Nope, he’s not talking about Transformers 4 on this interview. Instead, Director Michael Bay took his time to talk about the Transformers Live Action Movie Series as a whole, when he spoke to New York Times during an interview about his upcoming movie; Pain & Gain. But there is a small tidbit regarding Transformers 4 at the very beginning of the article. It seems as though preliminary CGI Animation has begun and there is going to be a robot-to-robot battle in the middle of an unknown city.

“As Mr. Bay watched ILM’s preliminary animation for his latest“Transformers” movie, blocky images of giant robots trading blows in the middle of a city, his visceral reactions, often with variations on the word “cool” — “That’s pretty cool”; “We can do something cooler”; “Maybe you could get a nice slice through his face” — seemed to signal approval.

On the first “Transformers,” Mr. Bay said, he was chided by Steven Spielberg for allowing actors to improvise too much.

“Steven said to me, ‘Michael, I would like you to shoot something that’s in the script,’ ” he recalled. “And I was like, ‘Steven, this is how I work.’ ” Even if 80 percent of what he shot was terrible, Mr. Bay said, “You’re going to get 20 percent that’s gold.”

There is also the baseline level of scorn that greets Mr. Bay’s new releases, delivered with a hostility usually reserved for corrupt politicians or industrial polluters. For a not-at-all-random sampling, consult Roger Ebert’s takedown of the 2009 “Transformers” sequel “Revenge of the Fallen,” which he called “a horrible experience of unbearable length, briefly punctuated by three or four amusing moments.”

“Faust made a better deal” than Mr. Bay did, he added."

Check out the original article at New York Times. It’s a good read for Transformers Live Action Movie Fans and Michael Bay Fans alike.
