Michael Bay Open To Directing On Yellowstone, Says It Would Be Fun
Michael Bay says he'd like to direct on the series Yellowstone, admitting he would have fun working in that «world.» Bay, known for his high concept action movies such as Transformers and Armageddon, has developed a reputation as being a director for audiences, with a dynamic and intense visual style that separates him from other filmmakers. His latest film Ambulance, an action-thriller starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, has so far received largely positive reviews, and will release in theaters on April 8.
Yellowstone follows the conflicts of the Dutton family, owners of the largest ranch in Montana, and how they contend with family drama, a bordering Native American reservation, and land developers. The series is run by Taylor Sheridan, writer of Hell or High Water, Sicario, and Wind River, who writes every episode and directs many of them as well. Yellowstone currently has one spin-off, 1883 starring Sam Elliott, as well as 1932 and 6666, which are planned for release as Paramount+ originals.
