The other feature length film will be animated and that one will be directed by Josh Cooley, who directed Toy Story 4.

Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

I’ve had it. I’ve had it with this terrible terrible producer. He is an untalented, inconsiderate, ignorant Hollywood puppet who doesn’t know TWO SH*TS about Transformers. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, look up any interview of him, or any quote from him concerning his opinions on the transformers movies, and you’ll very soon see how much HE was the root of every transformers movie problem until the present day, I’d argue even more than Michael bay. MOST of the BS nonsense that was shoehorned into the bayverse movies was due to this idiot. There are very few people I have such little respect and so much hate for. Why? Why would they drag HIM back into the picture RIGHT When this franchise has the potential to be something good again? I hate to sound like a pessimist, but with this one simple announcement, I have momentarily lost literally all hope for any upcoming transformers films. Until this man is wiped from the face of Transformers media, I will not see a hopeful ray of light again.

Goddammit, now I can't unsee it.

Producers are responsible for the financial backing and distribution of the product. That's about it.

1408
Transformers
Stardust
Imagine That
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra
Salt
Red
Transformers Dark of the Moon
The Devil Inside
Man on a Ledge
The Last Stand
GI Joe: Retaliation
Red 2
Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit
Transformers: Age of Extinction
Electric Slide
Deepwater Horizon
Transformers The Last Night
Kidnap
Unlocked
American Assassin
Only the Brave
The Meg
Higher Power
Replicas
Bumbleebee
Pet Sematary
The Secrets We Keep
GI Joe Origins: Snake Eyes
Infinite
The Plane
Seems to me there are a few clunkers there. Seems to me there are a few really good films on there (Constantine, Red Red 2). I think people are giving the producer way more credit than is deserved. The one constant on the TF movies besides di Bonventura- until Bumblebee, that is- was Michael Bay, who is an "eye candy" director.
"A producer is the person responsible for finding and launching a project; arranging financing; hiring writers, a director, and key members of the creative team; and overseeing all elements of pre-production, production and post-production, right up to release. A film producer is a person who oversees film production. Either employed by a production company or working independently, producers plan and coordinate various aspects of film production, such as selecting the script; coordinating writing, directing, editing; and arranging financing. "
I think the key words in there are "plan and coordinate". Do they have a say? probably. Do they have FINAL say? Probably not. Is there some responsibility? Yes. Is it all on him? No. Like I said, both Red and Red 2 were good movies. I enjoyed Constantine a lot and thought it was underrated. Do I give him credit? Partially. Do I give him more credit than the director and editors and writers? No. He HIRED them. Then they did their thing.
I think everyone is overreacting. Like it was pointed out recently, the Bumblebee movie was one of his productions and it was a thoroughly enjoyable, fun, movie, and well-regarded by the fandom. So, I suggest everyone pump the brakes a bit and wait to see what the new directors (and Hasbro) can come up with for further Transformers movies before stringing him up in a noose.

.........Was this suppose to change my opinion, because my post wasn't meant to change yours or anyone else's. So support him as much as you want. For me I'm sure I'll be busy watching paint dry when this next project releases.

She did eventually give us the very best Star wars we have ever gotten since the originals. It just took 4 years.

I hope ur not talking about the Mandalorian, which is the only decent thing Disney has ever done as "Star Wars". She had virtually nothing to do with it creatively, that is why it is decent.
