Bay talks TRANSFORMERS 2, FRIDAY THE 13th redo, OUIJA!
Posted by Matt Holmes
Michael Bay spoke to EW about various projects he is either directing or has a heavy hand in producing.
On TRANSFORMERS 2 which he is currently filming out on a secret location…
When we were writing the script, I said to the writers, “I hate sequels that try to make it to the third movie. Pretend like we’re never having a third movie, so let’s go for broke on the second one. I hate those cliffhangers! Let’s just make this movie stand on its own.” I really feel this movie is not a forced sequel. I think the script is really good, and I think it’s got a lot of new stuff in it. There are a lot of rumors out there, but we’ve released a lot of fake stuff. We’ve done a really good job of keeping things secret.
On the FRIDAY THE 13TH redo…
I haven’t seen the director’s cut because he’s still cutting, but I know this one will really be scary; it’s also funny, as well. It’s a fun college adventure that goes awry. It’s not a movie I would ever show my mom! (Laughs) We don’t make these for our mothers; we make these for the fans out there.
You’re just not going to believe the first 12 minutes! It’s a twist in itself.
On potentially his next directing project after TRANSFORMERS… the horror movie OUIJA…
It’s something we’re playing with, yes. I’m just producing it. As far as being a director, I’m not sure what I’m doing next…There’s a plot that I actually wrote the outline for; we’re just trying to get the script right.

Bay can make it bigger, louder and dumber. He just can’t make it good.
