Bit of an update on what's going on in Michael Bay-ville.....

Michael has hired Steve Jablonsky to do the music for "The Island", his latest picture, which stars Ewan McGregor.
Kevin Daniels from Ladder 49 is the latest person to be cast in "The Island".
Bay and Doug Cook are writing "The Rock II", which has been in the idea-stage for the good part of five years. Plan is to still have it reuniting Connery/Cage.
Early 2006, begins working on ?a prequel to "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" in Tx.
And the "Superman" rumor? Never ever a possibility. "I don't know where that came from, probably the Josh Hartnett link", says my contact.

In addition, Michael has done a great interview for creativemac. check it out here. lots of info on "The Island"

The Rock 2 is a wonderful idea.  Independent films with intriguing storylines and plots don't deserve one cent of the colossal pile of millions that it will cost to shoot the Rock 2; which will ultimately about two guys coming out of retirement to pull off one last crazy must-do job so that they can finally ride off into the sunset as friends with their reputations intact and lots of expensive cars blown-up.  At least of course if and when the movie comes out thats the story we'll all think we saw because, having been edited so poorly, most of us won't remember shit about it.

On the comentary for The Rock, Bay said that the idea is that the government goes after Cages' character because he got hold of that microfilm and so he teams up with Connery again and go on the run. Alkatraz will probably be incorporated somehow aswell.
