Chicago should be renamed the survivor city. It has been destroyed and tormented all too much

I guess there's little incentive to make something differen, when you make the same movie three times in a row and make hundreds of millions of dollars every time.

2017 release date? lol how will they get this movie finished by then?

Please! it's Michael Bay! he'll throw it together at the last minute(or the film will feel like he did)

griftimus prime wrote:2017 release date? lol how will they get this movie finished by then?

Six months filming, six months post-production. There will be a lot of work already done in pre-production. It's quite feasible really.

Check out the full interview - which is about 13 Hours - here.

good lord that is a long interview

NICE!!!

Knowing Bay, he'll get it done.

As we had heard in a recent interview, the next Paramount/Michael Bay Transformers live-action feature will see a 2017 release date - but thanks to My Entertainment World and fellow Seibertronian Survivefan23, we have confirmation of the beginning of the works (though not a definite location other than the Chicago stories): May 2016. Do you think there is enough time to make it all work? Let us know what you think in the Energon Pub!

Title: Transformers 5
Category: Feature Film
Genre: Action / Adventure / Sci-Fi
Shoot Date: May, 2016
Location:

Apart from some lackluster elements the first Transformers movie was good. ROTF was a bit of a mess story wise and didn't make much sense. It has it's nice moments, but it still is a pain to watch with althe butchered story, lore and robots. DOTM was better since it had more robot interaction and the story, although "borrowed" from a G1 episode, was a lot better. The last Transformers movie was horrible, ihe story was as thin as paper, we have a "Decepticon" working with humans and instead of Trasnforming or converting the robots suddenly fall apart like Lego and rematerialize in another form. That is not what Transformers is about. I have seen the movie once and never want to see it again. It was ROTF all over again. This new movie, although i hope it is good, will probably be the last nail in the coffin.

So it's better because it was using a G1 story?

Well great because everyone knows that G1 is the almighty god of Transformers and anything trying to be different is trash.

Well good thing is there were no Decepticons working with humans in the last movie you must be confused with Lockdown a character who is not a Decepticon or an Autobot.


Another good thing is that the Transformers do Transform it's the human built robots who Transform different I mean how dare they try to make them seem different from the real ones something new heresy I say!

To be fair, the decepticons were made by humans in the last one, also if you're referring to Lockdown working with humans, he never said he was a decepticon, in fact he even states that he's working for the creators!

Here I quote you with

DMSL wrote: we have a "Decepticon" working with humans

That's what he said he never mentioned the creators once in his post.


And aside from Galvatron do you consider those other guys Decepticons?

Galvaltron considered those guys decepticons

Of course a general will March to war with any army they can find, but if they're decepticons to galvy then it's good enough for me

Anyone know when we'll see the cars of tf5 because that would be awesome

ZeroWolf wrote:Galvaltron considered those guys decepticons

The word "Decepticon" was never used in the movie to directly refer to either Galvatron or the rest of the KSI Prototypes.

In fact, Galvatron and all the Prototypes were given a KSI insignia in the "Ultimate Transformers Showdown", while all the Cons from the first three films got a logo and Lockdown just had a "TF4" logo.

Then I stand corrected but my point still stands that Galvatron would take any one he could get to do that attack

It's like if Darth Vader approached a group of bounty hunters and asked them to fight for him sure Vader would be leading them but their not part of the Empire.

Oh I know and I didn't say that in my last statement, now it's more of a case of:

Galvatron: I need an army!

*sees the ksi drones*

Galvatron: meh they'll do, they will be enough to beat five autobots and a few humans up. Not like Optimus is going to find some other cybertonians around here that have dinosaur alt modes that could tear apart almost anything...

*sees the dinobots*

Galvatron: well I'm going to see you guys later in the sequel...

I honestly am pissed off that they killed off Stinger especially since they didn't do anything with him.


Only bad guy alive is always Megatron/Galvatron how are you supposed to get people interested in the bad guys when they don't even live longer then 5 or 10 minutes?



So mad about Stinger.

The movies have always had this problem of sorts, in the first film only starscream + barricade escaped but neither got the spotlight, in the second one megs was brought back but, aside from the forest fight, was kept back. DotM killed off all threats. AoE was in a bad position threat wise, it would if worked better teasing galvatron then letting the fifth film focus on his revolution of all the drones while adding to the threat of the creators leading into the sixth film. But c'est la vie, I'm interested what effect the writer's room will have on tf 5

i know it won't happen! but who would've loved to have seen a teaser drop at the Superbowl?

Gotta start filming first in order to have any footage to tease.

Stuartmaximus wrote:i know it won't happen! but who would've loved to have seen a teaser drop at the Superbowl?

Next year Superbowl 51 (or LI or whatever they will call it) 2/5/17 -mark it on your calendar if you want to see a teaser for TF5.

nah i think we'll see a teaser out long before then!(i'm now thinking maybe at Botcon? or whatever event it is that's coming up later on in the year) coz remember....with The Force Awakens, a teaser came out a YEAR before the actual film came out! now that's not to say that we may not see a FULL trailer drop at the next Superbowl.

You do know that the film doesn't start filming till after botcon right?

& i also said....or whatever event that's coming up later on in the year! which could mean something that happens AFTER the time that they start filming!

as to what events happen then? i'm not sure? but i'm sure something will.

but my point is....that we're bound to get at least a teaser......before the next(not this one coming up) Superbowl.

Well yes, it might be like the first film and we'll get a tease just before Xmas. However we don't need an event for this to happen so stop linking a teaser to events like conventions. But I do believe there will be something at next year's super bowl

well excuuuuse me! i wasn't aware someone had put YOU in charge! telling me to stop linking teasers to events!

& btw at this point in time...it's pure speculation anyway! as there's no definitive word that there WILL be a teaser shown at events.

so in other words...your basically telling(yes......that's right......TELLING! coming from someone that doesn't hold any authority on here!) me to stop speculating!

I'm thinking TF5 will have it's first 30 second video at the Super Bowl next year since that is what happened in AoE. and considering all the animation needed and filming not starting till summer, I doubt they would have anything worthwhile to share this year. But you never know

This ^

@stu sorry if I came off abrasive but the way you were making it seem was that it was going to happen 100% when history has shown us otherwise, especially with the last movie.

Just trying to be objective, but honestly, TF5 is no Star Wars, or even in the same realm as some of the MCU films, which may get teasers in some cases a year in advance. I know the TF franchise is still popular world wide, but TF4 was the franchise low in terms of domestic box office (I know world wide it is still a billion dollar franchise) but....

Botcon happens early this year. We will no doubt see on set photos and perhaps production art at SDCC & NYCC (summer and fall respectively). and perhapsa short teaser in Nov/Dec (A lot of films released previews online in December for some reason), but I would not expect to see anything really finalized until the Superbowl- next year. Again, not saying this is absolute, because, who knows for sure, just basing an educated guess on what has happened in previous years.

After the US, with Chicago in particular, and China, it appears that Transformers will also come to the UK. According to a number of sources, including Screen Daily, Michael Bay and Paramount might be set to head to the UK for their casting and part of the shooting of the next instalment in the live-action movie series for the Transformers. Read more here and below!

a franchise first UK shoot could bring with it significant benefits in the shape of the UK tax credit should the production hit the minimum spend threshold.

Iceland also offers an enticing incentive for inward investment productions.

Some UK studio work on the film is a possibility, but the production is not yet booked into one of the major facilities, according to sources.

Paramount has its sights set on a summer shoot for the Michael Bay-directed film, having already announced a US release date of June 23, 2017.

The studio may also be lining up repeat visits to the UK, according to sources, with additional Transformers films due to be released in 2018 - a Bumblebee spinoff - and 2019.

pretty picture

I WANNA BE IN IT!

I don't even care if I just an extra who gets smooshed underfoot by a Decepticon! Actually that would be awesome in itself.

they should do a movie where the autobots go back in time to the eighties. then they could rock the eighties vehicle modes and colors. they said in tf2 that there have been tfs hiding throughout history maybe they go back to do something with ultra magnus.

London Bridge will be falling down

That is EXACTLY how I want to die.

Also, this franchise will not rest until it destroys every country in the world will it? Not that that's a bad thing.

London of course. As far as Hollywood is concerned, it's the only city we have, and half of that is taken up by Pinewood Studios

I love in the UK do you think I'll be able to see them film transformers 5 because I'd like to be part of the film

Via Comic Book Resources, we learn that the Michigan Film and Digital Media Office has greenlit a deal with Paramount to film the next instalment in the live-action Transformers movie series, directed by Michael Bay. While we had heard rumours and casting about this previously, this is the first official confirmation - read more here and below!

Director Michael Bay’s “Transformers 5″ will shoot this summer in Detroit, the Michigan Film & Digital Media Office announced today.

The news comes as a result of a restructured incentive agreement with Paramount Pictures that will save the state $21 million.

The big-budget sequel is expected to inject $80 million into the Michigan economy and hire 850 cast and crew members, 450 of which will be state residents. In addition, about 700 extras will be needed.
