Earlier last week we've reported that Transformers 5 was promised by Paramount Pictures Senior Vice President Edward Ryan in 2016 (here) at the TF4 Screening during CineEurope 2014 Barcelona. But NOT SO FAST reports ign.com. According to IGN's Roth Cornet who spoke with Transformers: Age of Extinction producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura the release date seems to be inaccurate. In fact the next movie might not even be part of a trilogy!

"We're not planning on doing a trilogy," he told Roth. "We're not not planning on doing a trilogy. It's really a one-movie-at-a-time philosophy. It feels a little arrogant. Both [director Michael Bay] and I feel like it's a little arrogant of us to presume success each time. We know our fans are really out there and they're going to come, so we presume a certain amount of success. But all the energy will be thrown into the next movie, if we're lucky enough to get there."

unless the next one is a reboot its going to be a sequel or prequel theres no way around it. You could do a spin off but even that would be part of the established story line.

I think they're going to do like they said the 1st time. They're just backtracking now to not look like overconfident blowhards. Saying that they were ready to make a trilogy made it sound like they were taking the success of this film for granted (and why shouldn't they?) and the next 2 are a foregone conclusion.

Oh PUH-LEEEES, the movie's aren't going to end. They're a summer blockbuster that always makes money with the masses. No way they're going to stop making them. (I mean this all in a depressive sense, mainly because I really dislike the movies)

My hope is just that they'll get a new director for the next bunch of them.

The whole reason i am a transformers fan is because of the films. The new film looks like the best based off of the trailers stills set videos, and even toys.And furthermore the movies all look great with bay directing them. Again my opinion.

What's so surprising about them saying that AOE does not necessarily start another trilogy. This news doesn't suggest anything so different from how they handled the first three. They made small connections in order to link three different plots about Decepticon's trying to destroy the world. The connections were simple enough for them to not worry so much about tying things together. That's probably how they'll approach any sequel to Age Of Extinction.

Yeah that's horse poo considering how this movie ends. It's literally the first act.
And leaves it needing a next film to end the over all plot.

Collider has recently posted an interview they had with Transformers:Age of Extinction actress Li Bingbing where they talked about what was it like to work with Michael Bay, the way Bay wanted her to look in the film,
What was it like doing the action sequences, Deleted scenes, and much more.

That was irritating and painful to watch. And boring.

Which one shows a death? The clip or one of the TV spots?

The very end of the last TV spot showed Grimlock snapping someone in half with his jaws. Not sure who, it was just a mess of parts and green fluid. (Made me think it was Crosshairs for a second, but that wouldn't make sense.)

I wish Bee would keep that '69 Camaro alt mode. Looks so much better than the new one.

Off to see AOE! Hope it's good, or at least better than the first three. :)

I'm pretty sure that's just a Vehicon.

The Chevy Trax bots aren't Vehicons.

This is an AOE Vehicon:
