Possible same characters... DEFINATE new characters... possible same "continuity"... DEFINATELY new bot designs and vehicles. (basically new toys that are more different than DOTM was to the prior 2). New "story focus"- proceeding beyond the whole Megatron thing, Allspark thing, etc. and treading new waters.
It wasn’t Paramount who used the term, though, it was Bay himself. Also, when Nelson mentioned it, he said that it’s “Transformers from a different point of view and concept”. Whatever that means.
In all honesty, a lot of people have said a lot of things... to the point where discussions like this are pointless.
You... HAVE seen the current 3 movies, yeah? I'll assume you have, so by extension, I'll have to assume your comment is pure sarcasm... because there's no way someone could possibly ask that question with a straight face.
I stand corrected. Thankfully, they're staying away from the franchise and focusing on the most awesome rime cartoon. lol. Yeah, I have. But like I said...nearly two years. Most people usually say TF1 is the best (for some reason...it's not my fav by any stretch) and site that that one had a good story. They don't usually start b*tching until the sequels come up. Well, TF1 had a ton of lead time to get it right so I expect similar (or way better at this point) results.
This. And also this. Despite what a lot of people say, these movies could definitely get a lot worse.
I think A light bulb is shining over my head on this one. bare with me here: Nelson said re-imagining, but it will be a "direct" sequel to Dark Of The Moon. plus, it will be from "a different point of view". Sam and Carly and Lennox aren't coming back. Let's try either these two: The movie opens up with a speech from prime, this time reflecting on the recent events that took place through all 3 movies. Now it's years later and Sam and Carly's son is already grown, and is involved with the transformers. He's a guy who, like sam in the 3rd movie, loves adventure and the transformers provide him that, until a new threat comes along (from probably a made up character) that threatens to turn earth into what Cybertron was, inhabited with only cybertronians. OR A chicago survivor notices the autobots and is amazed at what they did, thus becoming involved with them. This is what I picture for the 4th movie. Someone else, either predictably or randomly, is involved with the tfs. As far as a new enemy goes, it would either be a made up Con, or Unicron. It's a "take it or leave it" type of deal because Bay gave the final "Fuck you" to just about EVERY decepticon and based on the way the died, none of them can return. now a 3rd option is this: Aliens from another planet threaten earth and the autobots must fight with the humans to save "their" planet.
Nice. Ugh--no Unicron or other fake deities, please. Some sort of deus ex machina (e.g. Primus) is necessary to fight such a foe, which makes everyone and everything else in the film purposeless and pointless. George Lucas might be able to pull it off, I doubt if the existing production team could.
Same robots, different humans. The only reason this is a "reimagining" or whatever they want to call it is because the human cast's contracts only went for three movies. Making a movie worse than Revenge of the Fallen would be an astounding achievement.
Wouldn't that be pretty much be all Uwe Bol flicks, Emmerich's Godzilla, Twilight, and almost any Oscar nominee on the Best movie list for 2012? Rotf wasn't great, but there's literally dozens worst. By worst, I mean turn off and give up/walk out the theater in disgust.
It kind of seems like they keep spinning it different ways in the hope that they can find the key words to make different groups happy about Transformers 4 even though there is so much the fan base doesn't agree on. With such vague language later on they can always claim they didn't mislead anyone or build up false hope because it was people just misinterpreted what they said.
