Q:
What is Michael Bay's next movie?
A: As of August 2001, Michael is still looking at
scripts and projects. He hasn't decided on anything yet.
But you can keep your eyes open for his upcoming "Pepsi"
and "Victoria's Secret" commercials airing this
fall.
Q:
Where can I purchase Michael's student films ["My
Bother Benjamin," and the "Coca Cola spec commercial"],
commercials, or music videos?
A: Unfortunately, Michael's short films are owned
exclusively by Michael and unless he decides to release
them, there is no way to obtain them. Keep your fingers
crossed that he will change his mind and maybe release them
some time in the future.
As for the music videos, the artists are
on different labels so the creating an official collection
would be extremely difficult. You can find some of his music
videos on the SE of Bad Boys (Dana King's "Shy Guy"),
and on the Pearl Harbor SE DVDs (Faith Hill's "There
You'll Be").
You can find Michael's "Got Milk?
Aaron Burr" commercial on the Laserdisc Criterion Edition
of "The Rock."
Q:
Is Michael Bay online?
A: Yes he is. He surfs the Internet, send and receives
e-mail like everyone does.
Q:
Can I have Michael's e-mail, address or phone number?
A: No. Posting his personal contact info would be
quite irresponsible, and would disrupt his privacy.
Q:
Does Michael Bay visit this site?
A: Yes. He visits the boards, and other parts of
the site.
Q:
Have you spoken to or met Michael Bay?
A: Yes I have. Michael was generous enough in giving me
an interview for this site. I spoke to him on the phone.
You can read the interview here.
And he also invited me to his office in Santa Monica. Click

Q:
Is there any way you can forward mail, scripts, or video
tapes to Michael?
A: Not through this site. I cannot accept unsolicited
material (e.g. scripts, presents, videos, reels, etc.) intend
to be received by or for Michael. And I CANNOT direct it
to him or his production company. It is unsolicited material
and legally I cannot accept it (much less send it to Michael).
So, if you send something, I will simply delete it, throw
it away, or send it back.
Q:
So is there any other way I can send Michael a script?
A: Yes. What you first have to do is get the script
to where it is "worthy of someone else reading it"
and then begin the long, hard search for representation
(in other words: getting an agent. Then the agent will send
it to the person you request). You also have to register
your script with the WGA
or the U.S.
Copyright Office.
Q:
What does Michael have for wheels?
A: As of now, he's driving a Porsche 911 Twin Turbo.
Q:
Is it true that Michael's biological father is a Hollywood
director? Who is it?
A: While this issue is none of my business (and yours),
I'll answer this question in Michael's own words: "You can
probably hurt a lot of people by saying [who it is]," he
says. "He's got a family and it would probably fuck a lot
of people up."
Q:
Where does Michael live?
A: He lives in Bel Air, California.
Q:
Who does Michael date or is he married?
A: You can see a picture of him and his girlfriend
at the "Pearl Harbor" premiere here.
