- If you’re a fan of Michael Bay and want to hear him share some awesome stories about the making of his movies, you’re about to be very happy. Last week, Collider hosted an early screening of Bay’s new movie, Ambulance, and after the screening ended, he joined me for an epic 90-minute Q&A! If you’re not aware, Bay rarely does Q&As, which is one of the reasons we made sure to film the event.
Since we covered so many subjects, I decided to break it up into three articles.
In today’s installment, Bay talks about how seeing Raiders of the Lost Ark as a kid inspired him to become a director, what it was like making Bad Boys and how Sony and his line producer didn’t have faith in the movie, how he comes up with trailer shots, how he pushed the envelope when editing Bad Boys with his fast cuts, and how his Pearl Harbor movie included the most complicated explosion ever done on film. He also revealed it took three and a half months to rig the explosion, and they put dynamite in the water.
In addition, Bay shared what it was like filming 13 Hours each night during the eighteen minutes of sunset to get the shots he wanted, what it was like working with Sean Connery on The Rock, how he discovered Michael Clarke Duncan for Armageddon, why he should have showed Bruce Willis some footage from the movie earlier in the shoot, and so much more.
Finally, a huge thank you to Universal for helping to make this event happen. Look for more with Bay soon.
