Michael Bay Forced to Apologize for ‘Project Almanac’ Plane Crash Scene

Date:

Michael Bay apologizes for film’s plane crash scene and will cut it from the upcoming feature film Project Almanac. 

Michael Bay has recently apologized for a scene in one of his production company’s new movies, Project Almanac. 

From The Hollywood Reporter:

Families of two victims of a real-life 1994 Air Force crash recently expressed dismay to Paramount about a clip from the trailer for the studio’s forthcoming time-travel thriller Project Almanacaccording to the Air Force Times.

The scene shows characters watching footage of a plane crash that the loved ones of Col. Robert Wolff and Lt. Col. Mark McGeehan believe to be footage of the actual B-52 crash that killed the two men.

According to reports, Project Almanac producer Michael Bay said he didn’t realize that the film’s first-time director, Dean Israelite, had used actual footage of a crash instead of CG effects. Michael Bay added that he has asked Paramount to cut the scene from the movie.

“I let film directors make their movies at Platinum Dunes [Bay’s production company] and give them tremendous responsibilities,” Bay said in a statement released to the Times. “Well, unfortunately a very bad choice was made to use a real crash instead of creating a VFX [visual effects] shot, without realizing the impact it could have on the families.”
