Director Michael Bay has updated his official website with an update on his upcoming film "Pain & Gain", which includes a brief mention of Transformers 4. Take a look at his update below, the Transformers 4 info comes in the last paragraph.

Pain & Gain

Yes it's coming in April!

It's my $26 million dollar film that I've had for many years, finally I had a moment to shoot it, and it that was a blast! I filmed it in Miami. Pain & Gain is still in the cutting room.

But what I can say this film is a funny, twisted, true crime story. The people who have seen it say to me it's totally original in its style. But you guys will be the judges. One thing I do know is studios are now a days so shy to make these type of movies, but I know audiences love to still see them.

What I really like about the film are the quirky and rich characters. Why was it fun? Because, simply, my amazing cast. Marc Wahlberg, Dwayne Johnson, and Anthony Mackie were a great trio together. But also working with Ed Harris, who I loved working with in The Rock. Also Tony Shalhoub, not only the greatest guy but an amazing actor. Rebel Wilson, Rob Cordry, Ken Jeoung, and Michael Rispoli round out the cast. And also a new find, Bar Paly.

But I must say Wahlberg and Johnson play totally fresh characters and that's why it's so fun to watch them on screen. The editing process is a bit slower on this one because I'm in the middle of launching my three TV shows and prepping Transformers 4–which is going in a total new direction and in a way to really broaden the franchise to give it lasting legs.

Ya know, I like the Bay movies, for what they are... Transformer action flicks made by an idiot. They're entertaining if you go in with low expectations as to a story line, etc ...

But Mr. Bay, I'm sorry to say, YOU are the not reason Transformers will have "lasting legs"! This series was around over 20 years before you got a hold of it, and it will survive DESPITE you, long after you're gone.

The more that spews from this man's mouth, the more I can't stand him. Everything is my/I/me ... hell, he used it 3 or 4 times in one sentence alone talking about Pain & Gain. Ego-maniac.

Well considering the rumors that Season 3 of prime might be the last season with the current characters and the new "Beast Hunters" brand I'd say it looks like a full force Beast wars revivial. I'm not all to sure what to expect. I do have a few younger friends (20s) who love that franchise.

they need to give it up
first movie was great it had that brought to life for the first time feel
second was somewhat okay but too much was going on
third little better story but did not totally follow the second
and now they want to go in a new direction if better designs and a true to comic story, sure
but i have a feeling that they will do to TF what they did to the Batman and robin and Batman forever movies

Coming from this guy that could mean anything, but it also probably means that I still won't like it.

Is he an idiot though? I can't stand the guy and I completely agree with what you said about how highly he seems to rate himself. I really don't like the live-action Transformers movies, and as I've gotten older and become more versed in the ways of the world, I've gone back and watched some other Michael Bay movies that I used to really enjoy and I've realised just how shallow they are. Bad Boys, Bad Boys 2, Armageddon, Pearl Harbour. (OK, so I always knew Pearl Harbour was bad, but I know have a new appreciation of just how bad.) But you have to admit the guy knows how to make movies that appeal to the masses, and he does so with a scary efficiency. I've started to wonder who I should have the bigger problem with: Bay for (in my opinion) mocking a franchise I love to bits, or the popcorn munching masses that have provided the demand that he supplies.
