Michael Bay: Spielberg told me to stop after “Transformers: Dark of the Moon”, but I didn’t listen

Retreat in a hurry and stop in time are very valuable qualities, but many people can’t do this, especially the sequels of Hollywood’s dog tail.

Michael Bay also recently admitted that Spielberg persuaded him to quit after directing “Transformers: Dark of the Moon‎”, but he didn’t listen.

When promoting “Ambulance”, Michael Bay recalled: “I made too many “Transformers”, and Steven Spielberg said this at the time, he told me to stop after the third part, and I said no. But Pyra Beg me ranked fourth, and the global box office has exceeded 1.1 billion US dollars. Then I said that I can’t make it anymore, but they came to me again, in fact, I should refuse this request. But how to say, making “Transformers” is also It’s fun too.”

“Transformers: The Last Knight” invested $210 million and grossed just $600 million worldwide.

Since then, Paramount has decided not to work with Michael Bay anymore, letting Travis Knight direct “Bumblebee”, and 2023’s “Transformers: Rise of the Beasts” also finds Steven Caple Jr. to direct.

Michael Bay also recalled the best-received first episode in an interview: “It was a bit of a trepidation just after filming, we had too much control over special effects, and it was the first time that highly reflective digital effects were used in a movie, so it created a A lot of new territory. Audiences love it, $709 million worldwide ($150 million invested)”
