Michael Bay Bails Mid CES Presentation After Teleprompter Fails
One of the biggest blockbusters of 2014 is expected to be Michael Bay's Transformers: Age of Extinction, but while the movie won't be out until late June, audiences were actually going to be shown the first footage earlier today. 
Transformers: Age Of Extinction Footage Likely To Debut During Super Bowl
I’ll be very excited to see what Bay has to show. We know next to nothing about this sequel, as it’s a departure from the trilogy Bay helped launch back in 2007. No Shia LaBeouf. No Megan Fox. No John Turturro getting “urinated” on by an Autobot. 
Michael Bay Attacked With An Air Conditioner On Transformers 4 Set
Actually, assault-with-a-deadly-air-conditioner sounds like a perfect tactic in a Michael Bay movie like Pain & Gain or Bad Boys II, but it was an unplanned part of his real life on the set of Transformers: Age of Extinction, which is currently filming in Hong Kong 
Michael Bay Wants To Direct His Own Self-Financed Horror Film
“I have a great fantasy,” he said, “that I will probably a make a reality – of directing my own self-financed horror movie.” So not only does he want to dive head-first into the genre, he wants to pay for it himself. Given how much money his films have made over the last 18 years, a self-funded Bay film could easily still cost around $20-40 million, but we’ll assume he’s talking about a microbudget film generally associated with The Purge co-producer Jason Blum.

Michael Bay Conquers An Alien Pyramid In Transformers 4 Set Photo
What the hell is that thing on which Bay and his cast are posing? It looks alien in nature. At the same time, it could be a spike on the shoulder or back of a massive Transformer. We have no idea, and likely won't know until we see a trailer for the sequel. 
Transformers 4 Adds Lost's Smoke Monster, Titus Welliver, To Its Human Cast
Titus Welliver has been a successful character for so long that it's unfair to limit him to a single role, but if you were a fan of Lost it's had not to think of his latest news this way: "The Smoke Monster joins the cast of Transformers 4!" According to Deadline Welliver is the latest human to be added to the cast of the giant robot sequel, which is already well underway through production in Detroit, China, and who knows where else. 
Transformers 4 Set Photo Turns Downtown Detroit Into China
The picture you see above was not taken in China or Japan or any other country that has historically built buildings in this style of architecture.

Michael Bay Gets Behind Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Video Game Adaptation
The project is set up at Warner Bros., but Ubisoft will remain involved via Ubisoft Motion Pictures-- they're taking a cue from the Marvel Studios playbook and actually getting in on movie production rather than just selling the rights to their titles.

Michael Bay Teases First Look At Transformer 4's New Bumblebee
I can’t tell if it’s the shadowing in the abvove image or a deliberate modification of the paint scheme, but I live the black/grey tones showing up on the body and hood of this Bumblebee. I can’t wait to see how that is incorporated into the transformed robot structure of the spunky Autobot hero.

New Transformers 4 Rumor Possibly Identifies The New Robots In Disguise

What's been kept a mystery, however, which exploitable bots they would be introducing. 
Transformers 4 Adds Chinese Actress Li Bingbing
We've known for a while now that there will be a significant Chinese influence on Michael Bay's Transformers 4, which is a result of the studio behind it appeasing to the giant Asian market, and now it seems that influence has grown a little stronger today. 
Michael Bay's Sci-Fi Indie Almanac Adds Cast To Enter Its Time Machine
Details are sketchy on Almanac, beyond the central concept of it being a found footage film that centers on the creation of a time machine, and someone eventually uses an almanac to their advantage, which we’ve already made the comparisons to Back to the Future II. |
