Bay talks TRANSFORMERS 2, FRIDAY THE 13th redo, OUIJA!

Michael Bay spoke to EW about various projects he is either directing or has a heavy hand in producing. On TRANSFORMERS 2 which he is currently filming out on a secret location...
When we were writing the script, I said to the writers, "I hate sequels that try to make it to the third movie. Pretend like we€™re never having a third movie, so let€™s go for broke on the second one. I hate those cliffhangers! Let€™s just make this movie stand on its own." I really feel this movie is not a forced sequel. I think the script is really good, and I think it€™s got a lot of new stuff in it. There are a lot of rumors out there, but we€™ve released a lot of fake stuff. We€™ve done a really good job of keeping things secret.

On the FRIDAY THE 13TH redo...
I haven€™t seen the director's cut because he€™s still cutting, but I know this one will really be scary; it€™s also funny, as well. It€™s a fun college adventure that goes awry. It€™s not a movie I would ever show my mom! (Laughs) We don€™t make these for our mothers; we make these for the fans out there. You€™re just not going to believe the first 12 minutes! It€™s a twist in itself.
On potentially his next directing project after TRANSFORMERS... the horror movie OUIJA...
It€™s something we€™re playing with, yes. I€™m just producing it. As far as being a director, I€™m not sure what I€™m doing next...There€™s a plot that I actually wrote the outline for; we€™re just trying to get the script right.
