Despite previous reports, it has officially been confirmed that Bay will not be directing the Skibidi Toilet movie. Through an Instagram video, Bay clarified his involvement by addressing his upcoming directorial projects, revealing that he will only be serving as a producer on the Skibidi Toilet movie.
“I went on the internet last night and it says stuff about me directing something, I know what I’m directing, but it’s not the thing they keep talking about,” He said while showing a pile of movie scripts he’s working on. “That’s a movie. These are a whole bunch of movies right now, one is in serious prep, one is in soft prep, one I’m writing, one getting ready to produce or two to produce, but there’s not one in that little pile that says Skibidi, so let’s just stop the lore right now. OK. You heard it from me.”
Last week, production on the Skibidi Toilet movie has officially started. Bay has been working with his creative team on the project since last summer. He also released a brief teaser about the project last week. His team includes Academy Award-nominated production designer Jeffrey Beecroft (12 Monkeys, Transformers, A Quiet Place), and three-time Academy Award-winning VFX supervisor Rob Legato (Titanic, Avatar, Hugo, The Jungle Book). Invisible Narratives is producing, developing, and financing the project.
The viral series was created by Alexey Gerasimov, which started on February 2023. It centers around a war between toilets with human heads coming out of their bowls, and men with cameras for heads. Since its debut, Skibidi Toilet has evolved into a global phenomenon, captivating audiences with its uniquely distinct style and vast creator ecosystem.
