Whether you like it or not, 10 more years of “Transformers” are on the way.
Hasbro chief Steven J. Davis confirmed the development of “Transformers” 5, 6, 7 and 8 in a Q&A at Mipcom (check out the full discussion in the player above).
“You’re going to see a new “Transformers” movie coming from Hasbro, and Paramount, and Michael Bay, and our other partners,” he said (see 13:30 in the video).
“We just finished – as some of you may have read, just an incredible experience – we decided that we wanted to plot out the next 10 years of the Transformers franchise, and so we got together in a room over a three-month period of time. Nine of some of the most creative writers I have ever worked with, shepherded by Akiva Goldsman – who many of you may know won an Academy Award for “A Beautiful Mind” and written a bunch of great movies – and they plotted out the next 10 years of Transformers. Similarly, we are doing the same in television and in digital. So stay tuned, Transformers 5 is on its way, and 6 and 7 and 8.”
Reports of sequels and spinoffs have been circling for a while now, however the only confirmed upcoming installment was “Transformers 5″, which has Goldsman on board to write the script.
As for a director for that film, “Transformers: Age of Extinction” helmer Michael Bay recently revealed he’s “not committed to any idea as of yet”, but is having discussions.
Re: directing TF5. No, it’s not official. I have not committed to any idea as of yet. Just met with Steven and we are discussing.
