“Transformers” helmer selects next project
Uber-producer Michael Bay (say what you will about the guy, but could you imagine what popcorn action movies would be like without him?) has decided on his next project.
According to Variety, “The Transformers” director is attached to reteam with writing-producing duo Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci on sci-fi project “2012,” based on bestselling author Whitley Strieber’s upcoming tome of the same name, for Warner Bros.
The story follows an academic researcher who opens a portal into a parallel universe and makes contact with his double in order to stop an apocalypse foreseen by the ancient Mayans.
Kurtzman and Orci, who penned Bay’s upcoming DreamWorks tentpole “Transformers” and brought the director aboard “2012,” will produce. The duo also wrote the upcoming “Star Trek”.
