Just When We Needed Them Most, Sydney Sweeney and Michael Bay Are Swooping in To Save the Big, Bold, Ridiculous Action Movie With ‘Outrun’
Michael Bay, like it or not, is an auteur and has historically made the types of films that Hollywood and theaters need more of.
During the promotion of his new documentary at the SXSW film festival, Michael Bayadmitted to having trouble finding a new project. There was a period of time in which Bay was viewed as the epitome of what the worst of blockbuster filmmaking had to offer, as critics were particularly scathing in their assessment of the Transformersfilm. However, Bay is also a filmmaker who propped up the theatrical business by creating massive global hits, which employed thousands of VFX artists and crew members; although there has been more public interest in budgets than ever before, Bay made films in which the money was undeniably on the screen. In an era where the dominance of streaming has put the theatrical market in danger, Bay is the savior that Hollywood needs and deserves a comeback.
