Jerry Bruckheimer didn't only work with the legendary
Michael Bay. He worked with other legends too, like
Tony Scott and in the case of
Con Air Simon West who directed the
Rick Astley music video
Never Gonna Give You Up. Yet probably due to it being the first collaboration of Bruckheimer and West ( because it is West's directorial debut when it comes to feature films ), Bruckheimer steered him a bit to copy a style of another director he worked with. Michael Bay.

The Island 2005 is Michael Bay's Minority Report

As far as my speculation goes, I think, it is safe to assume, the following happened: In 1994 ( before doing
Bad Boys )
Michael Bay signed a 10 year contract with
Jerry Bruckheimer which expired in 2004 ( after
Bad Boys 2 ). Knowing that the contract is about to expire, 2 years prior ( in 2002 )
Steven Spielberg, in an attempt to get on good terms with Michael Bay, added a small reference to Bad Boys into his film
Minority Report. And then took Bay under his supervision for the next 10 years. Starting with the 2005 film
The Island. And through the
Transformers franchise. Bay returned the favor by showing a concept car designed for
Minority Report ( Lexus 2054 aka Lexus Minority ) multiple times in the background of
The Island. Still that's just a theory. I don't actually know what happened. But it seems plausible.
