For his input, Bay is seeking director and producer fees for the project along with “general and compensatory damages” in excess of $1.5 million. Meanwhile, GM maintains innocence, admitting through a spokesperson that they had “talked with [Bay] about directing our Super Bowl ad. We were wanting to talk to him about a role as director, not taking creative ideas from him. From our standpoint, last night was a huge success, and we are very proud of the work that was done, and that’s all I can say on it.”Source:nytimes.comRelated:[VIDEO] They Tell Me There Is a Corvette in this Carl’s Jr Super Bowl CommercialAs EV Market Cools, GM Will Opt-Out of Advertising in the Super Bowl[VIDEO] Watch GM’s 2023 Super Bowl Ad Featuring Will Ferrell and Your Favorite Netflix ShowsSubscribe Now:
