Patrick Hughes (The Expendables 3, The Hitman’s Bodyguard, The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard, upcoming The Man From Toronto) is circling back once more for an opp to direct a new take on the 2011 hit Indonesian crime thriller, The Raid.
If there was one movie that appears to actually tap into subjective perceptions of folks keen on criticizing the actual science behind the Covid-19 pandemic, you could rightly enlist Adam Mason’s new film, Songbird. The addition of Michael Bay as toplining producer certainly bodes well to promise this ought to be a heavy-handed and menacing enough thriller for the history books.
Chris Evangelista at Slashfilm has some reservations with the new official poster for Netflix action thriller, 6 Underground. I say it’s way better than the ridiculous Thundercats rumor which still continues to circulate the social medias like terrible memories of an ex that won’t go away – in any case, it’s the lead-off this week along with the newest trailer for the Michael Bay-directed action thriller about a team of rich people out to save the world from something terriblehorriblenogoodandveryverybad… Or something.
Wanna see what a Michael Bay movie looks like on Netflix?
The trades ran pretty light with this one, but once he wraps Six Underground for Netflix, Michael Bay will segue into an early 2020 start for ensemble action drama, Black Five.
I mean it when I say it: Spend your money on Deadpool 2 like nothing else matters.
Also, feast your eyes on this latest prospect signaling courtesy of Skydance Media, announcing a new partnership with Netflix to co-produce and release Six Undergroud. Plot details are nil but the presser highlights it as an original concept from Deadpool scribes Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, in which Ryan Reynolds will star with notable Transformers franchise helmer Michael Bay being tapped to direct.
I’m suddenly reminded all of Bay’s films and the often lingering comedy and quips throughout between breif moments of dialogue and explosions and considering Reynolds’ acumen for deadpan humor, characteristic of his on-pointe delivery as the R-rated merc with a mouth, I’m surprised Reynolds hasn’t starred in a Bay film yet. Welp, I guess that’s about to change and it could be a winning combination too.
Six Underground is reportedly gearing up for a summer start ahead of a 2019 release with Bay, and Skydance’s David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Don Granger producing. It’s the first collaboration between Skydance Media and Netflix for an event level feature film and the first Netflix project for both Bay and Reynolds.
(If it fits the narrative, I can only hope Ryan trolls this film with a Deadpool appearance. That shit would be just lovely forever).
Further casting and crewing on Robopocalypse remains pending among other factors while Bay also plots original project, 6 Underground from Deadpool franchise scribes Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese. Story details are under wraps with Bay joining Skydance’s David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and Don Granger in producing the summer shoot ahead of a 2019 release.
Just short of two years since we last heard on anything pertaining to a Lobo adaptation, trades are now reporting that Michael Bay is being sought after by Warner Bros. to direct the film. Bay, best known for his riduculous, explody and destructive approach to blockbusters since the 90s and to date with all things Transformers at Paramount, will meet once more with Warner Bros. pending script rewrites by Jason Fuchs since his attachment in Spring of 2016.
A big-screen adaptation of the long-running DC property has been in the works since around 2009 while the character itself has already made the rounds in comic books and animated properties. Roger Slifer and Keith Giffen launched the character in 1983, telling of a Czarnian alien bounty hunter and often villian who re-emerged as an anti-hero biker in the 1990s. San Andreas helmer Brad Peyton was last tapped to direct and his since moved on with development on two game adaptations, and a San Andreas sequel.
News of Bay further reportedly indicates a step closer to what would hopefully be their answer to Mavel’s Deadpool.

There are definitely a few films coming in 2017 with notable lead characters appearing to share a similar theme. One of them happens to be The Fate Of The Furious over at Universal Pictures and the other, at Paramount Pictures brings us to Michael Bay’s Transformers: The Last Knight, which now immerses us in a world more desolate and dystopian, riddled and damaged from battle after battle as seen in the first trailer which premiered last week.
And at the center of the carnage lies Optimus Prime who last soared into space to seek out the depth and mystery behind the events of Age Of Extinction back in 2014. A lot more appears to have happened since then and you can see it all in the trailer while the pieces slowly start to come together ahead of the film’s release on June 23, 2017, with actors Mark Wahlberg, Stanley Tucci, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson and John Tuturro starring among the principle cast.
Also starring are Isabelle Moner, Laura Haddock and Sir Anthony Hopkins to round out the human end of the cast where our named Autobot and Decepticons will line-up accordingly, and with the one and only Prime making his presence known with a new threat now lingering over our planet in the backdrop of the film’s newest poster. Take a look below!
