Michael Bay says he’s sorry — and no, it’s not for making “Transformers: Age of Extinction.”

On Wednesday, the explosions-loving director apologized for footage in the upcoming time-travel movie “Project Almanac,” which his company produced, that features a real-life plane crash.

Air Force Times reports that a shot in the trailer for the movie “appears nearly identical” to a B-52 crash at Washington’s Fairchild Air Force Base in 1994. Families of two people killed in that crash voiced their outrage that the crash was being exploited for an unrelated story.

In response, Paramount Pictures looked into the matter and found that the footage was not of that 1994 crash, but was in fact another real-life crash that occurred in Tokyo in 2009.

Bay said in a statement that he had thought the two-second clip was a visual effect, not archival footage.

“I let film directors make their movies at [my production company] Platinum Dunes and give them tremendous responsibilities,” Bay said. “Well, unfortunately a very bad choice was made to use a real crash instead of creating a [visual effects] shot, without realizing the impact it could have on the families.”

Bay then said he was working to right the wrong.

“I have asked Paramount Pictures to remove this shot immediately from the picture,” he said. “I want to also extend my deepest apology to the families, and also to the US Air Force.”

A rep for Paramount told Air Force Times that they would be taking out the footage, and the movie will still be released in theaters Jan. 30.
