With TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON only two weeks away from its June 29 (U.S.) and June 30 (local) release date, Michael Bay, who directed all three movies, have announced that the third one will be his last installment. Same goes to actor Shia LaBeouf who also recently confirmed the same thing. But then again, fans should know that the TRANSFORMERS mythology is so wide that a trilogy alone isn't enough. Which is why, it comes to no surprise that a fourth sequel is inevitable.
Now according to an exclusive interview from Movieweb, TRANSFORMERS co-star Tyrese Gibson has revealed that executive producer Steven Spielberg might be the possible director for the fourth sequel. Here's what he had to say about the comment.
"If Michael Bay decides to come back for Transfomers 4, I'll be there. We'll make it happen. (Right now), I think we are all exhausted with the process. If this movie does what we are all assuming it's going to do, then, I think its time to revisit this conversation. When it's time. There are no concepts, no direction, no nothing for Transfomers 4, because everyone has been so focused on Transformers: Dark of the Moon. But here is the safety net. Are you ready for this? Michael Bay decides to not come back for Transfomers 4. There is always Steven Spielberg! I am not saying that Steven Spielberg is for a fact going to direct Transfomers 4. But it is a beautiful safety net to know that one of the biggest, most respected directors in the world happens to be an executive producer on Transformers. He is someone who knows this world. And he could easily step in and direct Transfomers 4 if he decided to. The thing is, there are a lot of directors who deal with producers who happen to not be Steven Spielberg. So if the director decides to bow out of their film, they are sent scrambling. "Who can we get to direct this?" What a hell of a safety net this is if Michael Bay decides not to come back. Steven Spielberg could easily step in and make it happen."
Steven Spielberg for TRANSFORMERS 4? If that is true, it will be totally awesome!
