The one and only Don Murphy has dropped another update on his site. In the thread it is confirmed that Michael Bay is now FINALLY officially signed as the director of the upcoming Transformers movie.

"The real fans on this site are just the greatest- despite all the mudslinging and madness and fan shit I really feel like we are building a community. I know we are doing something right when that TFW2005 site continues to poo poo us. Theyâ€™ll pay to see the film three times just to tell us what we have done wrong.

Michael Bay is signed at this point for the film- BUT- he has to finish THE ISLAND and itâ€™s not finished yet- before he can focus on TF. His Line Producer a great guy named Ian Bryce (HI IAN!) is dealing with department heads and other details. We were hoping to have a script last week but we donâ€™t. But we will soon. Voice actors and Arcee and other things will be addressed at the right time. Welcome to the hell that is Producing- things move VERY slowly in my world. And yes, it is frustrating to me."

"So what is next for THE Project? Desanto and I will be at ComicCon. Someone had the idea to drop a big ass truck in the middle of the convention and wrap it up as â€œComing Soonâ€ â€“ we hopefully killed that lameness. We want to have bags and tee shirts and posters- all teasers. The Official Site will go on line at the con. We want to create the first ever Official fan blog. You can come by to the booth, type in your thoughts on TF and get a T-Shirt, and the blog will be permanently online for all to see. It will kind of be like this board, but an ultimate resource to the filmmakers- if it works."
