Transformers 4 - ongoing news thread

[Megatron]

Just thought I'd make an ongoing thread for all interviews, news articles and (minor) updates for the upcoming movie, rather than spamming the forum with a million individual threads for each one.

So, here's the latest:


Ilt Jones, location manager for all three of the Transformers movies, has just wrapped up a tour of Thailand on behalf of Marvel, where he explored Bangkok as a potential shooting location for Transformers 4, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

From The Hollywood Reporter (14/11/2012): 'Transformers 4' Considering Shoot in Thailand



Vulture has learned that Michael Bay’s rapidly coalescing but still-untitled fourth Transformers film, starring Mark Wahlberg, is likely to be set in mainland China... Filming in China and, even more ideally, working with a local production partner raises the odds that the fourth Transformers will get a wide release in China, a country with a massive potential box office.

I actually like the idea to set it in China, if its for making more money well cool! It also helps me feel a bit better that this 4th movie, whilst not going to be a reboot will be somewhat refreshing... Im cautiously optimistic

Short interview with Mark Wahlberg, includes video.

Only a few bits of info related to Transformers. TF4 starts shooting in May (which will likely last a few months), followed by Ted 2 right after.

Release date mentioned for TF4 is June 27, 2014.

are we getting a bayverse Unicron?

[theheretic]

I read this too and I'm not sure. It all sounds a little fake to me.

are we getting a bayverse Unicron?

As much as I may like some of the ideas in so called leaked script, I'm gonna call complete bs on this.

[Trent]

I too call BS. Sooooo many things wrong with that. Although I like the Exosuit idea.

Bay has said the TFs will be redesigned. I think this is a ploy by hasbro to get new molds out, something different, in order to sell the line instead of repaints of BBs.

How do you think the bots will be redesigned? Will it be so they are easier to transform as toys perhaps.

[SkyWarp91]

Maybe Bay will ditch the alien look and go for blocky TFs. Oh primus imagine shiny chrome-plated face plates in a Bay film...

[VERT]

Well they did a big re design for the last movie. Optimus and Bee had alot of work done......And still looked the same. They had new CG models built from the ground up.
