Michael Bay has extended a first-look deal with Paramount for three additional
years, the studio said on Thursday. The agreement includes Platinum Dunes, Bay
's production company, and Bay Films.
“变形金刚”知名导演麦可贝，在美国时间周四与派拉蒙公司签订了一份为期三年的
再合作合约，这份合约的范围不仅有麦可贝未来导演的电影，也包括他旗下自创制片
品牌“白金沙丘”影业。
"Over the years I have become part of the Paramount family," said the director
in a statement. "There is a synergy there that feels different than any other
place in Hollywood."
麦可贝在签约仪式上表示：“经过了这几年，我已经成为派拉蒙家族的一员了。这里有
一股‘互助效应’，让我感受到派拉蒙与好莱坞其他公司的不同。”
Bay's fourth entry in the lucrative Transformers series, Age of Extinction,
recently became the highest-grossing movie in China's history, where it
crossed the $300 million mark over the weekend. The director's reboot of the
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for Paramount is set to open in U.S. theaters on
Aug. 8.
麦可贝亲自执导最新一集变形金刚电影“绝迹重生”，不仅继续保持吸金力，在中国大
陆甚至成为当地影史票房最高电影(其金额即将在本周末到达三亿美金)。而他只当制片
，但同样由派拉蒙发行的经典英雄重启片“忍者龟：变种世代”，也即将在下周五正式
在美国上映。
"With an ever-growing, worldwide fan base, Michael is truly one of the most
inspired and beloved filmmakers of our time," said Paramount CEO and chairman

part of the Paramount family and we look forward to growing our productive
and successful partnership."
