ComingSoon wrote:With "Transformers: The Ride-3D" now open at Universal Studios Hollywood, film franchise director Michael Bay stopped by the ride and spoke with The LA Times about his plans for his fourth -- and, as he stated recently final -- Transformers film, set to hit theaters on June 27, 2014.
“It’s not a reboot," Bay said, reiterating that the new film will have an all-new cast. "That’s maybe the wrong word. I don’t want to say 'reboot' because then people will think we’re doing a 'Spider-Man' and starting from the beginning. We’re not. We’re taking the story that you’ve seen — the story we’ve told in three movies already — and we’re taking it in a new direction. But we’re leaving those three as the history. It all still counts... We’re moving on to something different.”
Though the script, currently being drafted by Ehren Kruger, is not yet final, Bay hints that one place the fourth film may go is into outer space.
"That feels like the way to go, doesn’t it?" says Bay. "I want to go a little off [the planet] but I don’t want to go too sci-fi. I still want to keep it grounded."
No matter what, Bay says that one element of the new production is to scale back the budget somewhat to around $165 million, about $30 million less than 2011's Transformers: Dark of the Moon.

One for each year of the Movieverse's decade strong tenure. Here's to a few more explosive years!

They almost got it right, but it was short an didn't show much of the personal action. They just showed a dog fight with the battle going on in the background. I want actual Cybertron battles. I hope the final battle takes place partially in space and partially on earth. Something like what Mass Effect 3 did; while there's a battle on the ground, there's also stuff blowing up in space between massive Autobot and Decepticon ships.

You know, as much as I hated ME3's ending that space battle was awesome.

On the other hand, if they're going to tell the story in space, then they can't possibly skimp on the CGI.

I smell BEAST WARS!!!

Turns out Optimus is his father....
Capt.Failure wrote:Bays an expensive director because he prefers to use actual locations and physical effects unless he can absolutely avoid it. A film set in the future would negate many of the travel costs of filming on location.
