According to The Hollywood Reporter, Michael Bay is in talks to direct the DreamWorks/Paramount live-action adaptation of The Transformers, Hasbro's popular 1980s toy line of giant robots that morph into cars, trucks, planes, ships and other technological creations.

The move would reteam the director with DreamWorks, which is handling domestic distribution on the movie. Bay is helming DreamWorks' upcoming summer release "The Island," a co-production with Warner Bros. Pictures. Bay also would reteam with writers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, who -- under their two-year, first-look deal with DreamWorks -- rewrote "Island" and wrote "Transformers."
