Transformers 4 AND 5 shooting back to back..Shia and Michael Bay not involved? There is hope!

The rumours for the Transformers series have been kicking around for awhile. Who is in? Who is out? Who do we not want? (I'm looking at both you Micheal Bay and your buddy Shia LaBeouf).

The good folks at Empire have recently reported that indeed Paramount Pictures will be bringing us more in the much-maligned, yet still potentially awesome Transformers Franchise. Seems that they will be going the Matrix route and shooting both Transformers 4 AND 5 back to back.

Here is the best news of all.

Michael Bay went on his blog to let the world know that he is not going to be involved with the movies. Furthermore, it seems that Shia LaBeouf has officially indicated that he is out.

THANK GOD for both pieces of news.

And a nice little nugget to leave you with. There is a rumour swirling around that Jason Statham is the next guy.

Let that be true and have Neill Blomkamp as its' director and I am all the way in.

Now excuse me while I give a sacrifice to the movie-making gods to make this happen.
