[h=1]‘Transformers 4′ Viral Posters & Mark Wahlberg Interview[/h]
Transformers: Age of Extinctionis the next big mega-blockbuster slated for summer 2014, and Paramount’s marketing campaign for Michael Bay’s fourth installment in the Transformers franchise is gearing up slow but surely, in response to the approaching release date.
Today we have two pieces of promotional material that really converge on a central theme of the new film: namely, how the world has been transformed (pun) by the events of Transformers: Dark of the Moon, to the point that both Autobots and Decepticons are now considered enemies of humanity.
First, take a look at some new Transformers 4 viral posters, which follow in the vein of previous viral marketing materials by demonstrating humanity’s disdain for the Transformers. The viral campaign creates a nice parallel between the fictional world of the film, and the realities of a post-9/11 world, in which citizen vigilance is a proposed deterrent to terrorism.
Poor Optimus and Bumblebee… three movies listening to Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) scream at them – three films of saving humanity’s collective butts – and what do they get? Their handsome robot faces plastered on posters like wanted criminals. No bueno. If you want to see more of the Earth’s faux campaign against the Cybertronian “invaders,” then head over to the Transformers Are Dangerous viral site – or check out the recently-released viral video, below.
Previous Transformers 4 trailers have demonstrated that human characters like Harold Attinger (Kelsey Grammer) and would-be Transformer designer, Joshua (Stanley Tucci), definitely have it out for the Autobots; however, that mistrust won’t be a shield against newer, more dangerous Decepticon foes like Lockdown and Galvatron. In fact, when the bad guys DO show up to start tearing up the globe, Optimus Prime and his soldiers are going to be hard-pressed to lend mankind a helping hand.
Transformers 4 star Mark Wahlberg sat down with IGN to talk briefly about the changed world we find ourselves in at the beginning of Age of Extinction, and why the human/robot relations in the film are more important than ever. Watch that conversation, below:

[h=1]‘Transformers: Age of Extinction’: Meet Lockdown & the Dinobots[/h]
One of the most anticipated aspects of Transformers: Age of Extinction is the Dinobots – Transformers that change into dinosaurs rather than automobiles – since they are new to the Transformers film franchise.
Early trailers and posters largely focused on well-known Transformers like Optimus Prime and Bumblebee (in addition to human stars Mark Wahlberg and Stanley Tucci), but as the premiere date for Age of Extinction inches closer, fans are getting more glimpses of the Dinobots.
With less than two weeks until the film hits theaters, the most recent promos for Age of Extinction focus on the movie’s villain, Lockdown, as well as more Dinobots in action.
In a spot (above), fans are given a more in depth look into the character Lockdown, who, along with Galvatron, will be one of the main villains in the movie. Within the spot, Lockdown is shown emerging from the water in a marsh, standing over Optimus Prime, and aboard one of the enemy ships seen causing massive destruction in all the film’s promos.
The Lockdown spot also features more footage of the Dinobots in action, including a scene in which Optimus Prime rides Grimlock, who snaps a baddie to pieces with his jaws, while Slug, a triceratops Dinobot, is running in the background.
Another promo, released exclusively by Crave Online, depicts more Dinobots than seen in any previous promos. One, who looks to be Grimlock, is shown roaring in Tucci’s face, and two others – possibly Grimlock and Slug – display their transformations on a bridge while a third flies overhead: Swoop (modeled after a pteranodon).
No matter how little footage has been released of the Dinobots, they remain one of the most intriguing and exciting aspects of Age of Extinction. Even if they are only incorporated into the film near the end, the final climactic scene may take up a significant portion of the movie’s running time – not unlike the Battle for Chicago in Transformers: Dark of the Moon.
Fans may be treated to more Dinobots than they’re expecting once Age of Extinction debuts, or even less given the amount of footage released during marketing. We won’t know exactly until the Age of Extinction is released.

Even with this new footage, however, it’s still difficult to tell how much the Dinobots will actually be featured in the final cut of the film. As speculated previously, they may only appear for the final battle in an attempt to help Optimus Prime save the human race from extinction – a theme repeated in every trailer for Age of Extinction.No matter how little footage has been released of the Dinobots, they remain one of the most intriguing and exciting aspects of Age of Extinction.

[h=1]Michael Bay Responds to ‘Transformers: Age of Extinction’ Critics[/h]
Although Transformers: Age of Extinction has been in theaters for little more than a day, that’s certainly enough time for franchise naysayers to voice their opinions of the film – check out the comments section on our review of the movie for some examples. Age of Extinction’s Rotten Tomatoes rating, a lowly 18 percent (6 percent if only the top critics are concerned) seems to fall in line with the opinions of the detractors, but the movie’s audience rating, 65 percent, seems to agree with our own rating of the movie: 3.5 out of 5 stars.
The director of the Transformers franchise, Michael Bay, has responded to those who were less than impressed by the latest installment of his series featuring the robots in disguise.
Bay replied to the naysayers in an interview with MTV in which he encouraged them to voice their opinions because the argument between critics and fans gives the movie’s opening weekend more drama and makes it more interesting. This conflict can be beneficial in terms of box office sales. (Though it may not need the help since Age of Extinction is our prediction for top of the box office this weekend.)
Read Bay’s quote
Our interview with Lorenzo di Bonaventura, a producer on Age of Extinction who has worked with Bay on many occasion, shed more light on the future of the franchise: no changes of director have been planned and the 2016 release date might be a bit too optimistic – perhaps 2017 would be a more realistic goal for the fifth film.
Should Bay direct Transformers 5, he may be able to take fan criticism into account and use it to fuel his creative process, or he’ll continue to make the movies the way he sees fit. Either way, it’s clear that Bay will continue to let the haters hate.

Read Bay’s quote
[Naysayers] love to hate, and I don’t care; let them hate. They’re still going to see the movie! I think it’s good to get a little tension. Very good.
Bay also said that criticism can be beneficial feedback for his creative process. Although it may have bothered him before, he now uses negative comments to help himself improve:
I used to get bothered by it, but I think it’s good to get the dialogue going. It makes me think, and it keeps me on my toes, so it’s good.
However, whether Bay will have the chance to exercise what he’s learned through the production and release of Age of Extinction has yet to be seen. In an interview promoting the new film, Bay said he wasn’t sure if he would be directing any upcoming Transformers films, despite reports that Paramount planned to release Transformers 5 in 2016.

[h=1]‘Transformers: Age of Extinction’ Submitted for Oscar Consideration by Paramount[/h]
Winter is fully upon us, which means that the major film studios are currently putting the race for summer box office dollars on the back burner in favor of targeting prestige at the 2015 Oscars. For those who are unfamiliar with the awards process, there’s more to it than simply releasing a bunch of war movies, historical dramas and biopics during the winter season. Studios also have to choose a selection of their 2014 films to promote for awards consideration by the Academy and arrange screenings of those features.
20th Century’s Fox’s submissions include David Fincher’s missing person mystery Gone Girl, Ridley Scott’s biblical epic Exodus: Gods and Kings and bittersweet romance The Fault in Our Stars. Disney is submitting recent animated feature Big Hero 6 and upcoming musical adaptation Into the Woods. Meanwhile, Universal is presenting a pair of biopics – Get On Up (starring Chadwick Boseman as James Brown) and Unbroken (starring Jack O’Connell as Louis Zamperini).
Every year there are a choice few blockbuster movies included among the more highbrow fare, but one choice that’s bound to raise a few brows very high is Paramount Pictures‘ submission of Transformers: Age of Extinction for consideration by the Academy. Michael Bay’s latest entry in the long-running franchise about warring robots from space grossed over $1 billion worldwide, but critics looked on it rather less favorably than audiences.
It’s worth noting that Transformers: Age of Extinction isn’t the only highly commercial film being put forward for awards consideration. Fox is submitting both Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and X-Men: Days of Future Past, but both of those movies received high praise in reviews. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is probably one of this year’s strongest contenders for the Best Achievement in Visual Effects award, although nothing is guaranteed with Interstellar and Godzilla also in the mix.
The Academy’s rather snobbish tastes in cinema are widely known enough to have generated a genre all of their own (‘Oscar bait’) and have been both parodied and criticized heavily over the years. When summer blockbuster type movies are nominated they generally only win in technical categories rather than in heavy hitters like Best Picture and Best Director; and if a major blockbuster does win the big awards (as The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King did when it stormed into the 2004 Oscars and won eleven awards), it’s usually a film that has received high amounts of critical acclaim.
Unlike other popcorn movie submissions such as A Million Ways to Die in the West, which is only being submitted for consideration in the categories of Best Original Score and Best Original Song, Transformers: Age of Extinction is being submitted for all categories, including Best Picture. Perhaps after February next year we’ll be referring to Bay’s most recent directorial effort as “the Oscar-winning Transformers: Age of Extinction.”
Transformers: Age of Extinction is now available on DVD and Blu-ray.

Necrokiller:
The only valid thing from his pov he said in the video is AC dead since Black Flag. According to woke police that game was woke too. Welsh man in West Indies. So atleast he's consistent I guess lol -
Necrokiller:
It's based on an actual real life person so I don't think the woke police have a valid case here.
-
XPremiuM:
Meanwhile Ghost of Tsushima PC version is out now. Looks 100 times better than ASS Creed already. -
XPremiuM:
Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!
-
Necrokiller:
Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.
-
SolitarySoldier:
if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff. -
SolitarySoldier:
Phil keeps talking about breaking barriers to gaming, making it accessible on all platforms yada yada, while killing competition and creativity at the same time. the fact that i actually believed him for a second lol
-
SolitarySoldier:
"These changes are not a reflection of the creativity and skill of the talented individuals at these teams or the risks they took to try new things" ... seems to me that's exactly what it is
-
XPremiuM:
Microsoft deserves all the hate they can get. Seriously i can't explain how much i want to curse them out.
-
XPremiuM:
They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.
