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.

At first I was excited. Now, a great big cloud of pessimism hovers over me. I've lost interest.

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!!!!

there needs to be humans in Transformers, as annoying as some might be if not why would they need to be robots in disguise

They are unimportant. The only important thing is the giant robots pounding on one another. If the human acting is good kudos to Mr Bay, but it is just so unimportant to me.
BTW what does my vanity have to do with my previous post?

Like Marky Mark wasnt bad enough...
Just bring back Shia LaBeouf and make sure theres a bottle of Johnnie Walker on the set. Maybe do a scene in a local bar with a good drunken fight scene. Thats about the only time I wanna see humans in the movie.

Fist bump
Though I will probably enjoy the robots clobering the snot out of one another.

Yeah G1 really annoyed me the way the humans like Spike and Sparkplug kept getting in the way. And then they introduced those bloody Nebulons and they was getting all up in the Transformers business.

This is the Bayverse here, guys. The humans are the focal point of these films.

Do we have to like that they are? No way. But are they still what these films revolve around? Sadly yes.
These films treat the title characters not as characters but as background effects and plot devices, which is how it's been done and is likely to remain that way if these films continue to be made as they have always been.
I don't like it either, but that's the way these films are. Movies 1-3 were essentially "The Adventures of Sam Witwicky Featuring some robots called the Transformers". I expect there to be little difference with the fourth one sans Mark Walhberg's character replacing Sam as the star.

What does the acting have to do with the character's importance to the plot? A main character will be a main character, no matter how good or bad an actor it has.

Then say that instead of dismissing a human's importance - period.

There should be a poll by Seibertron members regarding the matter.
Like:
all in favor of with humans
all in favor of without humans
or:
all in favor of story centered around the TFs
all in favor of story centered around the humans

Every plot line in pop culture has been done to death anyway. It's not just Transformers.
all the main characters are dead or being drastically overhauled.
The only "main characters" were Sam and his two girlfriends. Optimus and Bumblebee (and sometimes Megatron) were the main 'bots throughout each movie, with The Fallen and Sentinel Prime jumping in on the sequels. Everyone else had a supporting role.
At this point, given a choice between TF4, Star Wars: Ep VII or a vasectomy without anesthesia... I'll take the vasectomy and then go see the upcoming crap-fest that will be Ep. VII.
Sheesh, how graphic.

Yea, but see, I'm not saying the G1 cartoon show was better (which it is), yet you bring up a good point. Even with the humans and nebulans, they were still pretty much background characters when compared to the Cybertronians. The nebulans even began as regular fleshlings, but then got interesting by combining them as headmasters and targetmasters. Anyway, my point is that humans are boring parts of the movie that I don't care about and shouldn't be such a large focus. Yea, obviously this isn't going to change, I wasn't expecting it. This is how I am so accurately able to predict the next movie sucking. It will focus on the humans.
Course there are numerous other reasons, but whatever.

So honestly, a 4th movie serves no other point than to reduce once respectable fellow fans to ass-scratching, knuckle dragging neanderthals squabbling over the most inane issues possible and embarrassing themselves and the rest of the fan community in the eyes of the rest of the world. At this point, given a choice between TF4, Star Wars: Ep VII or a vasectomy without anesthesia... I'll take the vasectomy and then go see the upcoming crap-fest that will be Ep. VII.
