How about a Transformers movie with Nic Cage, Werner Herzog, Anthony Hopkins, and Kenneth Branagh?

 

Jeff Nathanson attached to the script?

Transformers: Optimus: The Wrath of God

[MrPink]

I'd love to see Gary Busey in a John Turturro/John Malkovich type role in Transformers.

[Dementeleus]

Indeed. Then, like STID and TASM2 before it, we can have a Transformers movie that uses someone's magical blood as a plot device.

 

Or magical motor oil, at least. Maybe they can get Castrol as a sponsor.

When I sarcastically asked about Jersey Boys numbers, he responded

When I saw that he responded to you I JUMPED in with a Malf request and even included a shirtless Hugh Jackman gif but not nothing.

He would be perfect for the insane hammy types of roles they played.

Transformers was not very good ... of course, I didn't expect it to be good since Baumer didn't even like it.

I'm just picturing Nic Cage playing Wahlberg's part and imagining which words in each of Wahlberg's lines he'd scream.

Advice: Use shirtless Chris Evans

I think the franchise needs better writers first.

 

Peter Berg is a good director, but he got saddled with Battleship.

I read a quote today about how writing for a Bay TF movie means not having to do stuff like "story", or "logic". It was in one of the threads here (this one? I dunno, this is such a fuckin' crazy place, I lose track).

Basically, the combination of Bay, Transformers as source material and writers who lack self-respect is the reason the movies are shit. 

 

To be honest, I think even a half-way decent writer could get a a coherent story for a TF movie ready, if they had a director that is more than a salesman - a commercial, hyperactive, superfast-edit, frenzied director - like Bay. I think a lot of journeyman directors could pull off a not-terrible TF movie, somewhere in the 50% RT range.

[Empire]

Is Bay directing? Cause it would probably still be ass.

No, Nic Cage will not only be acting in it, but will be directing it to.

Breaking news

Paramount canceled Transformers V and will reboot with a new director for a 2018 release date.

You get an A for effort.

Magical blood: the answer, the solution, the 'totally logical' plot device to everything. Kurtzman and Orci definitely should have that copyrighted before anyone else got the idea and steal it from them.

[Fancyarcher]

No, Nic Cage will not only be acting in it, but will be directing it to.

 

The direction will be ten times more insane then it was previously.

Nic Cage shouldn't have been booted out..he did a damn good job in the 1st three.

Just watched the first hour of Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit

 

 

Hail Branagh

[reddevil18]

I'd actually pay good money to see present-day lunatic Nic Cage in a Michael Bay action extravaganza. Preferably a WW2 movie. Think Saving Private Ryan, but instead of saving them, they have to kill him, cause he's an alien, working for the Nazis, meant to infiltrate the US Government after his return to the US as a war hero.

Eh, they're not the first to use it, just the first to overuse it.

I bought a car, man. Turned out to be a frickin' ALIEN ROBOT!! That is NOT COOL!!
