Michael Bay has become a close partner with Paramount especially if he helped them stack in big greenbacks with his robotic franchise. His relationship with them seems very close like the family. Paramount sees Bay as their leader and even told him that their fate relies on him.
"I've become friends with these guys that run Paramount and they [told me,] 'We're going to get fired if we don't have a 2011 franchise,' so I'm like you can't let these guys down."
He went on to how he provided many people jobs with his film.
"When you say yes to movie like this you automatically give 3000 people jobs. 1000 for the toys. 2000 for the filmmaking. I'm going to put [the small film] on hold and do it right after ['Transformers 3']."
Micheal Bays' leadership does not seem to fade away anytime soon as he is ready to provide fans more robots and more plot twists.
"You can't just rehash the old," he explained. "We're adding a lot of new elements. We're adding new characters. We're adding a lot of twists." Characters? Twists?
Ever since Avatar's uprising with 3D, Bay has been experimenting scenes for Transformers 3 that may look fantastic popping out the big screen.
"It's a process we're testing with some 'Transformers' scenes," he said. "How successful it is with my movie in terms of a lot of real stuff coming out of the frame, real dirt, real complicated little particles coming towards the lens, because hopefully that process will work. I've seen some tests that look great on other movies. I just want to see how it looks on my footage."
Transformers 2 may not have been successful in terms of story driven quality, hopefully the 3rd sequel will be fixated more on the plot than more flashy flashy. It looks like he is still going for the shiny robots, but this time Avatar style.
