Regisseur Michael Bay maakte tijd vrij om even met de LA Times te praten over zijn Transformers 4. Daarbij ging hij kort in op het verhaal en het budget van de film.
Allereerst wenste Bay te benadrukken dat het geen reboot zal zijn: "It's not a reboot," vertelt hij "Thats maybe the wrong word. I dont want to say 'reboot' because then people will think were doing a 'Spider-Man' and starting from the beginning. Were not. Were taking the story that youve seen the story weve told in three movies already and were taking it in a new direction. But were leaving those three as the history. It all still counts... Were moving on to something different.
Het scenario is nog niet af, maar volgens Bay zal de film zich waarschijnlijk deels in de ruimte af gaan spelen. "That feels like the way to go, doesnt it?" vertelt hij. "I want to go a little off [the planet] but I dont want to go too sci-fi. I still want to keep it grounded."
De vierde Transformers-film moet vanaf 26 juni 2014 in de Nederlandse bioscopen te zien zijn.
