Michael Bay To Direct Movie About Dramatic Us Pilot Rescue In Iran

Michael Bay ("Pearl Harbor", "Transformers", "13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi") is set to reteam with Universal Pictures for a new true story military movie about the recent "Operation Epic Fury" rescue in Iran. In April, a rescue mission took place to save two pilots after their F-15E Strike Eagle was struck down by Iranian forces. "Operation Epic Fury" is the codename given to the military campaign against Iran that President Trump started in February 2026.

Bay will reunite with "13 Hours" screenwriter Scott Gardenhour and producer Erwin Stoff. Bay and Stoff will produce the film, while Gardenhour is adapting the script from Mitchell Zuckoff's upcoming book about the incident, which is set to be published by HarperCollins in 2027. Bay most recently directed "Ambulance" for Universal and has a production deal with the studio.

The rescue operation ended with the daring recovery of the pilot as well as the weapons system officer from hostile forces behind enemy lines. The mission made global headlines and caught Bay's eye as he was deciding on what his next directorial project will be.

Bay said the following about the project: "I've had an amazing partnership over my 30-year career working with the Department of War and amazing U.S. military members. In my film 13 Hours, no rescue force answered the call for help. This film is about everyone who answered the call in one of the most complex, intricate and high-stakes operations in recent history. It celebrates the true heroism and unwavering dedication of our service members".

Shredded Horror Movie From Quiet Place Purge Producers

Logical Pictures Group and Protagonist Pictures have announced that they will begin international sales at the upcoming European Film Market on "Shredded", a bold, high-concept horror feature produced by Platinum Dunes, the company behind "A Quiet Place" and "The Purge" franchises. Protagonist will co-rep international rights with newly launched Logical Pictures International (LPI), and UTA Independent Film Group will represent North American rights. Logical Pictures Group provides full financing for the film as well.

The film has been described as a "viscerally entertaining crowd-pleaser" that "fuses relentless suspense with viciously sharp commentary, delivering nonstop chills and an unflinching look at the darker side of modern fitness culture and self-obsession". Written and directed by Academy Award nominee Josh Lawson ("The Eleven O'Clock", "The Little Death", "Long Story Short"), the film is a propulsive thrill ride that pushes toxic gym culture to terrifying extremes - an electric descent into diabolical mayhem where brains prove far more valuable than brawn.

The story follows Eileen, who is reeling from a breakup and signs up for an intense gym class run by a charismatic but deranged coach. When she quits the program, he abducts her and imprisons her in his sadistic training compound, forcing her — and other captives — through punishing, often lethal workouts. As the physical toll mounts, Eileen must outwit the coach's vicious regimen and turn his obsession with control and perfection against him before it's too late.

The film is produced by Michael Bay, Brad Fuller and Alex Ginno for Platinum Dunes, and Jeff Golenberg for Strand Entertainment. Executive Producers include Frédéric Fiore, Ryan Wickers and Andrei Kamarowsky for Logical Pictures Group, alongside Dave Bishop, James Pugh and George Hamilton for Protagonist Pictures, and Troy Lum.

Platinum Dunes said in a statement: "Josh has crafted a deeply personal story that brings the horror directly into the audience's lives. He's the kind of filmmaker Platinum Dunes is built around – a writer/director with a clear point of view and a sharp instinct for delivering a twisted, crowd-pleasing ride. After Shredded, audiences won’t look at gym equipment — or those wall-length mirrors — the same way again. We're beyond excited to support him in bringing it to life with Protagonist and Logical as partners."

Andrei Kamarowsky, Head of International at Logical Pictures Group, added: "Platinum Dunes has an extraordinary track record of creating iconic horror, and we're thrilled to be joining Shredded and collaborating with our partners at Protagonist on this exciting new project".

Protagonist Pictures' CEO Dave Bishop said: "Shredded is a high concept horror as brutal and unapologetically intense as the ultimate workout from hell. We're thrilled to be partnering with Platinum Dunes on this bold and timely white-knuckle ride. Tapping directly into contemporary anxieties around control, self-obsession and self-improvement, Shredded is set to put worldwide theatrical audiences through their paces".

Michael Bay and Sydney Sweeney Join Forces On OUTRUN Video Game Adaptation
Video game adaptations are currently on a roll with "A Minecraft Movie" and "The Last of Us" dominating headlines, so here's another one, although one that feels a little bit like scraping the bottom of the barrel. It has been reported that Universal is looking to adapt the iconic Sega arcade video game "OutRun" with Michael Bay attached to direct and Sydney Sweeney set to produce. Sweeney doesn't seem to be starring in it, but perhaps official casting announcements will be made further down the line.

The script will be penned by Jayson Rothwell ("Polar", "Malice in Wonderland"), but plot details are unknonw at this point. Sega's "OutRun" pioneered a genre of arcade driving games and spawned the "outrun" electronic music subgenre that focuses on synthesizers and 1980's themes. The franchise has spawned numerous installments, including home console versions, and it continues to be one of Sega's flagship series.

Bay will produce alongside partner Brad Fuller through their Platinum Dunes banner, which has a first-look deal with the studio. Toru Nakahara ("Sonic the Hedgehog" 1-3, "Knuckles", "Golden Axe") will also produce for Sega and Shuji Utsumi (president/COO of SEGA Corp.) will oversee the project on behalf of Sega.

Sweeney can next be seen in the upcoming Christy Martin biopic, which she also produces.

"Transformers: The Last Knight" is the fifth installment in the long-running partnership between Paramount and Hasbro. Michael Bay once again directs, but he has announced that this will be his last film in the franchise he directs. Mark Wahlberg also returns as Cade Yeager from "Age of Extinction" and he is joined by franchise veterans Josh Duhamel and John Turturro, and newcomers Laura Haddock, Isabela Moner, Jerrod Carmichael and Anthony Hopkins.

The voice cast includes Peter Cullen, Erik Aadahl, Ken Watanabe, Omar Sy, Jim Carter, John Goodman, Steve Buscemi, Frank Welker, Reno Wilson, John DiMaggio and Mark Ryan.

"Transformers: The Last Knight" opened in theaters on June 21st, 2017 and was universally panned by critics. The complaints regarded the usual suspects found in most Bay movies: brash mix of action and comedy, chaotic editing, confusing plot, the objectification of women and machismo. The visual-effects, however, were well-regarded.

The film is also having trouble at the box-office, grossing an all-time franchise low of $15.7 million on its first day, which lowers initial projections of a $70-75 million opening weekend down to $60-65 million.
