Q: What is Michael Bay's next movie?
A: At this time Michael has finished principal photography
on Transformes 2: Revenge of the Fallen and is in the
process of post-production. TF2 is scheduled to be in
theaters June 26, 2009.
Q: Where can I purchase Michael's student films "My
Brother Benjamin," and the "Coca Cola spec commercial", or
music videos?
A: Unfortunately, Michael's short films are owned
exclusively by Michael and unless he decides to release
them, there is no way to obtain them. Keep your fingers
crossed that he will change his mind and maybe release them
some time in the future. As for the music videos, the
artists are on different labels so the creating an official
collection would be extremely difficult.
Q: Is Michael Bay online?
A: Yes he is. He surfs the Internet, reads and post on the
forums, and sends and receives e-mail like everyone does.
Q: Can I have Michael's e-mail, address or phone
number?
A: No. Posting his personal contact info would be quite
irresponsible, and would disrupt his privacy.
Q: Who is Nelson?
A: Nelson is the webmaster who maintians this site.
Q: Is there any way you can forward an idea,
scripts, or video tapes to Michael?
A: Not through this site. We cannot accept unsolicited
material (e.g. scripts, presents, videos, reels, etc.)
intend to be received by or for Michael. And we CANNOT
direct it to him or his production company. It is
unsolicited material and legally we cannot accept it (much
less send it to Michael). So, if you send something, the
webmaster will simply delete it.
Q: So is there any other way I can send Michael a
script?
A: Yes and no. What you first have to do is get the script
to where it is "worthy of someone else reading it" and then
begin the long, hard search for representation (in other
words: getting an agent). Then your agent will send it to
the person you request. You also have to register your
script with the WGA and/or the U.S. Copyright Office.
Q: What is that scope/lens that Michael Bay looks
through when he preps for a shot?
A: It’s a Mark VB Director's Viewfinder which he uses to
frame a shot within the aspect ratio and focal length he
wants to use. You can see Bay’s customized
viewfinder (Panavision printed the movies he’s
worked on the viewfinder). You can also buy the Mark VB Director's
Viewfinder at FilmTool.com.
Q: What cars does Michael drive?
A: He currently drives a Porsche GT3, and a Ferrari 360
Spider. Gracie and Bonecrusher drive an Escalade.
Q: Is it true that Michael's biological father is a
Hollywood director? Who is it?
A: While this issue is none of our business, I'll answer
this question in Michael's own words: "You can probably
hurt a lot of people by saying [who it is]."
Q: Where does Michael live?
A: He lives in Los Angeles, California.
