That's right we all initially heard this news for tf4 so this is not accurate and just take it with a grain of salt

I'll believe it when they hire a different guy. From what I've read of the reviews Michael Bay's other big movie this year TMNT is not being well received either, I'll be glad to see him go.

I kinda feel sorry for Michael Bay, he clearly wants to do something else but he's now the 'Transformers Guy' who nobody is willing to hire. I guess thats his punishment for his part in these travesties of filmmaking.

Unfortunately the same misfortune has not befallen the writers.

TMNT is not being well received either

What this has to do with anything is lost on me, considering it made about 50% above what it's estimated opening was.

Just saying that money talks and reviews walk.

Bay's using TF5 as positioning to get Paramount to let him do something he wants. He did Pain & Gain (a passion project) prior to TF4, and who knows, he might actually back off and Exec Produce TF5 instead of directing. Either way, it's going to get Bay something from Paramount, you can be sure of that.

I wouldn't hold my breath.
