In a surprise move, it seems Transformers and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen director Michael Bay has decided to leave the franchise and not do a third movie.
It does seem weird that Michael would quit only months after saying he would simply be taking a break before doing Transformers 3 in 2012. It’s also interesting that he mentions it a day before the first public opening in the UK.
The most shocking thing about his interview with wenn.com (via IMDB) is that he will be doing something different: “I need to do something totally divergent, something without any explosions.” He also goes on to comment on reviewers, “It’s easy to go shoot an art movie in a winery in the South of France. But people have no idea how hard it is to create something like Transformers. They (the critics) review me before they’ve even seen the movie.” Don’t worry Michael, we liked it.
So fans, think back to 2006 and start deciding who you would love to direct the next installment of Transformers.

You probably didn’t notice whilst eating your turkey, but there was some Transformers action on TV over the holidays in the UK.
For anyone who hasn’t picked up Transformers on DVD or Blu-ray, but happen to have Sky, the film make it’s UK TV debut on Sky Movies Premiere (and HD) at 8pm on 27th December. Look out for the continuous repeats on the various Sky Movie channels.
Also airing was The Simpsons episode, Treehouse of Horror XIX, which parodies Transformers with the short, “Untitled Robot Parody”. Like most things Simpsons these days, it wasn’t very good.

Empire Magazine have released the first 300 entries in their latest and geatest poll: The 500 Greatest Movies Of All Time. Surprisingly, Transformers is represented with the 2007 movie being ranked at 309, ahead of other comic/kids movies such as X-Men 2, Spider-Man 2, Iron-Man, Star Wars Episode III and a lot of Disney/Pixar titles.
The likelihood of the original Transformers The Movie in the top 200 is very slim, but we can hope.
