Director Michael Bay is now better know for spearhead theTransformersmovie franchise and turn it into a four - billion - dollar sign serial . But despite these box position hits , not everybody love the enfranchisement , and while doing press junket for his new flick , Ambulance , the director revealed that it was actuallySteven Spielberg who narrate Bay to stopmaking them .
It ’s thanks to Spielberg that Bay made much more interesting film like6 UndergroundandAmbulance . But Bay still did a keen job of create a giant movie serial , and other franchises in dreaded straits could use his services . He might not be the most beloved music director in the world , few filmmakers are as good at working on a huge scale , and these franchises would be much good if Bay was behind the tv camera .
G.I. Joe
TheG.I. Joemovie franchise has struggled to get off the ground several times at this point . DespiteRise of the Cobramassively underperforming , Paramount Pictures still greenlit a sequel . But even with Dwayne Johnson and Bruce Willis being introduce into the series , Retaliationstill fail to feel the audience Paramount was looking for . And most late , Snake Eyesfailed to even make back one-half of its budget .
If anybody know how to turn a movie franchise based on toys into a successful , billion - buck - grossing series , it ’s Bay . One of the big problem of theG.I. Joemovies is how disjunct and confine the activity is , often relying too to a great extent on wobbly - cam . But Bay is n’t afraid to woolgather bigger , and he could put in those declamatory - scale military action sequences and set pieces into a Zea mays everta make that the serial so desperately want .
Underworld
TheUnderworldseries is a little dark than what typical Bay fare , but fans often forget that the firstBad Boyswas in reality very dingy in flavour . And the gothic clubhouse that was the setting for a typical Bay shoot - out is exactly the esthetical that the firstUnderworldmovie had .
On top of that , theUnderworldmovies got more action - orientedwith each sequent passing , and that was also its downfall , so an activity - focalize director is what the sequel need more than anything . AsUnderworldand its continuation exclusively take place at night , it ’d be hard to get the shot of chopper flying in front of the sundown that Bay loves so much . But that ’s a small price to pay for a sexy , blood - sucking activity picture show that would see the director at his best .
Men In Black
In its current mannikin , Men in Blackhas very much lean its course of study , and many would argue that there has n’t been a unspoiled motion-picture show in the franchise ever since the original in 1997 . And the funniest thing in the latestMen in Black : Internationalis a reference to a whole other enfranchisement , as Chris Hemsworth ’s character maintain a hammer , just like he does as Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe .
TheMIBfranchise has never taken itself too earnestly , and it ’s a double-dyed balance of comedy and natural action , just like Bay ’s best movies . free-base on the wayInternationalattempted to make the series feel more like a superhero - like blockbuster , Bay could bring it back to its roots and make the bestMIBmovie since the first one .
Predator
ThoughPredator 2is anoverlooked horror sequel that merit a 2nd prospect , the franchise has gone from one bankruptcy to another . Whether it’sPredator vs. Alienor the most recently releasedThe Predator , fans of the series have been disappointed too many times .
LikeUnderworld , aPredatormovie might not right away jump out as an entry that would match in with the ease of Bay ’s filmography . But the original motion picture in the serial is so action at law - compact , helicopter - sate , and soaked in bluster and machoism , and nobody does those thing good than Bay . However , there ’s anotherPredatormovie on the horizon , Prey , which seems like it could be a clean showtime for the series . The film is a prequel , set in the 1700s , and directed by Dan Trachtenberg , who helmed10 Cloverfield Lane .
Pirates Of The Caribbean
Pirates of the Caribbeanhas not one buttwo new movies in development , both of which are reboots and will asterisk Margot Robbie . And though it ’s unlikely that either one of them will be direct by Bay , there ’s nothing more exciting than think a pirate - theme action movie from the director .
ThePiratesseries often got bogged down in its convoluted lore , and while most of the motion-picture show in the enfranchisement had great premises , Bay could strip all of the unneeded exposition and mussy subplots . The film could simply be two hours of Jack Sparrow run around and Bay could make it entertaining . And the filmmaker would have a orbit day create huge explosions with the cannons on the Navy ship .
The Terminator
Though someTerminatorfans would be critical of Bay taking over the series , as he ’s known for dumbing down plots , the sci - fi serial has been on a down spiraling sinceTerminator 3 : Rise of the Machines . The most late movie , Dark Fate , might be the bestTerminatormovie sinceTerminator 2 : Judgement Day , but that does n’t mean much .
Bay is clear a big devotee ofJudgement Day , as the 2nd movie in the franchise is famous for its epic chase scene on the L.A. River , and precisely that can be ground in the director ’s new movie , Ambulance . The first twoTerminatormovies are unbelievable sci - fi action blockbusters , and that ’s something Bay knows how to direct well than most .
James Bond
There ’s a possibility thatThe Rockis aJames Bondmovie , as Sean Connery stars in the former as John Mason . John Mason is a bastard identity , the theatrical role is a former British Intelligence agent , and he never break his genuine identity , so it could be that Bay has already in secret direct a shackle flick .
And it just goes to show that the director could have made the undercover agent dealership well in the 1990s , asThe Rockis good than any007movie from that era . Now Daniel Craig ’s Bond epoch has come to an ending , Bay could take the dealership back into a more light-hearted and play management after the dour and serious last few films .
The Mummy
While 1999’sThe Mummyis a merriment , campy adventure moving picture , the kind they do n’t make anymore , andThe Mummy Returnsis something of a guilty delight , the serial publication has had far from the best flight . The Scorpion Kingand the long - forget threequel are the worst centering the franchise could have go in , and the Tom Cruise - asterisk reboot was the final nail in the coffin .
Universal empty the Dark Universebefore it even get off the ground , as the 2017 reboot was plan to be the offset of a cinematic universe that included Frankenstein ’s Monster , the Wolfman , and others . If the reboot was in the hands of Michael Bay , it would have been a supernatural action epic , and it would have had three more moving-picture show in the franchise by now .
Ghost Rider
It comes as a huge surprise that Nicolas Cage and Bay have only get together once , as the theatrical and over - the - top histrion and the large theatre director seem made for each other . Cage even went on to star in movies likeCon Air , which were clear tempt by Bay . And in 2007 , coop star inGhost Rider , which is about a biker who turns into a flaming skeletal system .
Fans of the funny book source material thought the film and its continuation left a lot to be desire , to say the least . But Cage course acting uncaged is the one great takeaway from the series , and Bay and the actor could reunite for a subdued reboot . Though the likelihood of that bechance is scurvy , fans might get to see Cage as Johnny Blaze one more time . There ’s a rumor thatCage will cameo inDoctor Strange 2 .
Fast And Furious
There are already strand of Bay ’s deoxyribonucleic acid in theFast and Furiousfranchise , whether it ’s the machoism of the first movie , the barely - clad Miami residents of2 Fast 2 Furious , or the epic set piece ofFast and Furious 6 . And though Justin Lin turned the series into the mellow - octane blockbuster franchise it is today , his piece of work onF9led to the series ' worst review yet .
Even die - hard sports fan of the dealership thought that Han come back to sprightliness and Rome going into blank space was ridiculous . Fast & Furioushit its peak in the eye of its lifetime , when the movies were full of geartrain heists and epic chase sequences , and Bay could bring the series back to that epoch and make the bestFastmovie ever .
