"Transformer 5: Age of Extinction" is already in development and it has been revealed that Michael Bay is working hard to helm the project. After much speculation that director Bay had abandoned the franchise, Mark Wahlberg confirmed that the director is still on board.
The writing team of the movie had been working hard initially to ensure everything runs smoothly so that Bay can release the sequel as soon as he completes his other work "Benghazi."
Recently, a "13 Hours: The Soldiers of Benghazi" trailer was released indicating that the director is now ready for "Transformer 5." In an interview, one of the writers teased that the team had prepared the storyline for the next film. It appears like things will move into action soon as Bay goes into the innovative process.
Talking to IGN, "Transformer 5: Age of Extinction" writer Steve DeKnight revealed that he had completed the initial stage of the creative process. He said, "I cannot reveal what we plotted out, but it was all very fascinating and in the next few months we will what progresses and what shouldn't."
Wahlberg on his part said that he did not know much concerning the development of the movie but hinted that the director is very much on board amid the rumors that he was ditching the product that had been twirled around.
The writing team of the movie and its developments has been expanding and the producers have outlined some details. The writing team will be under the leadership of Akiva Goldsman and features Zak Penn of "Incredible Hulk", Christina Hodson of "The Fugitive," Jeff Pinker of "Lost," Lindsey Beer of "Dig," Gabriel Ferrari and Art Marcum of "Iron Man," and Robert Kirkman of "The Walking Dead," among others.
Bay will work closely with Goldsman and other writers to ensure the movie is released by 2017. Writers will be tasked with brainstorming for new ideas to be incorporated in the fifth installment and other development, Deadline reported.
The "Transformer 5: Age of Extinction" director's next work is a film based on the book "Thirteen Hours: A Firsthand Account of What Really Happened in Benghazi" by Mitchell Zuckoff.
