Shia LaBeouf sure did have a lot to say during the MTV Movie Awards this past Sunday. Aside from dropping hints that the ball is rolling on a fifth Indiana Jones movie, the 24-year-old actor (he turns 25 tomorrow) has said that he will not be back for another Transformers movie. The actor also added that director Michael Bay would most likely not return either.
Bay has a trio of movies he’s current producing. The most prominent of them is the long-gestating movie adaptation based on Hasbro’s Ouija Board game that has McG (Terminator Salvation, We Are Marshall) currently attached to direct. He also is producing a thriller called Fiasco Heights that has Samuel Bayer (2010’s A Nightmare on Elm Street) attached to direct.
LaBeouf has one project slated for release post-Transformers. In The Wettest County in the World, a Depression-era crime-drama, LaBeouf co-stars with Tom Hardy, Gary Oldman, Mia Wasikowska and Jessica Chastain.
LaBeouf went on to say that the franchise is still hot property so, “I imagine they’ll reboot it at some point with someone else.”
Could another director bring the level of CGI chaos that Michael Bay does and who could replace LaBeouf should Paramount decide to move forward with Transformers 4?
