Transformers 5 Release Date, Latest News: Sequel to Say Goodbye to Michael Bay and Hello to New Director

The fourth installment of the action-packed movie Transformers entitled Age of Extinction have garnered quite a mix of good and bad reviews. Still, it did not stop the film from hitting a jackpot by earning more than one billion from worldwide sales. Hence, it is only proper to give the fans another taste of Transformer action as they announce that there will be a fifth Transformer movie to hit the theatres in the next years.

Despite the great news of the next installment, fans are a little sad about the news that Michael Bay would not be back along with the franchise to direct the next movie. In an interview he said that he will be passing the baton to someone else as he moves on with other projects. We can only hope that the studio will get someone to fill in those big shoes he left behind.

Michael Bay have turned down the offer to direct Transformers 5 to focus on other movies such as a horror flick entitled 'Ouija', a sci-fi thriller 'Project Almanas' and one undisclosed TV Project. With him gone, the studio is out to search for who to tap to sit on the director's chair. Some directors which are probably part of the consideration is JJ Abrams, the great one behind the films 'Star Trek', Josh Whedon from 'The Avengers and 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' and Zach Snyder, the man behind '300' and 'Man of Steel' among others.

Aside from this director hunt, we also received news that the lovely Ms. Megan Fox said that she would not mind appearing in Transformers 5. Whether cameo or not, we will surely welcome her with a smile.

Transformers 5 will be hitting the theatres by 2016 with no specific date yet.
