[Paulbot]

Via Hoyts Facebook page, Win a chance to interview the star of Age of Extinction: Mark Walhberg.

So we are getting more pieces of the puzzle, that was first hinted at about a week ago.

The details from the Hoyts page, so that no one else has to spend half an hour reading through the conditions and requirements....

First, you have have to be 18 years old.
Second, you need to be on Facebook to "like" the Hoyts facebook page.
Then, submit an entry to the link Paulbot noted, with “If you could ask Mark Wahlberg one question, what would it be?”
The most interesting answer will be chosen, not one at random.

You have nine days to enter, starting from Friday the 9th, with entries closing 11.59pm Sunday the 18th.
A winner will then be selected midday Monday the 19th, and contacted by phone and email.
The winner must respond by 5pm that day, or the prize is forfeit and another winner is chosen.

The winner will get a return flight for two people to Sydney (from a capital city if not in Sydney), plus 2 nights accommodation, and transport to the event (which is still yet to be determined). No other expenses are covered by the prize.

Return flights for 2 people to Sydney RRP $2000.00
Airport Transfers RRP $220.00
2 night accommodation for 21st and 22nd May 2014 RRP $800.00
Transfers from the winners hotel to the junket location RRP $40.00
A chance to interview Mark Wahlberg – This experience is money can’t buy!
Total prize value: $3060.00

The condition of acceptance is that you are available for travelling on the 21st and 23rd of May, and be at the interview of the 22nd in Sydney. If you are unable or unwilling to do any part, the prize will be awarded to someone else, as the winner looks to be a promotional tool, so you need to be there and sign a legal consent to them using your image, etc. (and can't transfer it to someone else if you cant)

There is also a condition that if the promotional event does not go ahead, the promoter will still award something of equal or greater value (probably still fly you into Sydney and have 2 nights stay at the fancy hotel they had booked).


I want to see some of these major movie prizes end up in the hands of the dedicated fans here, like with a lot of the competitions for the last movie... so go forth and enter, and I hope someone here wins.


(wow... 2 nights accommodation for $800? Even if it was 2 separate rooms for you and your friend, that's still $200 per night... which would be a pretty decent hotel)

It's an interesting promotion, I'm not so sure I have any burning questions for Mark Whalberg, especially after listening to the last few episodes of Preorder66.

I don't have enough leave to afford 2 days of work either.

come to think of it, over 18 and not working two days in the middle of the week, that's a pretty small competition pool, pretty good odds of winning, get in there folks, if you can take those days off.

My question to him would be.....'Did you need to take acting lessons as a requirement for your role in Age Of Extinction?'

Me too... I guess that makes us the last two people on earth not on Facebook.

My question to him would be.....'Did you need to take acting lessons as a requirement for your role in Age Of Extinction?'

Considering some many of the past actors in the TFs movies were there for looks not their acting skills, I'd be more inclined to ask if Wahlberg had to "dumb down" his acting skills to play a part in AOE.
(actually, with his physique he's probably just there to draw in more female viewers, like the main ladies of the last three were just there to draw in the horny teens... not make a difference to the plot )

For anyone wanting to see if Wahlberg is hired for movie roles for his acting ability or his physical appearance... the movie Boogie Nights is on TV on Thursday.

I was going to ask Mark Wahlberg in the facebook competition wether he will be wearing that prosthetic penis in Age Of Extinction, but thought not.

That counts me out too

Well, you could always try

Anyone here actually enter?

It would be good if someone here does... and then see how much he knows about Transformers (if they let you ask more than your entered question).
