In a post over on his message board, Michael Bay has posted a comment related to the Middle East filming of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen as well Transformers: The Ride
"The shooting in the the Middle East is ground breaking - an awesome time had by all the crew.
The Transformer Ride at Universal making all the press rounds - not
sure yet - they had me in a press release saying I supported it - but
Universal has a long way to go in my mind. I don't support it - I'm not
involved and not sure the story of the ride works, and I know Optimus
is not going to just show up to be directed by some new people that
have never worked with him. I hate when people bullshit a quote from me
that I never said.
I'll keep you informed. Maybe the guy making the rides at Universal will direct Transformers 3????
