Transformers 4 to Feature a Female Lead?
Source: Spoiler TV
October 17, 2012
Although details are decidedly few, Spoiler TV is reporting that Michael Bay's Transformers 4 could feature a female protagonist. According to the site, a search is now underway for an actress to play the leading role of a high school senior. Also being cast, they say, is the character's boyfriend, a Texan racecar driver.
Bay recently spoke about the project, now in development for a June 27, 2014 release, suggesting that this is likely the final Transformers adventure with him at the helm. Ehren Kruger is providing the screenplay which is rumored to take the storyline into outer space with a brand new cast of both humans and robots.

The new female lead that they are looking for is a high school senior and her boyfriend a Texas racing driver.

Demographics and ASSUMED audience demand. With Shia the first time around, he wanted the audience to relate to the protag.
I don't know; maybe he thinks since ass-kicking hot chicks are popular among the anime/manga crowd (many of whom might also be TF fans), the new protag should be a high school girl.
OR, he just wanted to save on budget, and instead of hiring a lead actor and an obligatory piece of female eye candy, he'd just kill two birds with one stone.
The redneck BF is most likely just for comic relief.
Just theories, though.
P.S. I'm also pissed off that he didn't have a NEST agent star in TF4. I'm as tired of this high school alien-contact BS as you are.

Was looking forward to a new direction. But this sounds like more of the same problems that plagued the last 3 films. I love the TF movies in spite of their flaws, but was hoping for a truly new direction at this point. I knew Michael Bay was onboard but was hoping that he'd know to get away from the problems of the first 3 films.

Humans have very limited activity in space, so hopefully that will shift focus on the Transformers themselves. Maybe we'll see some cool space battles like in the Star Wars series, or the humans will be in only the 1st half or something...?
