DMSL wrote: The last Transformers movie was horrible, ihe story was as thin as paper, we have a "Decepticon" working with humans and instead of Trasnforming or converting the robots suddenly fall apart like Lego and rematerialize in another form. That is not what Transformers is about. I have seen the movie once and never want to see it again. It was ROTF all over again. This new movie, although i hope it is good, will probably be the last nail in the coffin.

The word "Decepticon" was never used in the movie to directly refer to either Galvatron or the rest of the KSI Prototypes.

In fact, Galvatron and all the Prototypes were given a KSI insignia in the "Ultimate Transformers Showdown", while all the Cons from the first three films got a logo and Lockdown just had a "TF4" logo.

It's like if Darth Vader approached a group of bounty hunters and asked them to fight for him sure Vader would be leading them but their not part of the Empire.

Oh I know and I didn't say that in my last statement, now it's more of a case of:

Galvatron: I need an army!

*sees the ksi drones*

Galvatron: meh they'll do, they will be enough to beat five autobots and a few humans up. Not like Optimus is going to find some other cybertonians around here that have dinosaur alt modes that could tear apart almost anything...

*sees the dinobots*

Galvatron: well I'm going to see you guys later in the sequel...

Next year Superbowl 51 (or LI or whatever they will call it) 2/5/17 -mark it on your calendar if you want to see a teaser for TF5.

But you never know

Stuartmaximus wrote:nah i think we'll see a teaser out long before then!(i'm now thinking maybe at Botcon? or whatever event it is that's coming up later on in the year) coz remember....with The Force Awakens, a teaser came out a YEAR before the actual film came out! now that's not to say that we may not see a FULL trailer drop at the next Superbowl.

a franchise first UK shoot could bring with it significant benefits in the shape of the UK tax credit should the production hit the minimum spend threshold.

Iceland also offers an enticing incentive for inward investment productions.

Some UK studio work on the film is a possibility, but the production is not yet booked into one of the major facilities, according to sources.

Paramount has its sights set on a summer shoot for the Michael Bay-directed film, having already announced a US release date of June 23, 2017.

The studio may also be lining up repeat visits to the UK, according to sources, with additional Transformers films due to be released in 2018 - a Bumblebee spinoff - and 2019.

Director Michael Bay’s “Transformers 5″ will shoot this summer in Detroit, the Michigan Film & Digital Media Office announced today.

The news comes as a result of a restructured incentive agreement with Paramount Pictures that will save the state $21 million.

The big-budget sequel is expected to inject $80 million into the Michigan economy and hire 850 cast and crew members, 450 of which will be state residents. In addition, about 700 extras will be needed.

I thought username changes were forbidden on Seibertron.

The Michigan legislature eliminated the film office incentive program last summer, meaning the state can no longer into into new agreements. However, the Michigan Film & Digital Media Office was able to reallocate incentives from other approved Paramount projects into a single deal for “Transformers 5.”

Transformers 5, directed by Michael Bay and starring Mark Wahlberg and Peter Cullen, is expected to film in part at the Michigan Motion Picture Studios in Pontiac beginning this summer, along with several other locations across the state.

“They have filmed several Transformers productions (at the Michigan Motion Picture Studios) in the past, and I expect they would utilize some of the same locations,” says Jenell Leonard, commissioner of the Michigan Film and Digital Media Office, formerly the Michigan Film Office. “However, all production locations are tentative and fluid.”

Leonard says the film’s production will use Paramount Pictures’ last planned Michigan tax credit funds. She says even though the film tax incentive was cut last July, the state must honor existing deals with studios, like a multi-project agreement with Paramount.

She says Paramount offered to return half of a $42 million planned tax credit that was allotted for multiple films to the state. Doing so allowed the studio to allocate the other $21 million exclusively to Transformers 5.

“Paramount came to the table and said if they could apply half of their encumbered incentive dollars to Transformers, they would be willing to give the other half of the $21 million dollars back to the state,” Leonard says.

Michigan’s film tax credit program took the form of reimbursements awarded after filming was complete.

Leonard expects that production on Transformers 5 will start in the summer and will end in the fall. Transformers 5 will be the fourth film in the series shot in Michigan, joining the original 2007 film as well as Transformers: Dark of the Moon and last year’s Age of Extinction. In Age of Extinction, Paramount created a set in downtown Detroit on the site of the former Statler Hotel that was designed to look like Hong Kong.

Studios must prove they are spending their dollars in Michigan and hiring Michiganders in an independent audit conducted before filming, and be in regular communications with the Michigan Film and Digital Media Office.

Studios are required to hire Michigan residents and out-of-towners at a 1:1 ratio. Leonard says the Transformers 5 shoot will create around 228 full-time job equivalents.

“Studios submit a line-item budget with how many hires they would have and submit the script for review,“ Leonard says. “We base the incentive they would be eligible for off that application process.”

but he certainly couldn't do worse than Bay! with Transformers. & YES! of course it's never gonna happen! but i wouldn't say no to seeing what a Transformers movie directed by Uwe Boll would look like, by comparison.
