Transformers One Director Moves on From the Franchise to Direct "I Eat Poop"

Motto: "'till All Are One"
The Annecy film festival is happening right now in France. This is the biggest yearly event for animated films and it's where audiences first saw the Transformers One film. Well, as it turns out we have some news about one of the film's allums. While there was no indication given by Paramount that there would be a sequel to Transformers One, they announced a new film called "I Eat Poop" instead which will be Josh Cooley's next directing project. That means that any plan he may have had for a sequel to Transformers One would not involve him directing it. At least not in the near future, since he will now be busy with a new project.
The I Eat Poop film will be produced by Ryan Reynolds. The story was first reported by Deadline.

Seriously? That's too bad. He did a really good job with the movie. Is a sequel still happening without him?

It could, but the bigger issue is that this is the evebt where Paramount anounces what animated projects are in the works and they talked about this I eat Poop film among others, but not a Transformers One sequel. So right now, it’s not in the works.

Well that's a bummer. Was it ever officially confirmed which continuity TFOne was the prequel for?

It was meant to be a general catch all prequel to the franchise as a whole.

Paramount has No Interest for a Sequel to Transformers One

Postby william-james88 » Sat Jun 14, 2025 8:38 pm

Motto: "'till All Are One"
We had reported months ago that there were no plans for a Transformers One sequel over at Paramount, as said on a podcast by the film's art director. While we were asked to tone down the rhetoric, it has now been publicly confirmed by the film's director that there is no plan for a sequel to the film. Josh Cooley, who directed the film, was in a Q&A this weekend at Botcon and spoke on the subject.@disclaimeryikes, among others on Twitter, are reporting that he said Paramount has no interest in a Transformers One Sequel.

So there you have it; it was all but confirmed in yesterday's news of Cooley moving on and Paramount focusing on other animated films instead, but now we have an official confirmation. While a sequel would have been great, the film was initially made as a stand alone film, acting as an all purpose prequel to the franchise in general, and will live on as such.

Sucks, but sadly not shocking. The film was awesome, but it bombed hard. Blame a combination of bad marketing (they made this look like a comedy in the trailers and commercials) and a bunch of terrible prior movies ruining public interest in the franchise (I'd say only one of the prior FOUR Transformers films was actually good), but it never had a chance.

Pretty much this. The franchise needs to take a break because the mainstream audience isn't interested

Probably to no one's surprise at this point.

I liked the movie a quite a bit (likely #3 or 4 of all the TF movies incl. '86), but I was very meh on the characters' designs and I haven't bought a single one TFO figure (even though I'm tempted to get a few SS figures, but I just can't get into their smaller size for their traditionally large characters like OP, Megs & Sentinel Prime) and I remember thinking "THIS need the $75 million ILM budget for?" throughout the watch.

Yeah terrible marketing is a factor, but I have a feeling that The Wild Robot have more to do to TFO's failure. I know if I'm not a TF fan and I have to choose, I'd go for TWR the weeks these 2 movies are in theatre at the same time, even for rewatches.

Maybe if certain parts of the fan base got out of their echo chambers and supported the film instead of resharing the same clips again and again and repeating their dried out hate towards the Bayverse or other continuities, then a sequel would have been possible. They could have also easily helped move toy sales instead of dancing over the Rotten Tomatoes score being positive but what do I know.

Also, the fact that people are radio silent on what Cooley is directing next after making fun of the idea that Bay was going to direct a Skibidi Toilet movie until it turned out he wasn't is too funny in some ways. Though that being said, I don't care about either a movie based on a weird Gmod series as much as I do a movie on someone eating literal crap.

I would've expected Bayhaters to be proponents of this movie.

I'll always blame the marketing on this. I really had no plans to see it because the trailers made it look like an extra long episode of a Y7 show.

My son was actually the reason why I did see it. Our whole family loved it.
