Michael Bay chats Friday The 13th

We all know that Michael Bay has been ultra-secretive when it comes to anything related to Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen. And even when it comes to chatting with Entertainment Weekly about the movie, he’s refused to give up much beyond the fact that he pushed the writers to make it as big as possible and to avoid the trap of trying to tie the second film of a mega-franchise into a third and making it less of a movie in the process.

But he was a lot more open about the remake of Friday The 13th he’s producing, including promising that we “won’t believe the first 12 minutes. It’s a twist in itself.” If that had your stomach making worried grumbly noises, then you might not want to click on the link for more. Everyone else, enjoy….
