This much we know for sure: Blockbuster director Michael Bay is seriously considering taking a bit of time off between Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen and Transformers 3 to direct what he's calling "a small movie." As for rumors that the film might be an adaptation of a series of 1999 Miami New Times features, well, we've talked to some people and at this point cannot confirm or deny.
