Weekend Box Office: Pain and Gain Pumps Up The Top SpotMichael Bay scored one of the worst openings for one of his movies this weekend, but you won't hear him complaining too much. Turns out this was also one of his cheaper movies (one of only a few with a price tag less than $100 million). The $20 million debut was a comparably decent start against its non-special-effects-laden $26 million reported budget, and was enough to nab number on a slow weekend. ...by Scott Gwin | published: 2013-04-28 19:21:22comments
Dwayne Johnson Loses A Toe In Red Band Trailer For Michael Bay's Pain And GainAfter watching this trailer, I must admit that I'm curious just how far Bay will be pushing the content of his latest film, which he has previous compared to a Coen brothers movie, rather than being like his more recent Transformers fare....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2013-03-26 16:37:08comments
Mark Wahlberg Gets His Pump On In New Pain & Gain TV SpotThis has to be one of the grander experiments of 2013, no? Bay, of course, isn't known for his carefully tuned storytelling, but has likened this project to a dark comedy a la the Coen brothers. The trailers still show plenty of flash, but the laugh are there. If this were a creature at the zoo I'd stare at it for hours out of curiosity....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2013-01-21 18:39:34comments
Mark Wahlberg And Dwayne Johnson Lift Weights And Kidnap People In First Pain And Gain TrailerAfter five straight years of making Transformers movies, Michael Bay promised to change things up with his next project - and it seemed like he was.

Pain & Gain Poster Has Dwayne Johnson And Mark Wahlberg Looking Muscled And SeriousWhen we shared the first poster released for Michael Bay's 2013 action-comedy Pain & Gain, Eric pointed out that most posters for Bay's movies are "filled with super star A-list actors not looking back at the bomb they just set off." The newest poster borrows some of that concept, putting two of its A-listers front and center, but trading explosions for an American flag backdrop. ...by Kelly West | published: 2012-12-07 17:50:24comments
World War Z And Pain & Gain Reveal First Footage At Paramount PresentationLast night in a screening room above a rain-soaked Times Square, Paramount Pictures unveiled a reel to show off their highest-profile releases through 2014, including footage from two films that hadn't been seen anywhere else. And no, before you ask, neither of them were Star Trek Into Darkness-- all we got from that was the same bit of director J.J.

Pump Your Guns With The First Teaser Poster For Michael Bay's Pain And GainMichael Bay's Pain and Gain won't be out until April of next year, but apparently the marketing push has already begun.

Pain & Gain Set Photo: You Will Not Believe What The Rock Is CookingNow, I'm not sure at what point you change from being your average juiced-up gym rat to a guy who would barbecue a human hand, but clearly The Rock has crossed that line, and the nonchalance on his face and overall averageness of a barbecue...by Katey Rich | published: 2012-04-26 14:11:50comments

Ken Jeong Joins Michael Bay's Pain And GainMichael Bay has described his next film, Pain and Gain, as being similar to a Coen brothers crime film, but that's not the only way he seems to be emulating the Oscar winning siblings - he's reusing his old castmembers as well.

Michael Bay Hires Screenwriter Scott Rosenberg To Punch Up Pain & GainRosenberg will polish Bay’s shooting script, which follows two Miami bodybuilders who dabbled in kidnapping and extortion but saw their criminal “empire” come to a convoluted close when things go awry. Comparisons have been made between this based-on-true-events story and the Coen Brothers’ Fargo, which sounds fantastic … if Bay can pull it off....by Sean O'Connell | published: 2012-03-06 06:40:17comments
Michael Bay Casts An Israeli Supermodel To Play The Female Lead In Pain And GainMichael Bay is a man that knows what he likes and one thing that definitely fits in that category is beautiful women.

Anthony Mackie May Play The Third Meathead In Michael Bay's Pain And GainMackie has proven himself capable of jumping into just about anything and making it better, from excellent second-banana work in The Hurt Locker to a slyly funny and soulful role in The Adjustment Bureau to, hey why not, Real Steel.

John Turturro May Reunite With Michael Bay For Pain And GainPain and Gain will be Bay's first real comedy, which carries with it a lot of risks and potential for overblown action that takes away from what's actually funny. But he's at least attracting a lot of good actors, and has at least found something to do other than crash giant robots together-- a relief for those of us who think the guy does have a little bit of talent...by Katey Rich | published: 2012-02-18 12:24:24comments

Their comeuppance later comes at the hands of a private investigator hired to track them down. ...by Kristy Puchko | published: 2012-02-02 13:18:53comments

UPDATE: Michael Bay Wants Mark Wahlberg, Dwayne Johnson For His Bodybuilding ComedyBoth actors have had discussions with Bay, though Johnson’s closer to signing than Wahlberg.

Michael Bay's Crime Comedy Pain And Gain Compared To FargoIt's been described as in the vein of Pulp Fiction, and Bay called it "a fun character piece. No action. One car crash."
