Transformers: Age of Extinction Malaysian Hong Leong Bank Promotion

Here's some more Transformers: Age of Extinction news for you! Entertainment and media website IGN had the chance to interview Mark Wahlberg, who plays inventor and single dad Cade Yaeger in the upcoming movie, in which he touches upon what is new about the new film - from 'recruiting' the dinobots to what he anticipates the fans' reaction will be. Additionally, German YouTube channel Movie Captain has a good chat with Nicola Peltz, who plays Tessa Yaeger, and talks about how the character is different from Carly or Mikaela, and her relationship with the other actors in the cast. Check both out embedded below!

I wish interview with people involved on art concepts, 3d, animation or anything involved with those amazing transformers instead of actors.

I agree with other poster who said they should speak with art directors and such instead of just the actors especially when addressing "die hard fans". I had to laugh when MW said this movie was more real/believable than the others. Unicron is coming...has to be. There is so little than can be said and MW said the Die Hards will be blown away with a new threat and new villains. Again I hope we see more than just Galvatron, Lockdown, and drones. I'm so pumped for the movie. I recently started dating someone that hasn't seen any of them. I'm not going to bother showing her TF or ROTF...think DOTM will prepare her for AOE. She is cool with my hobby and that is a major plus in my book. I had about given up on finding someone accepting of Transformers...do not know what it is about Central Illinois but women here are monumentally picky, uppity, and self absorbed to the max.

"What's different about this film is that this one has a stronger human element..."



When are these folks going to realize that the main characters of The Transformers need to be the actual Transformers???

Transformers sound badass in German.

Except they tried that with the second and third one. There was a lot more of the bots than in the first movie, and a lot of people hated it. They said there was too much of the bots, too much action, and not enough story.

Why can't there be a balance between the two? Just because the robuts are featured more often, doesn't mean that Bay has to overcompensate by taking away any vestiges of plot the movies still had. I honestly thinks that he sometimes forgets that the Transformers are actual characters with depth. What I want to see in AOE is more scenes like the ones in DOTM, with Optimus and Sentinel debating and Optimus mourning Ironhide. Scenes that convey the idea that they're actual characters, not just plot devices. Personally, I'd like to see a movie something along the lines of Rescue Bots and Transformers: Prime, where the humans are actually integral to the plot, but they don't hog screen-time and they don't just serve as the "token kids we're supposed to relate to". So basically, Human Alliance/Rescue Bots: The Movie.

congrats lucky dog having trouble finding woman period who is or not transformers fan like in peretz interview interview doesn't say anything clips first then her answers

That had to be some people from just general movie-going audience. I doubt TF fans would frown on more bots even if they weren't characterized well. For instance, Jetfire, DotM Megatron and Shockwave. The characters sucked, but at least they were in there.

Would you guys have been OK with it if only Grimlock was introduced from the Dinobots, or did it have to be all 5 of them?

All that talk about the "human element" reminds me that Beast Machines was the only Transformers series to be devoid of humans. I'm curious: How did that work out for everyone?

Well, there were those cave men... (Loved BW, BTW. )

Having more heart and a family aspect sound like good things in my book, as they might suggest less vulgarity this time around.

I really hope not.

The sad truth of the matter is that these films ride on the success of catering to the lowest common denominator of casual moviegoers instead of fans, which leads to the human cast being the main focus since that's who general audiences want to see. Oh, they also want to see the robots too, but to them, the robots are "whats" rather than "whos". Plot devices, pretty special effects, and decoration rather than people. The non-speaking Decepticons being portrayed as savage monsters also doesn't help things.

Or even something like Masterforce, which was another series that used its humans elegantly and competently.

The lack of humans in that show seemed to be okay for most people, but there were a lot of other things that people disliked about it at the time that the lack of humans probably didn't matter either way. But since the series was so poorly received back then, Hasbro's never tried a human-less TF TV series ever again.

The closest they ever came back to doing this was with the Omega Keys arc in TF: Prime season 2, as well as the Predacons Rising movie, which were both devoid of human characters and that notion seemed much better received for each.

He said "Beast Machines". Waspinator's flashback shouldn't count.

Finally a full shot of Slug and Drift! However, Stinger's transformation is, not really a transformation.

It counts though.

Not unless the news staff sees it.
