>During filming for 2014's "Transformers: Age of Extinction", director Michael Bay was reportedly approached by local crooks who attempted to extort protection money from the production crew. When Bay refused, one of the crooks threw a nearby air-conditioner at him in a fit of rage, which was the inspiration for the scene in which Mark Wahlberg's and Titus Welliver's characters fight on the side of a building using an air-conditioner as a weapon.

>Paramount has reached an $18.5 million settlement with Gabriella Cedillo, the extra who suffered a severe head trauma on the set of the Transformers 3 film on September 1, 2010. The victim’s attorney accused Paramount of doing “everything they could to avoid payment”. A source tells Deadline that the lawsuit filed in October 2010 would have gone on longer if Michael Bay’s name hadn’t been thrown into the legal mix. But the possibility that the director and his Platinum Dunes production company suddenly were to be pulled in as defendants apparently lit a fire under Paramount to speed a settlement. Today’s news comes after a year and a half of legal maneuvering, including attempts by the studio to move the case from Illinois to California, as well one already failed mediation.
