Known for his blunt speak on the set, the filmmaker gives a glimpse of the trait as he calls out major film studios for not making brave choices any longer. "Studio firms are making less original content. Netflix wants to do original content and not [cash in on] sequels of franchises."
Michael Bay
Hollywood has been largely divided ever since auteur Martin Scorsese opined that superhero films were "theme-park experiences" and could hardly be counted as cinema. For a filmmaker who hit the big league, courtesy his larger-than-life heroes aka Transformers, Bay naturally doesn't share the view. Weighing in on the debate, he argues, "I love Marty's movies. [But] there are always new movies coming up. They might not be his cup of tea; that's okay. But I would not kill a whole [genre] just because it's not someone's cup of tea."
