Transformers

Starring Mark Wahlberg...

Hey, Optimus Prime — say hello to your motherboard for me.

Michael Bay has officially confirmed that the star of Transformers 4 will be Mark Wahlberg, who worked with the director on his upcoming crime tale Pain and Gain.

The Transformers sequel, planned to debut June 27, 2014, also has a sleek new logo based on the Decepticon insignia.

“Mark is awesome. We had a blast working on Pain and Gain and I’m so fired up to be back working with him. An actor of his caliber is the perfect guy to re-invigorate the franchise and carry on the Transformers’ legacy,” said Bay.

Last week, the director denied rumors that he was looking to have Wahlberg take over the blockbuster robot franchise from Shia Labeouf, and said he was considering him for another film — not in the Transformers franchise.

Then he followed up on his website, saying … maybe that wasn’t such a bad idea after all: “Let’s say some ideas are gaining traction with me and my writer – so I’m here to say thanks internet chatter.”

I like Mark Wahlberg but you couldn't pay me to watch another Michael Bay Transformers movie after how shitty the last two were.

I just remember the last one being way too long. I thought all the destruction scenes were cool, but holy shit that movie was like 2.5 hours and I couldn't wait for it to end. That Rosie girl ended up being a lot cuter than I thought she was gonna be.

The third one stole the majority of it's plot AND the ending from The End of Time Part 2.

It worked much better with Time Lords.

I wasn't foolish enough to watch the sequels after the first one. The Marky Mark/No Shia Lapouffy factor makes me interested. Michael Bay has directed a few movies I enjoy (Bad Boys/The Rock/Armageddon) so I'm gonna let him slide.

I actually really liked the first Transformers movie. And not just because of Megan Fox, believe it or not (she was in the second one too and I hated that).

2 and 3 I really struggled to get through though. They were basically the same damn movie. And they both lasted at least half an hour too long.
