Paramount Pictures announced that it will release Transformers only in HD-DVD format, and not Sony’s Blu-Ray format. Thats when Micheal Bay e-x-p-l-o-d-e-d, with flames flying thro his nose, he declared that he will not direct the Transformer’s sequel, in a forum post in his personal website.
"I want people to see my movies in the best formats possible. For them to deny people who have Blu-ray sucks! They were progressive by having two formats. No Transformers 2 for me!
Bay"
Bay was hailed as a hero for standing up to the Paramount Juggernaut – his David v/s Goliath struggle was digged 2000+ times.
Then, it happened – Black Suits donning dark Black glasses, descended from a hovering Black Helicopter on to his roof – dragged him to the balcony, set his toaster and toothbrush on fire (both exploding spectacularly) - and offered him a black suitcase with undisclosed contents.
Next morning, he woke up and posted:
err… I was….ummm…. this is awkward - "I think I might be back on to do Transformers 2!"
And they named the sequel after him – The Transformer too
$$ speaks louder than ideals.
