Michael Bay May Go On A ‘Ghost Recon’ For His Next Directorial Effort
The Playlist:
, Michael Bay tried to make a small scale movie, delivering the roided out "Pain & Gain" this spring, which did $49 million domestically, but those are hardly the numbers you want with a movie starring Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson. Anyway, with hundreds of millions pretty much guaranteed for "Robot Hot Wheels: The Movie" aka "Transformers 4," it seems Bay is in no hurry to try something intimate (as much as that's possible) again. So how about another potential franchise?
Variety reports that Bay is developing Ubisoft's videogame series "Ghost Recon" with an eye to direct. Just like the Tom Hardy starring "Splinter Cell," this is a Tom Clancy-branded property, also centering on a military ops unit, though in the hands of Bay, he will probably find a way to work in a Victoria's Secret model somehow. But really, it's just a bunch of dudes with cool weapons running around and going on missions — so a simple premise that Bay that can pump up full of his own unique brand of moviemaking.
