Bay: 'I've had enough of Transformers world'

Rex Features

Michael Bay has reportedly revealed that he does not plan to return for Transformers 3.

Paramount and DreamWorks greenlit a third cinematic outing for the Autobots and Decepticons in March, giving the film a July 1, 2011 release date.

A proposed sequel is now in development, but the director of the first two instalments has "had enough of the Transformers world", Total Film reports.

He said: "It's easy to go shoot an art movie in a winery in the South of France. But people have no idea how hard it is to create something like Transformers.

"After the three-and-a-half years I've spent making these movies, I feel like I've had enough of the Transformers world."

He added: "I need to do something totally divergent, something without any explosions."

Bay will next serve as producer on the Nightmare On Elm Street remake.

Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen, starring Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox, opens in cinemas on June 24.
