Am I the only one hoping TF5 will be called Faces of Darkness? It just seems like the most fitting thing to do.

IF the villains are indeed the Quintessons (which isn't for certain) then it would be a neat title. However, non-fans, or maybe even newer fans, wouldn't get it, unless the Quintessons actually had 5 faces.

That's why I left out the number in the title.

I don't think any TF live-action movie thus far has ever had a number. it's always been Transformers - Dark of the Moon, Transformers - Age of Extinction, etc.

Unless you mean actually calling the sequel itself, "Five Faces of Death."

'Transformers 5: Faces of darkness' would be hilariously sneaky.

"Transformers: Faces of Darkness" is all I'm looking for. And just know it's the 5th movie.

Actually Transformers: Five Faces of Darkness sounds kinda cool. Nice way to hide number in title.

But again: Transformers without Michael Bay sounds cool all by itself. So title isn't that important. But I'm sure that they figure somthing out.

Fellow Seibertronians, Dr.Va'al - who is on quite the roll today - has pointed us towards an article that reveals that Paramount has hired cinematographer Jonathan Sela to work on Transformers 5. Jonathan Sela has previously done work for projects such as 'John Wick', 'A Good Day To Die Hard', and 'Max Payne' as well as the TV show 'Limitless' in the pilot episode. So what do you think of this addition to the movie crew? Think it'll work out for the better, or not so much? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

Enertainment news site, The Wrap, has some new potential casting info for the upcoming Transformers 5 film:

After successfully launching his own NBC sitcom “The Carmichael Show,” comedian Jerrod Carmichael is in talks to join Mark Wahlberg in Paramount’s “Transformers 5,” multiple individuals familiar with the project have told TheWrap.

You may have also seen him in the 2014 movie Neighbors, which is where the still below comes from.

[Microraptor]

Please let him be a consistent cast member. We need more human diversity.

[MGrotusque]

What? Who?.....don't answer. I don't hoestly care.

Confirming that Hollywood thinks every Transformers movie needs a comedian in order to work.

Will anyone be making a trip to Detroit Rock City to catch the filming?

lol, the notion of taking a trip to Detroit for any reason is pretty bad, but to do it in the hopes you might catch a glimpse of a movie being made... lolololol I'll stay north of 8 mile road, thanks.

I agree, especially the title here.

[Rodimus Prime]

Not real, but there it is.

[Va'al]

After the rumoured potential casting of Nickelodeon teenage star Isabela Moner, we have confirmation from the actress herself (from last week) on her Twitter account, about her involvement in the next instalment of in the Paramount live action movie Transformers franchise. Check out her short clip and tweet embedded below!

I'm gonna be in some movie franchise called #Transformers5 or something? @ParamountMovies robots?

[Sigma Magnus]

...she seems rather dismissive about this. Either that or I'm taking it too literally.

[Va'al]

...she seems rather dismissive about this. Either that or I'm taking it too literally.

Pretty sure it's tongue in cheek.

[Rodimus Prime]

So what happens to Nicola Peltz? Is she out of the story?

[Optimizzy]

ugh. kid stars

double ugh. ambivalent sarcasm

triple ugh. probably not sarcasm at all.

[Madeus Prime]

...she seems rather dismissive about this. Either that or I'm taking it too literally.

Pretty sure it's tongue in cheek.

Or she's aware she's going to be in this movie.

[VioMeTriX]

she doesn't even know anything about transformers, they should give the role to someone who knows something

[Va'al]

she doesn't even know anything about transformers

She'll fit right in with the writers, then.

BURN!!!!!

High five!!

Who else in the Bay flicks knows anything about Transformers? Maybe Tyrese Gibson? So what's the difference here?

[laserking]

I am Sure she is faking it. How can you not be happy to be in a Transformers movie?! She probably screamed with happiness before or after she made the video!!!!!

[RevTibe]

I'm surprised so many are even considering taking the deadpan seriously It's a sadly neglected form of comedy.

she doesn't even know anything about transformers, they should give the role to someone who knows something

a) How can you possibly confirm that? b) How would general Transformers knowledge influence an actor here? It's not like being able to list Soundwave's cassettes would have any impact on character acting.

A case could maybe be made for a VA voicing one of the TFs benefiting from knowledge of the franchise, although the only TFs with personalities similar to previous depictions are already voiced by legacy VAs.
