Grab your earplugs and bet the farm on bikini wax futures, Producer Lorenzo Di Bonaventura has announced that Michael Bay will direct the next Transformers movie that is currently scheduled to hit theaters on June 29th, 2014. The first three Transformers movies have earned over $2.6 billion at the worldwide box office, making it far and away Paramount’s top franchise and insuring that it will survive in some form to assault theaters in coming years.
Di Bonaventura told MTV News, “I think we are really going to do a reboot,” before indicating that he and Bay had not decided exactly how much surgery they were prepared to perform on the highly successful franchise, “It’s a hybrid because there is still continuity going on, but there will be a lot of new cast members. Whether there’s anybody from the first cast, we don’t even know yet. But it’s going to be a whole new story.”
The producer was referring to the “human” actors, whose escalating salaries add considerably to a movie’s cost as a franchise continues, and fortunately not to film’s real stars, the robots---Di Bonaventura made sure to let fans know, “But the characters that would come along would be Optimus (Prime) and Bumblebee.”
