The deal will include Bay’s next film, the action thriller feature Black Five which is based on his original idea. He will be directing the film. Story details are being kept under wraps but the street believes the flick centers on an elite military team.
Ehren Kruger, who previously worked with Bay on the second through fourth Transformers, is writing the screenplay. Bay most recently directed Six Underground for Netflix and previously worked with Sony on the Bad Boys franchise.
