Deadline claims the script has been heavily desired for years but never attached a director until Bay. Fedak is one of the creators of Chuck and was also a writer on DC's Legends of Tomorrow. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2014/06/18/top-5-michael-bay-movies"] The last movie directed by Bay was 6 Underground, which was released by Netflix in 2019. 6 Underground was one of Netflix's biggest debuts ever for an original movie. As for Ambulance, Universal Pictures is reportedly looking to buy the film. Bay has some experience making movies under coronavirus protocols. Bay is a producer on Songbird, which was made entirely during the pandemic.

The blockbuster director was also in the news recently for penning a tribute to Sean Connery and sharing a story of a time when Connery stood up to Disney executives. Gyllenhaal is also reportedly starring in a movie about the creation of The Godfather with Oscar Isaac playing director Francis Ford Coppola.
