gain first then finish off the Bad Boys series with a bang by doing Bad Boys 3.

[kucharsk]

The Rock, Bad Boys (1 and 2), and The Island were all basically original pieces that werent based off anything and they turned out to be great films IMO.

I'd add, as I always do, Pearl Harbor.

Not only a great film, but there's no way anyone could know the new importance the film would take on about four months after its release. :(

[HarryCanyon]

Pain and Gain could be good.

[Bayhem]

"Up next, the director says he would like to do "Pain & Gain", a "Pulp Fiction"-like project, "a true story with these boneheads looking for the American dream. A lot of actors have gravitated to it over the years. It's something to shoot that would be fun and fast."

Bad Boys 3 doesn't sound like a good idea to me: what else could they do with the series? Besides, Smith looks like he's going to be very busy.

I wouldn't mind if Bay washed Transformers out of his system by making another film like Bad Boys 2, meaning a hard R over the top guilty pleasure. I think I read an interview with him where he said one of the reasons he wanted to make BB2 is so he could cut loose from the restrictions of his PG-13 Summer movies.

That, or I'd like to see another tight thriller like The Rock, his best movie. Hopefully one with a comparable cast, and one with a strong compelling villain along the lines of General Hummel.

And I hope he didn't get too burned by the box office of The Island (his second best movie IMO, and the only other one with an intriguing villain) to ever want to make another Sci-Fi movie, because he did such a great job on that one.

[Bayhem]

Bad Boys 3 doesn't sound like a good idea to me: what else could they do with the series?


Apparently, they have something in mind, because they've already hired Peter Craig to work on the script. On top of that, Will Smith is, at least according to Martin Lawrence, definitely in for another "Bad Boys" movie:


- http://www.shootfortheedit.com/forum/showthread.php?7214-quot-Bad-Boys-3-Talk-Is-Really-Real-quot

[BAYsplosions!]

yeah I've heard they have ideas for a script and story in mind for bad boys 3. I know Will and Martin would love to come back for another film its just finding time to do it. And same goes for Bay. So realistically I'm guessing they probably wouldnt start working on this film till maybe this time next year at the least or sometime next summer maybe. Cuz WIll is probably still busy with Men In Black 3 and Michael is probably still in some sort of post production for Transformers 3 then he's probably gonna be busy promoting it for part of the summer. And once all of that is done he will most likely start working on Pain and Gain. So I definitley think and hope Bad Boys 3 will happen but probably not for another year at the least.

And I dont think Bay was burned by the box office of The Island. I think he was happy knowing his core audience really liked the film. And the film may have been more successful at the box office if it was promoted more. Personally I loved the film and I really dont think the box office numbers bothered him. And I do think the film will do well once it is released on Blu Ray.

[dnn]

Well I certainly hope The Island (and The Rock) is the kind of movies he gets back to once he's finally through with Transformers. Good solid stand alone pictures. I think Bay is at his best when he's directing tightly written films with a straight plotline, and we're following a small group of characters from beginning to end. That's why I like what he's saying about TDOM having a focused point of view. In Bay movies that are less liked by me, the cast gets too large and scattered.

I think I read somewhere that he compared Pain & Gain to Fargo. He's a fan of The Coen Brothers, and he said he recognizes how their type of tone and filmmaking is very different than his. Like how in Fargo just one fatality carries a lot of weight. That may connect to how P&G was described above as having little violence.

Would love another Rock style movie tbh.... No sci fi... Just cool, slick action

Though, tbh, I've never understood why Bay hasn't done a full on war movie like Black Hawk Down style thing, I think that would be perfect for him...

[dnn]

Has there been any news about his reality TV series?

[Hanna]

Though, tbh, I've never understood why Bay hasn't done a full on war movie like Black Hawk Down style thing, I think that would be perfect for him...

Pearl Harbor

[jianozi]

I would love to see Bay direct the live action version of Star Blazers.

[Mr Majestic]

Bad Boys 3 please!

[Doomofman]

If Bay Boys 3 isn't next and not close to immediate (as in, within the next 6 months or so) I can't see it ever getting made

[BAYsplosions!]

I've been back and forth with it for a while but I think Bad Boys 3 should be next and it should be started soon...hopefully within the next 6 months and before the end of the year. Bay has wrapped up the Transformers franchise (which is a masterpiece IMO) now I think he should finish off the Bad Boys franchise. They should do it big and go out with a bang. I know there have been rumors that a story is already in place and if thats true then thats a great start. Hopefully he does Bad Boys 3 next then he can do Pain and Gain after since it is considered a smaller project.

[warhorse]

Pearl Harbor

I don't think you could call Pearl Harbor a flat out war movie. Platoon, Full Metal Jacket, Saving Private Ryan and like he mentioned, Black Hawk Down, is what he had in mind.

I'd like to see the next project be Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Maybe delve into something of the fantasy world. Something with unicorns and dragons!

I wonder what Sailor Moon would look like from the vision of Michael Bay. Young girls in short skirts saving the world, looks like something that would be right up his alley.

[sonic43]

Pain & Gain for sure, but I also want to see that TV adaptation of Cocaine Cowboys get off the ground already. Especially if there is the possibility of Michael directing the pilot which would be awesome.

[BAYsplosions!]

In a way I would also like to see Cocaine Cowboys get off the ground since thats been mentioned for a while now. And it would be great if Bay directs the pilot. I'm just imagining how good that would be. I think regardless of what's next..whether its Pain and Gain, Bad Boys 3, or even Cocaine Cowboys or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles it will be great. Bay has never disappointed me in anything he's done so I know that no matter what it is I'll have something to look forward to after Transformers Dark Of The Moon.

[IHeartBayhem]

I say Pain & Gain should be next. Bay's been in the world of epic robots fighting and exploding for a long time now, so it'll be nice to see him try a "smaller" movie.

After that, then Bad Boys III (as long as Smith doesn't try to get his kids in it, and make it family friendly).

[Bayhem]

"...no plans for Transformers 4..."

"Quick, small movie" sounds like "Pain & Gain", if you ask me...:)

[Albershide]

Definitely P&G! :) Thanks for the share.
The thing I really liked is that he said "no plans for TF4" which is not a direct rejection of the possibility. Maybe 1-2 years after P&G. ;) Although to be honest if the third part has a definite end I wonder if I would want another TF movie from Bay or something new.

[BAYsplosions!]

Yea after watching that video (thanks for that btw) I can definitley see that Pain and Gain will probably be next which I am more than happy about cuz I woulda been perfectly fine with whatever film he did next. Im really excited to see how Pain and Gain comes out.

[tizfx666]

I've not yet read the Pain and Gain story, but I hope that will be great!

[HarryCanyon]

Sailor Moon would sound sexy, i always enjoyed that show since i was a teen for the hot toon chicks and they would translate well in live-action.

How about a live-action Ninja Scroll movie?

[thatoneguy]

whats pain and gain??

[tizfx666]

whats pain and gain??

It's an adaptation of a Miami New Times article (http://www.miaminewtimes.com/1999-12-23/news/pain-gain/) from 1999.

[Bayhem]

Well, I think it's official - "Pain & Gain" is Michael's next movie.

Great news indeed - http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2011/06/29/transformers-dark-of-the-moon-michael-bay-taylor-lautner-bad-boys-3/

I'm not gonna lie, Pain & Gain sounds really interesting and it seems like it could have a really good story. I kno its obviously gonna be clearly different from Bad Boys but I like the fact that the story takes place in Miami as did Bad Boys and even tho the stories are different it could still have that same feel to it. I wonder if Bay will use some big name actors for this film or use some less known actors. Either way I very much look forward to seeing how this comes out.

[BAYsplosions!]

Im all for Pain & Gain being next because I love the sounds of it. In regards to Bad Boys 3, I hope it does eventually get made sometime in the near future because I dont want them to wait too long. I saw on IMDB it said 2015, I'm hoping its not that long away I was hoping more for 2013 but we"ll see what happens. Still happy and excited that he's doing Pain & Gain next.

[André Ferreira]

I personally would like to see the Bad Boys 3 :)

[Bayhem]

What is the next Michael Bay movie would like to see?


"Pain & Gain".

Thanks for sharing :) i have send like 3 or maybe 4 messages to Nelson for some suggestions about movie ideas :) maybe Michael likes one of them ideas i dont know we'll see. :)
But sounds good :) a movie without any hard stuff in it is a nice change for a while :) hope you have fun with this next project Michael! :)

[starscream1017]

well whatever is next, hope it comes out soon, dyin to watch another film from Michael. Pain & Gain does sound interesting. look forward to hearing more about the film.

[the_almighty_moo]

could allways do something based on an anime, such as golgo13, goku midknight eye and hell, even one of the Lupin the 3rd movies :p

[shadowinvid]

Rumor has it Will Smith is not available till November due to MIB reshoots ,so Bad Boys 3"please not using a title 3D" won't start till 2012 if it's taken on by Michael next.

[Flyingheart]

Ok thanks for the update Shadow.

[Albershide]

Rumor has it Will Smith is not available till November due to MIB reshoots ,so Bad Boys 3"please not using a title 3D" won't start till 2012 if it's taken on by Michael next.

2012 is just in 3 months time. It's normal that Michael won't start filming immediately after the exhausting 7 years of Transformers. Even if he makes P&G next he won't start as early as next year.

[BAYsplosions!]

I may be wrong but what I think will happen is that Bay will start Pain & Gain in early 2012 and
it will either be released summer 2012 or late 2012. then he will start Bad Boys 3 in the summer of 2012,
probably at some point in August and it will be released summer 2013.
Thats just my prediction and basically what I hope happens.

[LOVEME2]

i just hope that NOT A MOVIE WITH Taylor Lautner. i just saw Abduction (http://www.shootfortheedit.com/title/tt1600195/)
man this dude try soo hard to be some action star but it a Big Fail. the kid can't act! he is terrible.

I had no idea who you were talkin about and i think found him bwahaha XD
http://nl.toonpool.com/user/974/files/taylor_lautner_669315.jpg

I havent seen him act yet but looking at the trailers he wasnt very good in that lol maybe your right :P

[omegaweapon2]

If we like him for the way he is, why change? He could go with another project like I am number 4 while he makes another Transformer movie. Personally,The Transformers movies are the only thing I mostly look forward to through the years.

[Flyingheart]

From what Ive heard about I am number 4 is that its not that good of a movie.. =/ but i will have to judge for myself.

[omegaweapon2]

Mr. Bay produced it so I can't really tell if he had complete supervision of it. I am number four was an alright filler while waiting for the TF3. One thing I know of is that Mr. Bay listens to what the fans has to say and probably lurks somewhere in the forums.
:D

:D

Are you serious..? why would he do that? that means that he is undercover lol and that we might have said bad things to him if we have ever disagreed with what ever he said on the forum while being undercover lol.
I don't wanna say bad things to him! O_o BTW he can just use his own account and just read what we are saying on here.. also.. everybody can get a account from the cast members to people from other movie studios who are trying to influence the fans and Michael's project's in a bad way... i don't know, it's ridiculous to think he's on here.. Nelson would never keep a secret like that hidden from us, if he ever said something to undercover Michael we would have noticed it already they would probably be like "blabla, oh yeah i totally agree with you Nelson" *wink* and "and i agree with you undercover Michael" *wink* lol or something similar like that you know.

[omegaweapon2]

Well he could get more of a less biased opinion if it was from just from members talking. I doubt everybody already had befriended Mr. Bay's main account :p

I just recall some time long ago there were members talking about a car chase scene and make it longer. Somebody pointed out since they are transformers it should be a rather a getaway battle with alternate robots running. Result? That awesome battle/chase with those decepticonn/predators and that scene with bumblebee transforming and catching Sam in mid air which was awesome.

Now imagine if Mr. Bay ask with his main account. There would a be a lot of trolls in it.:D There are a lot of random haters that come here before a TF movie is released. :borat

Then again I'm pretty wasted and it may not be real.:lmaoBUT he did mention he listens to the fans when he hired Peter.

[Aliafne]

Hmhhh Just came across this Transformers article on the HUngarian HBO site. I summarise it.
So it sais: " Brian Goldner the chief executive of Hasbro said on monday that together with Paramount and Michael Bay and producer Steven Spielbers they are negotiating actively about the future. According to Variety they want to shoot two movies at the same time which would be less expensive. .. Michael Bay will return for shure as a producer for the movie and according to Variety he is also interested in directing if he can make Pain and Gain before.
The article also mentiones that there are talk about Jasen STatham as lead adn that there will be a Transformers: The Ride 3D at Universal Studios."

Hmmm

From io9:
The Movie Projects that Michael Bay Should Do Next (http://io9.com/5864007/the-movie-projects-that-michael-bay-should-do-next)


Terminator 5/Terminator reboot
I'm torn about this one — on the one hand, another Terminator movie seems totally unnecessary, and Terminator Salvation was a powerful argument in favor of just letting the series die. On the other hand, the basic idea of time-traveling cyborgs wreaking havoc and smashing shit up is just full of boundless possibilities for awesome. And the one major change Salvation did to the Terminator universe was to make it more like Transformers. So why not just embrace it, and make a totally crazypants Terminator movie with giant robots, like pretty much only Michael Bay can? John Connor could be a young guy searching to figure out who he is, with his best friend a quirky cyborg trying to protect him from all the other cyborgs.

Planet Hulk
If The Avengers is as mega-successful as everybody expects, then Marvel may eventually decide that the third time's a charm for a Hulk movie. And there's pretty much one Hulk storyline that we'd kill to see on the big screen: Greg Pak's masterwork, where Bruce gets exiled to the planet Sakaar and forced to fight as a gladiator — until he leads a rebellion. It's basically like John Carter meets the Incredible Hulk, and the movie version would require one thing: a capacity for sheer, joyful destruction and craziness. Although there are a lot of supporting characters who need a fair bit of real character development, like Miek, so you'd need a strong screenwriter involved. Whatever happened, it would probably be the greatest Bayhem of his career. Seriously.

Robot Jox remake
This one is sort of a no-brainer — this underappreciated 1990 movie has many of the same elements as the Transformers movies, including huge machines pounding the stuffing out of each other. But it also opens up a lot of scope for fun human drama, and would allow Bay to stretch his creative muscles. It's 50 years after a nuclear apocalypse, and war has been abolished. Instead, the two great superpowers now settle their differences the sensible way: with giant mecha gladitorial matches. Achilles, the pilot of one of the great giant battlesuits, wants to retire — but he keeps getting pulled back in, and meanwhile there's corruption and conspiracy all around him. Put the female mecha pilot Athena into some booty shorts and add a funny sidekick, and you've got a Michael Bay movie right here.

Spy Hunter
He drives around, shooting spies on the highway. It's like the perfect setup. But Michael Bay could add whole layers of meaning to this simple premise — for one thing, he would have to jump his car over explosions on the highway, while shooting at enemy helicopters. And you need a sexy female mechanic named Red, who can fix the car while it's still going top speed. But for another, the eponymous Spy Hunter would be faced with the difficulty of figuring out who's a spy while going 100 miles per hour. Any car on the highway could theoretically be driven by a spy — so how do you figure out which is which, without ever slowing down? You trust your heart, that's how, and you man up, and you drive like gangbusters, until you run every last spy off the road. It writes itself.

Evangelion
After watching the first two full-length movie versions of this anime classic (http://io9.com/5742232/evangelion-20-brings-giant-robot-teen-angst-to-america), we're trying to imagine which U.S. director could possibly bring to life the giant-mecha-suit-vs.-weird-angels action, plus all of the angst and daddy issues. And the somewhat incesty teen sexuality, complete with ogling and inexpressible longing. It's a whole bundle of Freudian schmutz, mixed up with supermassive explosions and giant combat. And if someone actually decent wrote the screenplay, we bet Michael Bay could film the hell out of this.



Space Mountain
Now that every Disneyland ride needs its own movie, this one should be a Michael Bay joint. Why is outer space inside a mountain? Who cares! It's a thrill ride — especially if there are awesome cars driving inside the mountain and then winding up in space. Maybe there's a hyperspace gateway, or a pair of transdimensional booty shorts, and our hero has to journey through this Mountainspace to find out who he really is. But before he finds out who he is, he has to find out what he is — is he a man? More to the point — is he a Mountaineer? Figuring out the answer will involve blowing a lot of sheeit up. [/URL]

Steven Spielberg Talks Michael Bay Returning for TRANSFORMERS 4; Plus an Update on INDIANA JONES 5 (http://collider.com/steven-spielberg-michael-bay-transformers-4-indiana-jones-5/130116/)



Director Steven Spielberg has two very different movies coming out this holiday season. One is a fun, animated action-adventure (The Adventures of Tintin (http://collider.com/tag/the-adventures-of-tintin)), while the other is a very serious drama about World War I (War Horse (http://collider.com/tag/war-horse)). In anticipation of the release of those films, The Beard recently spoke to Entertainment Weekly (http://www.ew.com/). His full interview will run in the latest issue, but the director made some comments regarding Michael Bay returning for a fourth Transformers pic and gave an update on Indiana Jones 5, both of which are now available. In addition, he addressed recent discouraging comments he made about Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.Hit the jump to see what he had to say.

Speaking with EW, Spielberg was asked whether he thought Bay would ever return for another Transformers outing. Here’s his response (with a big thanks to /Film (http://www.slashfilm.com/steven-spielberg-michael-bay-transformers-genre-locked-indy-5-expands-crystal-skull-criticism/?utm_source=Movie+Magic&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+slashfilm+%28%2FFilm%29) for the quotes):

“I hope so, because I think he made the best of the three with this last one. I certainly can’t imagine anybody other than Michael being equipped to make another Transformers. He’s invented a genre and he’s got the secret formula.”
While I didn’t quite feel that the insanely cool action towards the end of Dark of the Moon made up for the rest of it, Spielberg apparently feels differently. There seems to be a glimmer of hope for those keen on Bay returning, as evidenced by the action director’s recent comments to Channel News Asia (http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/1169076/1/.html) (via /Film):

“How did I know someone’s going to ask me this question today? We’re talking about it, but there’s nothing right now. I’m going to do a tiny movie (http://collider.com/steven-spielberg-michael-bay-transformers-4-indiana-jones-5/130116/#) first, then we’ll talk about it, if I potentially do it.”
Initially Bay was pretty adamant (http://collider.com/michael-bay-transformers-4-transformers-5/121376/) that Dark of the Moon was his last effort for the franchise, but it definitely sounds like he’s thinking about changing his mind. If he does indeed come back, Paramount will be extremely happy.

[Flyingheart]

Sure... he just can't act ;)

I havent seen one Twilight movie.. maybe i should have, it was on TV two days ago i believe, maybe next time lol :P

The first movie was supposed to be only produced by Bay. The second was rumored to be on Michael's radar since 2007.
I'm more interested on what's that new franchise that Michael said he's considering a few weeks ago.
