Transformers 4 Will Have New Cast

After Megan Fox, Shia LaBeouf who is one of the main cast of the first 3 Transformers movie wont be in the new movie Transformers 4. Michael Bay has confirmed that Transformers 4 will have a new cast and said that it will taken in a different direction from the first three films. He confirmed reports from earlier this year that said none of the main cast would return.

Despite the new cast and new story line, Bay said the film would not be a reboot. Instead, the fourth film will build on what happened in the first three. "We're taking the story that you've seen - the story we've told in three movies already - and we're taking it in a new direction. But we're leaving those three as history. It all still counts."

Bay, who plans to meet with the film's writer next week, said that taking the story outside of Earth was a possibility. "That feels like the way to go, doesn't it?" he said. "I want to go a little off but I don't want to go too sci-fi. I still want to keep it grounded. That's what works in these movies, that's what makes it accessible." The franchise's most recent film, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, is the fifth highest grossing film worldwide at the box office.

Bay plans to make the fourth installment on a budget of about $165 million, $30 million less than Dark of the Moon had, according to Complex. Like he said while making the previous two films, Bay says Transformers 4 will be his last of the franchise.
