After enduring three "Transformers" film with Shia Labeouf, Michael Bay has made a new thunder buddy, Mark Wahlberg. Bay just finished working with the actor for his new low-budget action film "Pain and Gain," which also stars Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. A few weeks ago reports stated that Wahlberg was meeting with Bay about another project, and the internet quickly assumed it was for a role in "Transformers 4" but Bay denied that speculation, saying it was for an entirely different film. Today, Bay posted a message on his official website to let fans know that he had a change of heart.
"I squashed a rumor that was on the internet last week. It was about Mark Walhberg. Mark was rumored to be starring in Transformers 4. We are working on another movie together, not T4. I had such a great time working with Mark on Pain and Gain, and he gave such a great performance – well let’s say that very internet chatter gave me some ideas. We are at the inception of our story process right now on T4. Let’s say some ideas are gaining traction with me and my writer – so I’m here to say thanks internet chatter." - Michael Bay.com
