Michael Bay has had a change of heart and it seems that he might direct a third Transformers movie after all.
The filmmaker has reportedly unhappy with Paramount Studios announcing the release date for a third film in the franchise, expected to be in cinemas July 4, 2011.
The filmmaker said that "My brain needs a break from fighting robots" and his involvement in the project looked in doubt.
But with Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen breaking through the $200 million barrier in the U.S. last weekend he may have had a change of heart.
In an interview with The Wall Street Journal he said: "I just want to take some time off. It's been almost three years that I've devoted myself entirely to this world of robots."
"At some point, enough is enough - and I literally carried this movie on my back.
"I don't know who [would] want to take on my shoes with this franchise. We might just take a year down."
The film is currently top of the UK box office.
