Bay: 'I may still do Transformers 3'

Michael Bay has admitted that he may still direct a third instalment of the Transformers film series.

The director previously said that he had "had enough of the Transformers world" and that he wanted to make a movie "without any explosions".

However, according to Cinematical, the helmer may reconsider his position after distancing himself from the blockbuster franchise for awhile.

"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," he told The Wall Street Journal. "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."

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

Earlier this week, Bay refuted claims made by Megan Fox that Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen did not provide her with many acting opportunities.
