When Michael Bay took the helm of producing the Transformers trilogy, no one knows if there is any other attempts made by other directors in pitching for the movie before Bay owns it. Joseph Kahn is one of them.
He is the director of Detention, as claimed by many as one extraordinary film like a kind of pop-culture headbutt with more ideas in an hour and a half than you’d normally want to have to parse in a whole weekend.
He too was also the director of Torque.

Kahn recently tweeted in his twitter feed about his share of his pitch for a Transformers film, which dates back to before Bay got the job. The plot goes like this:
“A boy and his car and his girl. Pretty much the same idea, but more thematically about evolution and extinction. Their crash wipes out the dinosaurs in the beginning of the movie. And lots of nukes at the end.”
Sound familiar? The boy and girl thingy is the same theme that Michael Bay was sharing as well. How cool it would be if his (Kahn’s) pitch was accepted first? That will mean Dinobots might show up even in the first one. Sadly that never materialize.
Another Kahn project that never saw fruition was an adaptation of William Gibson’s Neuromancer.
