Director Michael Bay promises to give us a "more cinematic" feel than the ones that have come before.
On the first movie he says, "I wanted the first Transformers to be very suburban and less cool," while filming on the set on Detroit. "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].”
This won't be a reboot either as the director says, "It feels like a new chapter, this movie,” he says. “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.”
The good thing is, we won't be seeing Shia's girly shrieks that have tortured us over the last three outings of the movie as the human cast of the first three movies are totally replaced by new and interesting characters in Mark Wahlberg who plays a wacky inventor and an overly protective father to Tessa, played by Nicola Peltz.
Wahlbergs character starts when he discovers a Transformer and gets drawn into a conflict that has taken it's toll on earth.
“The human element really attracted me,” Wahlberg said," “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.” says the actor who signed on without reading the script.
