As he continues to work on next year’s Pain & Gain, Michael Bay is slowly but surely switching back into Transformers mode, as he looks to put together the 2014 release, Transformers 4.
Last year it was confirmed that Mark Wahlberg is joining the cast of the film, and now Bay has given a bit more information on where it’s set in the Transformers movie timeline. He called into TMZ Live, and revealed that “the movie is going to continue four years on from the attack in Chicago which was in the last movie”.
Bay added that “it’s going to have the same lineage but go in a full, new different direction and it actually feels really natural how it is going in that direction”.
This is fully in line with what’s been said all along about Transformers 4: it’s connected to the other three, so isn’t a full-on reboot. But it’s also distant enough from them to allow a lot of new elements to be brought in.
