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.

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.

I agree, especially the title here.

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?

...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.

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

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

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

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!!!!!

I'm surprised so many are even considering taking the deadpan seriously

It's a sadly neglected form of comedy.

VioMeTriX wrote: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.

Compare transformers movies to transformers animated series and comics but which comics and animated series you should ask beast wars, beast machines, victory force, head masters, generation one, each series is different in its own way with same motive from villain deceptions or predicons want to conquer earth kill off heroes which are maximals and autobots same theme in different series different look by each character and sometimes new names but outcome always remains same bad vs good good conquers evil
