"Transformers" fans sure have a reason to rejoice as the science fiction film is far from its farewell movie, about 10 years away, in fact, variety.com reports.
Hasbro, an American multinational toy and board game company behind the "Transformers" toy line where the franchise was based, through its chief Steven J. Davis confirmed this news himself during a Q&A at Mipcom revealing that "Transformers" 5, 6, 7, and 8 are already in the works.
"We just finished, as some of you may have read, just an incredible experience," he said. "We decided that we wanted to plot out the next 10 years of the 'Transformers' franchise, so we got together in a room over a three-month period of time."
"Nine of some of the most creative writers I have ever worked with, shepherded by Akiva Goldsman, who many of you may know won an Academy Award for 'A Beautiful Mind' and written a bunch of great movies," he went on. "And they plotted out the next 10 years of 'Transformers.' Similarly, we are doing the same in television and in digital. So stay tuned, Transformers 5 is on its way, and 6 and 7 and 8."
This is also held true by Paramount, the studio behind the "Transformers" movies. Goldsman is reported to be heading the writers room as the franchise expands with sequels and spinoffs with the "Transformers 5" sequel already been confirmed.
Goldsman will not be alone inside the "Transformers" writers room as he will be be joined by other TV and film notables: "Black Hawk Down" scribe Ken Nolan, Christina Hodson and Lindsey Beer, Andrew Barrer & Gabriel Ferrari, "Walking Dead" creator Robert Kirkman, "Iron Man" scribes Art Marcum & Matt Holloway, Zak Penn, "Amazing Spider-Man 2's" Jeff Pinkner, "Daredevil" showrunner Steven DeKnight and Geneva Robertson-Dworet.
There is no news as to who would be taking the director's chair for the upcoming "Transformers" sequel and Michael Bay is seemingly not among possible bets based on the statements he made last month on his Twitter account saying that he has "not committed to any idea as of yet."
Bay was behind the 4th series installation "Transformers: Age of Extinction" starring Mark Wahlberg, Jack Reynor and Nicola Peltz. It was the first "Transformers" movie missing Shia LeBeouf and it grossed a whopping box office earning of more than $1 billion worldwide.
