Transformers 4 may film in Bangkok, Thailand

Thailand,an interesting place to be shoot

If the movie sucks then im gonna bang my kok on it.

If they shoot here I'm almost certain there will be Dick jokes

And the world breathed a sigh of relief.

Seems cool to me...Hopefully we will have fast paced action battles their!

So Thailand's Board of Tourism invited a BUNCH of film executives, one of which happens to be involved with Transformers to EXPLORE, the POSSIBILITY of filming there.

It was a free trip to Thailand, nothing more, doesn't mean they are going to film there... Just an excuse to go see some pretty places for free, of course they'll always dangle that carrot... Oh we might film here, like I might actually buy a timeshare, if you catch my drift.

TF4: The Hangover jokes ensue.

So, will one of the new Decepticons be sporting a Tyson Tatoo?

Bah-dum-tssss....

And then died of fear

"The event also showed a very early brief CG-animated preview of the 2014 planned movie release Ninja Turtles from producer Michael Bay, which drew much applause"

Holla! City of Squallla!

But I can see car chases like in HANGOVER 2 occurring quite frequently, with bridges and canals and rooftops. It should be cool.

Well, if they could get Tony Jaa and Jeeja Vismistananda (see 2008's Chocolate) in on this, since it is Thailand, with Wahlberg AND Baysplosions, that might actually make the lack of plausable script a non-issue. That's all I need. Lots of #$$ kicking, actual Transformers, and explosions. No talking.

Deep Wang Bak.

cant wait for the 3 Arcee shemale 'twins' to show up

Bay is only producing TMNT, he's NOT directing it

TF4 in Thailand?

One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
Can't be too careful with your company

Interesting to see how this plays out.

Krung Thep Maha Nakhon

My only question is why.......

"No facetaker, too beaucoup!"

If it's not news, why did it get front paged?

NO ONE goes to Thailand to sight-see. They go there to bone little kids.

I'm not saying that that's why they're there.

I'm not saying that that's NOT why they're there.

I'm just saying.

Oh, I can see it now, Bumblebee stuck in traffic on Sukhumvit Road...by the way Bay, any TF character with distinct red coloring may not be popular if there's a political protest going on!
Hey, didn't Bay say he was gonna bring TF4 into space or some crap?

Nice.

Hope Bumblebee does not meet a You know Who.

Probably because a scene might take place in Thailand? Or they need to use Thailand as a double for another city? Or use it as a backdrop for some background plates? That's...that's usually how filming works.

With any luck it'll be something robot-related, rather than "Teenage boy and teenage girl character spend their class trip there".

555! I thought that the Arcee twins had strangely large Adams Apples....

Hopefully it's just a scene or 2 that's shot there. Not the whole movie.

Poor admin judgement? It's an article written by the same people who not only has an article called "How Zac Efron packs on muscle", but promotes it as an editors choice. It is a rumour about something that a tabloid press speculates MIGHT happen to get more viewers, not news.

News is reporting facts - this is speculation.

News is rumors as well. Look at what happened with Wahlberg.

No it's not - there is an obvious distinction. There is a reason why newspapers report on news and tabloids on rumours.

Just because some rumours are later proven true (and at that point becomes news if they have any newsvalue) doesn't mean that all rumours should be treated as if they are true and newsworthy - most of them are made up.

In this story all we know is that one person who is involved in finding a location for his studio attended a sales meeting onsite, in a group of other people responsible for the exact same things, but for other studios and other countries. It doesn't mention any outcome of that meeting - thats pure fiction at this point.

Nor does it mention any of the other locations that he has visited for similar meetings, both now and in the past.

This is unsubstantiated to the umpteenth degree - it is not news.

You can disagree with me if you like - but that won't change the fact that you are wrong in this regard.

The forum is titled 'News and Rumors'.

But why are we even questioning this? Technically, it violates rule #6.

Not at all - I don't disagree at all with it being frontpaged - I merely disagree with it being news as opposed to a rumour. Wether or not it should be frontpaged is neither here or there both news and rumours should be - I just point out that there is a difference between the two.
