E! Online reports things are looking positive on an 'Transformers' follow-up
Paramount and DreamWorks have ramped up development on a sequel to the summer blockbuster that will likely see Michael Bay back at the helm and Steven Spielberg again serving as executive producer, a DreamWorks rep confirmed Thursday.
"Obviously you have a movie that's made as much money as Transformers has, you'd want to do another one," spokesman Marvin Levy told E! Online.The Viacom-owned studios have set a tentative release date for June 26, 2009, but as Levy was quick to caution, the timing depends on when all the principals are signed.
"Things are moving along, but until everyone says, 'Now we have everything; we have the script and everybody tied in,' we can't say it's greenlit yet," Levy added.
