We have Transformer 4 news directly from the man himself. Michael Bay talked up the fourth film in an interview today. Here's what he had to say:
“It’s not a reboot," said "The Michael", making sure we still know that no one from the first movie (human wise) will be back. "That’s maybe the wrong word. I don’t want to say 'reboot' because then people will think we’re doing a 'Spider-Man' and starting from the beginning. We’re not. We’re taking the story that you’ve seen — the story we’ve told in three movies already — and we’re taking it in a new direction. But we’re leaving those three as the history. It all still counts... We’re moving on to something different.”
He also stated that we may see the Transformers doing the explosion thingy in a vacuum (like space).
"That feels like the way to go, doesn’t it?" says Bay. "I want to go a little off [the planet] but I don’t want to go too sci-fi. I still want to keep it grounded."
Yeah, transforming robots in space, that sounds grounded. Any who, I have enjoyed the Transformer movies. That goes against the hard line stance of most fanboys who love to hate on "The Bay". I will readily admit that the human aspect has never impressed me very much, while the Transformers themselves (at least in my eyes) never get enough screen time. I have always wanted a film that showed the War on Cybertron and nothing else. Those few scenes in the three current movies have just made me want more. Come on Bay, make it happen. Although he has also said that the budget for the fourth film will be about 30 million less than the last one, that clocked in at at around 200 million. We'll see if he can take Optimus to space on less cash (much like NASA the past few years). He'll certainly find a way to make things blowing up. Keep your head down, we have more incoming, so stay tuned!!!
