Titus Welliver Seen on Set of Transformers 4

Deadline is reporting that actor Titus Welliver has officially joined the cast of "Transformers 4". We previously reported that he had been sighted on set while during the filming in central Texas. No details regarding his role have been released at the moment.

Transformers: Age of Extinction's Titus Welliver recently spoke to Nerdist about the upcoming film. According to Welliver this film is much darker than the previous trilogy and "not a kids movie". The full interview can be found by clicking here.

How was it for the actor, best known for his roles on The Good Wife and Argo, stepping into the huge Transformers summer movie franchise? “I’ve now won the hard earned respect of my children because I’m in a Transformers film, and I’ve always wanted to work with Michael Bay and certainly Mark Wahlberg and Kelsey Grammer.” And what can fans look forward to in this installment? “It’s a bit more of a darker vision of the Transformers world… It’s not a kids movie, I’ll tell you that much.”

If this movie is not a kids movie why are they marketing the toys to 4-10 year olds

I take these movies seriously and I'm older than 11.

Think about DOTM for a second...was that really a kids movie either? How many children nowadays knew of the Space Race, Chernobyl, Commander Buzz Aldrin, and even Kennedy for that matter unless 10 or older. The historical significance, fictitious or not, and the very dark story line made for a much less family friendly picture. I truly hope this one is much darker and from the scenes with Lockdown possibly torturing Prime/the truly menacing look of the dinobots...this one looks to be just that. I wouldn't take my 6 year old niece to see this movie. I would think hard about taking anyone under the age of 10 to see this thing...just my opinion.

~reluctantyouth~

that is good to here finally transformers is becoming bolder as oter pg13 movies batman trilogy, jurrasic park, alien vs predator, after earth showed old sister half face when will smith son was dreaming floating down river, deep blue sea,.

let it have move action destruction some scary moments litte kids will get nightmares off of when dinobots awaken

Not a kids movie, huh? Good thing they thought to add robot dinosaurs, then.

I'm likely more conservative in my views on what is and isn't appropriate for children than some, but I don't define any of the Transformers movies as being "kid's movies."

I might even think of AOE as more of a kid's movie if it's darker in the vein of more robot violence and a weightier, more meaningful story, with less crude humor and painfully written human interactions.

So what was with the butt/cleavage shots in all three films, and then we had Wheelie the Humping Autobot?

And in RoTF Sam's parents outright talked about brownies "baked with reefer in it" and showed Sam's mom actually consuming it and then acting like a total idiot afterwards.

I guess the toy designers didn't get the memo
