Development

Michael Bay announced that the film will be his last Transformers film.

In March 2015, Deadline.com reported that Paramount Pictures was in talks with Oscar winner Akiva Goldsman (A Beautiful Mind) to pitch new ideas for the Transformers franchise's future installments. The studio intends to do what James Cameron and 20th Century Fox had been doing to spawn three new Avatar sequels and what Disney is doing to revive Star Wars with sequels and spin-offs and to have their own cinematic universe for Transformers similar to Marvel's Marvel Cinematic Universe and Warner Bros.' DC Extended Universe.[11] Goldsman will be the head of the future projects and will work with franchise director Michael Bay, executive producer Steven Spielberg and producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura to organize a "writer's room" that would incubate ideas for potential Transformers sequels, prequels and spin-offs.[11] The writer's room members includes Christina Hodson, Lindsey Beer, Andrew Barrer and Gabriel Ferrari, (Ant-Man), Robert Kirkman (The Walking Dead), Art Marcum & Matt Holloway, Zak Penn (Pacific Rim 2), Jeff Pinkner (The Amazing Spider-Man 2), Ken Nolan and Geneva Robertson-Dworet.[11] Kirkman however left the room just after one day of presence due to a throat surgery.[12] In July 2015, Akiva Goldsman & Jeff Pinkner were announced to write the script for the film.[13] However, on November 20, due to Goldsman's commitments on creating a writer's room for G.I. Joe and Micronauts properties, Paramount began to negotiate with Art Marcum and Matt Holloway (Iron Man) as well as Ken Nolan (Black Hawk Down), to write the film.[14]

After Transformers: Age of Extinction, Bay decided not to direct any other future Transformers films but in early January 2016, in an interview with Rolling Stone he confirmed that he would return to direct the fifth film and that it would be his last Transformers film.[15] Paramount Pictures will spend $80 million for production in Michigan of which Paramount will receive $21 million of state incentives for filming in the state, under agreements entered into before the state legislature eliminated the film office incentive program in July 2015.[16] In April 2016, Paramount hired cinematographer Jonathan Sela.[17] On May 17, Bay revealed the official title of the film to be The Last Knight on his Instagram account, along with a production video showing a close-up of what is presumably Optimus Prime's face, with him having purple eyes instead of blue and his face mostly discolored.[18] The official Twitter account shows a 19-second short video in morse code saying "I’M COMING FOR YOU MAY 31".[19] On May 31, 2016, It was revealed that Megatron will be returning for the sequel.[9] Voice actor Peter Cullen has high hopes that The Last Knight and its sequel will go back to more of their original roots.[20] Bumblebee's new Camaro design was revealed on June 4th.[21] ME MUM CARS
