Transformers 4 Will Be Different, But Not A Reboot, And Cheaper Says Michael Bay
He may also be taking them into outer space
Transformers 4 will be different, but not a reboot, and have a smaller budget, direct꧟or Michael Bay has told the .
Bay has previously gone said that the new movie – which will be his last in the franchise (though probably not the last in the franchise) – will have an all-new cast, but, he now clarifies, “It’s not a reboot… That’s maybe the wrong word. I don’t want to say ‘reboot’ because then people will think we’re doing a Spider-Man and starting from the beginning. We’re not. We’’e 🐽taking the story that you’ve seen — the story we’ve told in three movies already — and we’re taking it in a new direction. But we’re🙈 leaving those three as the history. It all still counts... We’re moving on to something different.”
Bay even hints that one🔜 place the fourth film may go is into outer space (wonder if🌼 the the ?).
“That feels like the way to go, doesn’t it?” teases Bay. “I want to go a little off [the planet] but I don’t want to go too sci-fi.൩ I still want to keep it grounded.&rdqu﷽o; (Grounded? A film series about giant shape-shifting robots? Sounds pretty sci-fi to us already. Even Margaret Atwood would have trouble re-branding that as “speculative fiction”.)
Bay also reveals that the new film will scale back the budget somewhat to around $165 million, about $30 million less than 2011's Transformers: Dark Of The Moon . But these things have a habit of ballooning.
