Michael Bay says there won’t be any ‘goofiness’ in Transformers: Age of Extinction.
Bay is back in the director’s chair for the fourth film in the Transformers franchise; a film that will see the franchise go in a new direction.
Bay says that there will be a slicker feel to this film as he reunites with actor Mark Wahlberg for their first project together since Pain & Gain.
Speaking to Yahoo UK, the director said: "I wanted the first Transformers to be very suburban and less cool. This is a much more cinematic one.
“I focused on keeping this one slick. There won’t be any goofiness in this one. We went a bit too goofy [on the last one].”
Bay went on to say that he didn’t feel that this film was a reboot of the popular franchise, but merely a new chapter.
“It feels like a new chapter, this movie. But it’s not a reboot. This movie lives in the history of the ‘Transformers’ movies, and this one starts three years after the last. It feels fresh.”
Wahlberg is joined by an all-star cast as Stanley Tucci, Kelsey Grammer, Sophia Myles and Jack Reynor are all on board.
Age of Extinction will come three years after the success of Transformers: Dark of the Moon and looks set to take the franchise in a new direction.
Transformers: Age of Extinction is released 10th July 2014.
