Is Michael Bay headed for another dimension?

Published at:  Mar 19, 2007 1:09:42 AM CDT

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. That headline didn't mean Michael Bay is crazy... eccentric maybe, but not crazy. Not yet. No, I mean his next flick is going to be a sci-fi movie, an adaptation of Whitley Strieber's upcoming novel 2012: THE WAR FOR SOULS. I'm guessing they're only keeping the 2012 part of the title.

The story that Strieber (who wrote THE WOLFEN) came up with focuses on a scientist that discovers multiple versions of Earth exist in different dimensions and that all of them are doomed to perish in 2012, as predicted by the Mayans.

He has to team up with an alternate dimension self to figure out how to stop the apocalypse.

Bay is in line to direct and his writers on TRANSFORMERS, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, will produce. They aren't writing the script, though. They are currently looking for someone to adapt.

Sounds like more big spectacle from Bay. I'm sure he'll make Earth blow up real nice-like... be very interesting to see what a Michael Bay apocalypse looks like on screen... Tiny, I'm sure. Understated, even... yeah...

    by jimmy_009

    When done well. I remember a ST:TNG where Worf was switching between parallel realities. One of my favorite episodes. The end is awesome, you can see hundreds of alternate Enterprises floating in space at once.

    Bay,could you plse make Transformers look more like G1?

    by gibsonusa returns

    I know you don't like the boxy look, but could you nevertheless (should there be a sequel) make Optimus and Co. look more like their TV show counterparts? Meaning, no more flames on Optimus, Bumblebee as a small subcompact car, Ironhide as a big red van, and Starscream as a "slender" tricky bastard. They don't have to be EXACTLY like the cartoon...they don't even need to be close...but rather simply influenced by the original.
    I will watch the TF movie and hope that its good. However I hope in the future the visual design can lean more towards Transformers and less Gundam. Thanks.

    by chief redcock

    You'll just invite comparisons to the Arthur C. Clarke/Kubrick/Hyams stuff. A film by Michael Bay can't stand up to those comparisons... even if you go for that blow 'em up sort of thing... which I don't. This needs a retitle.

    Okay Let's Lay The Strieber Thing To Rest

    by www.valiens.com

    Strieber did not need to make up alien shit to sell books. Remember "The Wolfen?" Remember "The Hunger?" Remember how those were both made into movies and all of this was prior to his first abduction book, "Communion?" "Communion" was a huge success and "Transformation," too. But by then the anti-Strieber media blitz was in full force and soon thereafter he faded into obscurity as far as the mass media was concerned. He even went bankrupt at one point. So all in all going public with the alien abduction stuff hurt him. He became a laughing stock, the anal probe joke of "South Park." Stephen King disavowed him, thought it was all nonsense. But through the years he's stuck to his story and in some strange ways his story played out for the betterment of humanity. Stop laughing, this is what I mean: He was writing a book about edge science with radio host Art Bell. One night he got a knock on his hotel door in Toronto, Canada. Some old seemingly human man walked in and told him...well...everything you'd every want to know about anything important. Strieber jotted it down and it became his small book, "The Key." One of the topics the man touched on was how the stopping of the gulf stream will cause the next ice age and soon. Strieber and Bell stopped working on the edge science book and began looking into this man's claims. From that research they wrote "The Coming Global Superstorm." They went on all the talk shows to promote it, got laughed off the set of The Today Show. Global warming? Just a theory. Gulf stream stopping? Ice age? Pure nonsense. Everyone knows ice shelves won't melt for at least another hundred years.... That book was the basis of the mediocre "The Day After Tomorrow" flick. Bad as it was it at least triggered a shift in the masses' response to a dire situation which is now, thanks to the likes of Al Gore and real fucking scientists, conventional wisdom. In fact, the Chinese govenment forced their climatologists to watch the movie. it was mandatory viewing! So scoff at the man if you want but if you trace back the beginning of the turn in the American (and Chinese at least) psyche about global warming, it starts in the hotel room of an alien abductee having a conversation with a stranger who looked human but had knowledge beyond anything we've ever heard before.

    SK229 - when the alien head pops up behind the dresser

    by finky089

    That part scared the living shit out of me when I first saw Communion as a teenager. It's been a long time since I've seen the film, but my recollection is that much of it was kind of corny (though Walken played it great), but that scene in the bedroom when he wakes up and the alien pops out from behind the dresser - jesus h christ! That shit creeped me out for YEARS afterward. I mean everytime I woke up to take a leak in th emiddle of the night, you bet your ass that scene popped into my mind. Nothing will freak you out more during a midnight pissing that wondering if you look into the mirror above the toilet whether you will see a fucking alien pop it's head out from behind the shower curtain.

    Also if you're referring to 2012

    by doc_strange

    Or the Procession of the Equinox. It was intended by the Mayan culture to be world decline, death and finally renewal. Many Latinos believe this is the time when their culture will reclaim their territory and drive the whites who stole it back to the Caucus mountains where apparently white people originated. According to what I've seen (seriously), there is apparently a large barrier surrounding the Caucus mountains as if the people from there were never meant to escape, and yet..... As for the Mayan prophecies, well it can only be speculated upon as 99% of true Mexican/Latino literature was destroyed in the conquests in the 1500's by Cortez and other would-be conquerors. If anyone has heard the rap group, El Vuh, there is a song that makes reference to 2012, with an elder saying something about the latino nation being asleep for 500 years, but now we begin to wake up. Around December 26 is the time it will occur. What will happen, we can only speculate but if by some reason I start to gain supernatural powers, Whitey is who I'm coming after first. Word.

    No one is saying Michael Bay is the worst director..

    by polyh3dron

    Especially when we've got directors like Paul WS and Uwe Boll consistently crapping on celluloid.

    Technically speaking, Bay is pretty damn good. He is amazing when it comes to shot composition and just making things look cool. He is almost unmatched in that category. The problem most of us have with Michael Bay has to do with the stories he tells and how they are told. Like how he calls his Transformers film "A story about a boy and his car" and how he doesn't want to make a film that foxuses "on those gay robots". He thinks he has to put FLAMES on Optimus for people to like the damn movie. I can see the forced romantic subplot already.

None of this will happen tho eh? ill become a hater after the TF movie. read communion and looove the movie, comedy classic, Walken is dynamite. i liked valiens little essay, hope this gets made, we need a good parallel earths movie(theonewasnotit) but bay will armagedon it, that movie was , i couldnt believe how eeeehhhaarg..forget that movie. Make adapts of all streibers freakshow books. They're heereee...like the sound of that big 'cat head' in the back of the neighbouring car SK29 mentioned,..and finky089, im right there with ya on that scene from communion,..it looks fake but real sure we know its a prop but i think if the real thing showed up that too would look fake..and what about that scene with the f***in crazy spinnin' top robot with the little black hat that comes flyin into the bedroom..and the little blue doctors.."you're talkin about folklore, munchkins? I'm talking about little blue fuckers this size.." i know thats not an exact quote but.."you people are in for one very big surprise.." yeah, f***in give us one MCMLXXVI, or just disapear and come back under another handle..dont make me a hater pal, i like yer style so far.

Unless that of course is the real reason why bay hate exists, Films which are as terrible tomb raider making money. then it becomes Indie cinema vs corporate cinema or Substance over style. Summer is not the time for making Brainy, mature films about worthy subjects. The people who run Hollywood know this and keep the brainy films for Oscar time. People who like thinkingfilms dont like blockbusters and consider them a waste of time and so Bay is there enemy. Want to know the real reason why Marty never got an oscar? simple, Marty's movies were never, ever commercial. They were darkly themed movies about violence, troubled people like travis bickle or mob men like henry hill or Jake La Motta. Redford was very commercial and so he won best picture. Bay is commercial and he knows it, the studios know it too and yet he is the hated filmmaker of all time beside boll and ws anderson. The real reason he is hated so much is that his films make money with the exception of the island that bombed. Critics hate bay because they want more artisitc type of films. people will go to see transformers. How much would it cost to run campaign that says Hey america Harry Knowles Talk backers think you are all dumb for seeing this movie. what would the reaction be.

    i dont mind some popcorn movies, as long as they are entertaining, well done and and keep me glued to a seat for two or so hours, michael bay films fail at that. i remember i got sick watching two of his movies, literally, and after seeing bad boys 2, i decided i wasnt gonna waste my time with this fucktard... and yes, i prefer substance over style. raimi and spielberg have both of that, bay doesnt have any substance and his style is shitty at best

    people who like thinking films do not automatically hate blockbusters. Bay is the enemy/ focus of this hatred because he is the ultimate example of unoriginality/ mediocrity overpromoted. He also maintains a large elment of creative control- the writers write what they are told to (I could be wrong on this), as proved by TF which he envisaged as the story of one boy and his aching penis.

    "Donnie Darko" with explosions than any of the time travel films mentioned? It sounds more like parallel time line universes. You know, the big secret plot of LOST? Oh, oops. *SPOILER*

    at least with bay you can see the money on the screen

    by wcoop893

    you know you got your money's worth and you can see on the screen where that huge ass budget went. i really dont think you can say that about too many movies. superman returns for example. oh and yeah the pirate sequels both cost 250 and you can tell, but im just saying he puts my money on the screen for me and i like it

    Transformers will either make or break Bay's career

    by doc_strange

    The fact that so many fans and whatnot are up in arms about Bay fucking with the characters says this will be Bay's last big budget film. I don't know of any director who was able to come back after having two big time flops, at least no director that had talent which is something that Bay obviously lacks in terms of storytelling. Coupled with the fact that all his movies, yes, including The Rock, which was utterly stupid, I think execs are closely watching to see if he can pull one out of his ass. I say this movie will make some but not all of its money back. Though it seems the "big dumb fun, lowest common denominator" crowd is picking up the slack.

    Sound Wave

    by pjdon

    Off the subject but i sent this to Harry and he didn't put it up. Shia LaBeouf said in an interview with UK mag Total Film that they have actually built a mobile phone that can change into a robot for Transformers and that it is called Sound Wave. It's on pg53, check it out. A lot of you will probably complain that his is too hip or contempary or something but i'm sure a cassette recorder was just as 'hip' in the 80's. This seems like a logical disguise for a spy robot and i personally can't wait to see an actual mobile transform, no cgi or nothing.

    Whitley Strieber claims he was abucted by aliens

    by gornpirate

    They even made a crappy movie based on his books about it starring Christopher Walken. I guess he found time away from the anal probes to create this piece of garbage.
