Michael Bay’s Transformers: Age
of Extinction is set to be released six months from now, but so far with the
exception of cast, some images from the set and publicity shots from the giant
robots while in vehicle mode, and the promise of Dinobots, we don’t really know
much about what it will be about.
While promoting Jack Ryan: Shadow
Recruit, producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura gave some hints about the production
of the fourth installment in the franchise to The Hollywood News.
“It’s definitely not a reboot.
It’s an interesting question about what you should call it. On a certain level
it’s a continuation of the previous stories, in the fact that it acknowledges
what has transpired before it. It acknowledges in the last movie, the
destruction of Chicago, it’s actually something that carries through the sort
of emotional repercussions of that, not unlike 9/11 has emotional repercussions
in the real world. In a fantasy world there are repercussions to what occurred.
That plays into the movie, moving
forwards with a totally different human cast, who doesn’t know anything about
the other humans, it’s not a reboot, but a continuation, yet you’re continuing
with a new cast and group of characters. It
was a big decision to do that.
We miss our friends that we did
the first three with, and they were great, and they probably could’ve done
more. But the advantage of doing it this way is that it feels almost like a
first movie. It’s a very different dynamic than I’ve seen in a movie, I’m very
curious. I guess Star Wars did that a little bit, but not so close together,
the way we’re doing it.’”
