Michael Bay’s fifth and apparently final Transformers movie, Transformers: The Last Knight, is now in theaters. But one sequel that he never made was a follow-up to arguably his most liked film, The Rock. Bay did have an idea for a follow-up, and in conversation with Slashfilm, he’s been talking about where it could go. “The sequel that I have in my mind for this movie is basically after Nic Cage is married to Carla, they drive off,” he explained. “Nic Cage has this microfilm of all this bad government confidential [info], like, who killed JFK? The government comes after Nic Cage with a vengeance. We’re talking out to kill. It turns into more of a thriller. Nic Cage has nowhere to turn, because he’s been stabbed in the back by the government, and they’re after him. Maybe he takes Carla, I’m not sure. Maybe they separate. I’d really like to separate Nic and Carla, and have Nic try to employ the help of Sean Connery. Basically, taking The Rock off exactly where it left off.”
