Transformers 4 Trailer

Now, I was under the impression that the 3rd Transformers movie was the end of the road for Michael Bay and company because that’s what was said, but there was no effin’ way that Paramount was dropping the exploding money generator that is the Transformers franchise, so a part 4 was inevitable. The only question was who will star in it and who will direct it.
With Shia supposedly not coming back for a fourth hurrah, we were fed the rumor that has not been heard from again about Jason Statham starring. Personally I don’t think there should be any humans. I’m ready for a Transformers movie with only Transformers starring in it. You know it’ll never happen but a guy can dream, right?

The next big question was who could possibly replace a genius like Michael Bay? Well pretty much anyone who can make stuff blowing up on-screen look impressive is my answer. Give me McG, give me Roland Emmerich. The list could go on for a little bit. But with Dark of the Moon I was completely used to Bay’s popcorn movie, action directing style so you won’t hear me complaining if he returns, which it certainly sounds like is happening. Worst Previews:

Rumors started flying that a fourth film will soon happen, since Paramount Pictures will never give up such a lucrative franchise. And now comes word from Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner that the company has been in active discussions with Paramount, Steven Spielberg and director Michael Bay to develop “Transformers 4.”

The goal is to make an announcement before the end of the year, so a decision will be made soon. And not only that, but now IGN is reporting that there may be a Transformers 4 and 5 being shot back to back if it all comes to fruition. Color me super happy-excited!

Variety is now reporting that not only is another film being planned, but the studio is considering shooting a fourth and fifth installment back-to-back.“Nothing is set in stone, but screenwriter Ehren Kruger is said to have an idea for the next installments that the studio is high on, and has only begun engaging with writers,”

Shia LaBeouf will not be back, but those rumors about Jason Statham taking over the franchise? The action star is being considered. And according to Variety, Bay very well might be directing these films as well (and not just exec-producing), despite all his past talk about being done after three.

Can Bay truly pass on a franchise whose last movie grossed over a billion dollars? Hell naw man! If Shia is smart he’ll do a couple of passion projects before gearing up for another ride with the robots in disguise.

director Michael Bay added the following confirmation on his official site
There has been a lot of speculation about what I'm going to do next and when or if I will do another Transformers. So let me set the record straight.

I have just concluded a deal with Paramount to do two movies, but it won't be two Transformers.

I will first do 'Pain & Gain' with Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson.

Then I will do the next Transformers for release on June 27, 2014.

:

Director Michael Bay did say that they would do a Transformers 4 if the public welcome the previous movies. Transformers 3 hasn't started to film yet. But I can bet that they're already planning the movie Transformers 4. It does make financial sense for the studios after all: the Transformers movie franchise is like a goose laying golden eggs! Besides the public does not want the Transformers movies to come to an end, nope, we all want more! So we can be pretty sure that Transformers 4 will be developed sooner or later.

But when can we expect the movie Transformers to be released? We have to keep in mind that Director Michael Bay wanted to have a break following Revenge of the Fallen, but that he had to cancel his plan because the studios were pushing for Transformers 3 to be released in 2011. I guess he won't agree to renounce to his break following the third movie. Which probably means that we will have to wait longer... But considering that the studios would want badly to see a new Transformers sequel, we can fairly bet that Transformers 4 would be released no later than 2014.

I think we'll have more information about the movie Transformers 4 next year when the third film will hit theaters.
