Michael Bay Wants to Stall Transformers 3

Can Bay make a 'small' movie? Well...he wants too.

According to MTV News, "He’s known for making the biggest movies in the world, awesome spectacles of big-budget, bombast, and blown-up stuff. Now, Michael Bay wants to take a break between 'Transformers' sequels to make – a small, personal film?

'I would like to take a year off,' Bay explained to us recently, tempering expectations of a 'Transformers 3' production by saying he wants to get away from outer-space robots and focus on humans for a while. 'I might do a small movie in-between.'

So one has to wonder: Can there be such a thing as a 'small' Michael Bay film?

'There can be,' laughed the filmmaker. 'I have a small little movie I keep wanting to do.'

Although Bay wouldn’t cough up details on the film’s plot and said it is currently untitled, he is making plans to film it next year for a small budget, and has had his eye on the script for some time. 'It’s good,' he explained. 'It’s like a ‘Pulp Fiction’-type of movie.'

“'It’s based on] a true story, and it’s very funny,' Bay added, citing another departure from his typical, action-oriented intensity. 'It’s a dark comedy.'”

Bay, known for his blockbuster movies "The Rock," "Pearl Harbor" and "Armageddon," making a small dark comedy can work if we all give the guy a chance. Let him take a break and see if he can make something different. Maybe the man is maturing in a sort of film making way.
