Steven Spielberg Officially on Board To Lead New 'Transformers' Movie

Translate

Chris is a Senior News Writer for Collider. He can be found in an IMAX screen, with his eyes watering and his ears bleeding for his own pleasure. He joined the news team in 2022 and accidentally fell upwards into a senior position despite his best efforts.

For reasons unknown, he enjoys analyzing box office receipts, giant sharks, and has become known as the go-to man for all things Bosch, Mission: Impossible and Christopher Nolan in Collider's news division. Recently, he found himself yeehawing along to the Dutton saga on the Yellowstone Ranch. 

He is proficient in sarcasm, wit, Photoshop and working unfeasibly long hours. Amongst his passions sit the likes of the history of the Walt Disney Company, the construction of theme parks, steam trains and binge-watching Gilmore Girls with a coffee that is just hot enough to scald him.

His obsession with the Apple TV+ series Silo is the subject of mockery within the Senior News channel, where his feelings about Taylor Sheridan's work are enough to make his fellow writers roll their eyes.

Before Optimus Prime and Megatron started flattening entire cities every few years, Steven Spielberg was one of the people who helped get Transformers onto the big screen in the first place. He has remained involved with the franchise ever since, but its next chapter is bringing him back alongside the man who turned giant robots beating seven shades out of each other into a multi-billion-dollar business.

Spielberg is officially on board to executive produce a new live-action Transformers movie, according to Deadline, with Michael Bay returning to direct. Bay is also producing alongside Spielberg, marking the filmmaker's first time behind the camera on the franchise since 2017's Transformers: The Last Knight.
