In a recent interview with Yahoo! Movies director
Michael Bay talked about the number of changes in the new film, which sort of a
continuation of the previous films, but also works as the first installment in
a new trilogy.
“It feels like a new chapter, this movie, but it’s not
a reboot. This movie lives in the history of the ‘Transformers’ movies, and
this one starts three years after the last. It feels fresh.”
Bay then adds that this new one although in the same
universe as the previous ones is more serious than the last film:
“I wanted the first Transformers to be very suburban
and less cool. This is a much more
cinematic one. I focused on keeping this one slick. There won’t be any
goofiness in this one. We went a bit too goofy [on the last one].”
The new film has an entire new cast, like Mark
Wahlberg, who signed on without even reading the script and plays a “wacky
inventor and overprotective father to Peltz’s Tessa.” And part of that comes into play when he’s
“distracted by the arrival of his daughter’s race driver boyfriend, played by
Jack Reynor.”
Here is Wahlberg’s reason for joining the film:
“The human
element really attracted me. I had a
great time working with him on ‘Pain & Gain’, and he asked me to come back,
so I said, ‘Absolutely.’ The idea of playing a dad to a teenage girl – those
are issues I’ll be having to deal with sooner rather than later, whether I like
it or not.”
Bay, who is more known for his explosion and shootings,
and is surprisingly using more practical effects then CGI:
“Yeah baby, It’s kind of a dying art in Hollywood –
nobody does anything for real. John’s one of the grand masters of physical
effects. He can’t hear right because he’s done so many explosions. We still
hold the Guinness World Record for Pearl Harbor: John rigged 350 bombs in seven
seconds. Nowadays I think you would fake a lot of it.”
