What do we know so far for TF5, will Michael Bay return for the fifth installment? sources say he won't be directing TF5. Same thing was said, when DOTM was released that he was going do other projects (Pain & Gain 2). Yet, he directed Age of Extinction after he said he was done with Transformers. But Hasbro and Steven Spielberg convinced Bay to stay and do AoE. Peter Cullen said at a interview that he hopes Bay stays and directs TF5, he started and he's the one who should finish, if not let him pick his successor and leave the franchise at the right hands. So my question is, when will we get updates about Michael Bay, if he's real intentions are true and he does decides to step down, the cast, the new characters, plots and productions?
Right now very little is confirmed. We know they have hired a writer's room full of talented people and we know the sort of release date the studio is aiming for. Beyond that it's really just rumors since very little has came out as far as official information.
Not for another year will we get anything that could remotely be certain to be set in stone. Seriously, it's not being released for another two years - why would any information about a film not on anybody's radar right now be even known when they haven't even written the script for it?!
Well, technically they already have written the script for it. In the writers room. except the script hasn't been finalized yet by the studio. Either then that, yeah, technically we are in Pre-pre-production still. The movie is set for 2017 so we probably wont get much info until next summer most likely.
