Here comes the Boom! Ready or not, here comes Michael Bay and his never-ending thirst to blow stuff up. Yesterday, he and his crew set off explosives on McCormick Place Square and S Martin Luther King Jr Drive. That location had been given an Hong Kong makeover. None of the stars from the film were on hand, but plenty of extras were seen running in a panic.

Starring in "Transformers 4" is Jack Reynor in the starring role of a race car driver. The talented and beautiful Nicola Peltz has been cast in the female lead role of Reynor's girlfriend. Mark Wahlberg has signed on to play Nicola's father Flynn Vincent. Sophia Myles will play a major role as a scientist. Peter Cullen returns as the voice of Optimus Prime, and Glenn Morshower reprises his role as General Morshower. Kelsey Grammer was recently cast as the lead villain named "Harold Attinger". Directors Guild of America DGA Award winner Michael Bay will return to direct his fourth installment of the film series from a screenplay written by Ehren Kruger.

TRANSFORMERS 4 will be directed by Michael Bay, from a script written by Ehren Kruger. The cast includes: Mark Wahlberg, Kelsey Grammar, Nicola Peltz, Stanley Tucci and Jack Reynor. Set for release on June 27th, 2014!

Does anybody even care about this movie? Who is going to bother seeing this?

Will not be happy until Bay and Joel Schumacher team up as co directors. I want to feel two hours of real explosions which turn my theatre to dust.
