Whatever. I'm so close to giving up on the whole Transformers movie thing anyway.

Probably ... her younger sister however ...
So two Aussie chicks in this one. Making up for the lack of an Australian actress in the third film then.

Unless he plans on combining the new cast with the old cast in TF6 then you can guarantee the bots/cons will only get about 10 minutes screen time from TF6 onward.
Interview bit.
TMZ: So Michael, let’s talk about the fact that… you know.. you had couple of your Transformers Stars… you know… have some not-so-kind-things to say.
Michael: Listen guys, you got to understand, fame is very hard on young people. It’s… I kind of helped raise Shia for three movies. And it’s… it’s really tough. Fame is a very rough thing. And you know Shia LaBeouf is a great, great guy. He’s a great actor. And I have nothing but respect for him.
TMZ: Did you take offense or did it hurt when he said…
Michael: No, No.
TMZ: …His comment about not enough creativity doing these big blockbusters?
Michael: What he’s saying is he wants to be taken seriously. And sometimes when you’re in a blockbuster, people don’t take you seriously. You know? I think that’s what he’s really saying. He’s going through more of a smaller role.
TMZ: He’s in his Art House Stage now.
Michael: You know… listen… he’s only 26.
TMZ: So he will be back?
Michael: He will be back.

I read that more as a "he'll be back in the limelight doing blockbusters" or working with Bay again, not necessarily back in TFs ... But who knows what he meant. Bay isn't exactly known for being honest about anything haha

Buster was the younger Witwicky brother in Marvel. He was the older bro in Dreamwave.Dammitman wrote:I can see Mark as Sam's big brother Buster (see original Marvel comics) but let's face it.

Either way, I have a feeling they'll change his name from Buster to something else. They turned Spike into Sam, probably to make the character sound more "normal." Or, they might preserve Buster as a nickname or something.

The Witwickys' story is practically done, and using another one kinda goes against the whole "fresh take with new characters" ordeal.

In what DreamWave comic did Buster appear? I remember Spike, but not Buster.

He was mentioned in some of the earlier ones, and appeared toward the end talking to Marissa Faireborn in his office in D.C. His face was obscured a bit, though, cutting off the top half.Rodimus Prime wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Buster was the younger Witwicky brother in Marvel.

Good point.
But then again, Bay said DOTM was his last movie, and yet here he is for TF4. The "fresh take with new characters" thing could mean anything, and there's nothing to stop them from going back on their word and giving us more of the same.
Technically, even if Wahlberg played Sam's older brother, it would still be considered a fresh take as long as the parents and Sam aren't featured in the movie. It'd be a new direction, just with another Witwicky.
Just my two cents' worth.

Michael Bay wrote:Actor announcement on some web sites last night about Transformer cast joining Mark are completely false.
Those of you who have been keeping up with the Transformers 4 casting news as it trickles out will likely remember the news from last month that director Michael Bay had narrowed down his list of potential young actresses and actors to play Wahlberg's daughter and her boyfriend. twitch is reporting the selections have been made and we can look forward to seeing Nicola Peltz and Brenton Thwaites in these roles. According to twitch Thwaites will play "Peltz's biker boyfriend", though initial casting reports stated the character was a race car driver from Texas.

Guess we'll have to wait and see how they do.

You really expected anything else? At least these two look more like high school-aged teenagers this time.PrymeStriker wrote:Gee, more teen demographic appeal. Yay.
Plus, they're relatively unknowns. They have more of a clean slate to start off with than Shia did, so we'll get to see them in these roles without too much of their past work to base them on.

Will that mean the wreckers are back?
The girl is pretty but I hope her role is actually a good role not just eye candy.
And as for the male character. I really dont know.

Wow, sensible sentence, I was going to post "And let the bitching begin!"
But it already started. And please don't start with the whole "it should be about the robots not the humans". Are you suffering from memory loss? You said that with movie I, movie II, movie III.
That whine should be conserved for a new Transformers movie series with another director.
wait, I'm ranting about rants.... sigh, IRONMAN 3 in a few months!!!!
