After rumors began floating out of the New York Toy Fair, Michael Bay took to his official site to confirm the reports that he would return to direct a fourth installment in the ‘Transformers’ franchise.
As the actors of ‘Transformers: Dark of the Moon’ make the talk-show circuit, accounts of Michael Bay’s legendary temper are starting to pile up. On Wednesday night’s episode of the ‘Late Show,’ Patrick Dempsey shared his own story involving a run-in with the director.
