It has been reported that Michael Bay will be directing the next installment of the Transformers franchise, "Transformers 5".
Bay has agreed to come back on board, but under one condition - he wants to make a "smaller" film first. This means that the film will most likely not be released in 2016.
Ben Kendrick, producer for the film, said in a statement, "I think it's one of those classic things where somebody reported that, and suddenly it became our plan. We have never discussed the idea of how to hand it off, honestly. It's not like we don't think, well what happens if Michael doesn't do it, of course, you do. But we want to keep Michael on this, so we're not spending any time worrying about who could come in. We're trying to figure out how to keep him going and keep him excited."
