Directing a movie that has rolled up over $706 million in worldwide grosses can leave a guy feeling festive on New Year’s Eve — as Michael Bay‘s fans found out when they visited his official site in the waning moments of 2007.
In a post titled “Happy New Year,” Bay thanked his webmaster, wished “EVERYONE” — presumably even the critics who sniffed at Transformers, sending it to 57 percent on the Tomatometer — a happy New Year, and shared the tiniest of tidbits about the forthcoming Transformers 2. To wit:
For the millions of viewers that logged on this year I want to thank you for the support. Transformers 2 will be coming soon. The new robots are really really unique and there are a lot of them this time.
Okay, so “soon” is a relative term — the sequel is actually on target for a June 26, 2009 release — but let’s take Bay at his word anyway. A lot of really, really unique robots are headed your way, blockbuster fans, and we’ve got plenty of time to speculate about which ones Bay’s talking about. Let’s get started!
