Lorenzo di Bonaventura Says Transformers: Age of Extinction Isn't A Reboot But A Continuation


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.’”

Transformers: Age of Extinction stars Mark Wahlberg, Jack Reynor, Nicola Peltz, Stanley Tucci, Kelsey Grammer, T.J. Miller, Peter Cullen and Li Bingbing.

Transformers: Age of Extinction opens on June 27th, 2014.
