Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning producer Michael Bay
Filmmaker Michael Bay's (Producer) five movies have grossed over $1.75 billion in worldwide ticket sales. His newest film, The Island, starring Ewan McGregor, Scarlett Johansson, Djimon Hounsou, Sean Bean and Steve Buscemi is still in release around the world, earning receipts well beyond $100 million.
While Bay Films remains one of the hottest production entities in Hollywood today, the director saw the need to begin another arm of his company, Platinum Dunes, as a way to help new talent hone their skills on smaller projects before being subjected to larger scale, high-budget movies. His first offering with producing partners Andrew Form and Brad Fuller was The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, a remake of the 1974 cult classic. The film opened to excellent reviews and grossed over $110 million worldwide. The company's second film, still in theatres worldwide, The Amityville Horror, continues it's earning potential with current box office receipts over $110 million.
Michael Bay also directed the summer 2003 hit Bad Boys II, his fifth collaboration with producer Jerry Bruckheimer. Prior to that, he directed Pearl Harbor, on which he shared producer credit with Bruckheimer. The film grossed over $450 million worldwide. His first feature film, the original Bad Boys, starred Will Smith and Martin Lawrence; it wowed critics and audiences alike and grossed over $140 million worldwide, making it Columbia Pictures' top-grossing film of 1995. The following year saw the release of Bay's second film; starring Sean Connery and Nicolas Cage, The Rock eclipsed Bay's blockbuster debut, taking in more than $300 million worldwide. His third directing effort, Armageddon, which he produced with Bruckheimer, starred Bruce Willis, Ben Affleck, and Liv Tyler; it took in over $550 million around the globe.
Bay began his career in the advertising industry, directing commercials and music videos for Propaganda Films. In 1995, he was honored by the Directors Guild of America as Commercial Director of the Year. At age 24, he made his first foray out of film school into the music video business. His works for such acts as Meat Loaf, Aerosmith, Tina Turner, Donny Osmond, and the DiVinyls won him huge recognition and led to a number of MTV Best Music Video nominations, and the coveted prize in 1992.
Bay's first television spot - for the American Red Cross - was a Clio winner, and it heralded an expeditious rise from anonymity to renown. Within three years, the Los Angeles native and Wesleyan University graduate had directed some of the best known and professionally acclaimed advertising campaigns in the world. Nike, Budweiser, Coca Cola, Reebok, and Miller Lite were just a few of his clients.
Bay is the youngest director to have won nearly every award bestowed by the advertising industry. He won the Grand Prix Clio for Commercial of the Year for the irreverent "Got Milk?/Aaron Burr" commercial; this famous spot, along with two others in the "Got Milk?" campaign created by Bay, won Best Campaign of the Year at New York's Museum of Modern Art. In Cannes, the world's largest competition for commercials, Bay won the Gold Lion for "The Best Beer" campaign for Miller, and the Silver Lion for the "Got Milk?" spot.
Bay is already at work on his next movie, Transformers, which is readying to begin production in spring of 2006 for Dreamworks SKG and Paramount Pictures.
