This make me laugh!
Every time Michael Bay comes out with a new Transformers movie, everybody and their brother complains about the lack of a storyline, plot, whatever, and that it's focus on special effects is always over the top and too much. Yet this remains a billion dollar franchise! I guess this explains what I read the other day...
Paramount has assembled a group of writers to tackle upcoming Transformers sequels and spin-offs. These writers include Robert Kirkman (The Walking Dead) Art Marcum and Matt Holloway (Iron Man) Zak Penn (Pacific Rim 2) and Jeff Pinker (Amazing Spider-Man 2). That's a pretty talented group of writers! Paramount wants scripts for the upcoming movies so that Michael Bay can jump right in as soon as he's finished with his current project.
It was also reported that Paramount has brought in Andrew Barrer and Gabriel Ferrari (Ant-Man) to work on a prequel that will be an origin story of sorts that focuses on the Autobots and Decepticons home planet of Cybertron. The two signed on believing that they would be working on a live-action film, but now there's talk that it might be an animated movie, but nothing has been confirmed.
The Transformers franchise is Paramount's highest-grossing property, having made over $4 billion dollars world wide, so it's no surprise that they're wanting to expand their universe.
So which side do you fall on when it comes to the franchise? Are you a fan, or is it over-hyped? Let me know in the comments below!
