Hot on the heels of Michael Bay interviews, another famous name from the Transformers Live Action Movie Franchise is talking about Transformers 4… and 5.
Actor Glenn Morshower had this to say to
Examiner last weekend at the Con X KC in Kansas City, Missouri:
"After I did the opening ceremonies for the ride, Steven Spielberg walked up to me and chatted and said 'You know we've got you set to do the fourth one and probably the fifth one on the heels of that," said on how he was approached about the new sequels. "So, I guess in December we are on our way to making 4 and 5."Back-To-Back shooting for movies (especially sequels) is not uncommon; famous examples being Back To The Future 2 & 3, The Matrix Reloaded & The Matrix Revolutions as well as Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 & Part 2.
This latest development sheds a light on the
statement made by Michael Bay himself, where he said Transformers 4 is "probably" the last Transformers movie he directs.

Autobase Aichi on Facebook has posted a selection of photos of a new display in Bic Camera stores advertising various Transformers releases from Takara-Tomy for the remaining part of the year. On display we have various releases including:
Masterpiece Convoy Version 2 (Out Now)
Masterpiece Lambor (Sideswipe)
Masterpiece Red Alert
Transformers United EX Grim Master Prime Mode
Transformers Prime Arms Micron Wheeljack
Transformers Prime Arms Master Optimus Prime
Transformers Prime Arms Micron Orion Pax (a Bic Camera exclusive)
This new display reveals a few things we did not know about these releases, such as the fact that Arms Micron Wheeljack will come with both an Arms Micron sword and one of the normal swords from the Hasbro release. We've also got a clear look at the Bic Camera exclusive Orion Pax, the Takara-Tomy release of the Deluxe class Optimus Prime from the First Edition two pack. These pictures reveal that Orion will feature the regular "masked" Optimus head rather than a retooled head, and Decepticon symbols.
Check out all the pictures by opening the link above or read on with this story to check out our mirror.

Once again, AT&T's U-Verse listings come through with a slightly expanded description for an upcoming episode of Transformers Prime. This upcoming episode, Hard Knocks, seems to be the third part of an arc that began with yesterday's new episode Legacy - and it promises a good amount of Knock Out and Stascream action for all you fans of these two characters.
Check out the full description below - spoiler tagged for your protection:
When their desperate efforts to acquire the coveted Omega Keys take an unexpected and frantic turn, Knock Out is able to take advantage of the power of sound while Starscream uses his efforts to focus on the power of hyper-speed.

More Transformers 4 news pouring in. Michael Bay recently spoke with the Huffington Post and revealed that the series will pick up where it left off in Chicago -- with Peter Cullen back as the voice of Optimus Prime. Mr. Bay also addressed the number one question people ask about him these days concerning the Transformers Franchise; “Why is he returning for Transformers 4?”
Why do you want to do it? I was under the impression that you were done after "Transformers 3"?
I thought I was done. Then the ride came out [at Universal Studios Hollywood] and the two-and-a-half-hour lines. And then you're thinking, Oh my God, someone's going to take this over. And you start doing a lot of soul-searching. Like, OK, I'm about to do a little movie, "Pain & Gain" ... and the studio says they want to restart the franchise. And someone could come in here and screw it up, you know? So I'm thinking that if I do this last one, we set it on a new footing, we change a lot of things -- but we keep the history of the three in place. But we broaden it so it can be set up and be carried on -- it would have a better chance for survival, I guess. You know?
So with the plot of "Transformers 4," it's not like the other three movies didn't happen? It's not a reboot?
No. We're basically taking from the history of where it was -- or where we left it in Chicago. And we're going to carry it on from there.
I spoke to Peter Cullen at Comic Con earlier this year. He said he doesn't know if he's going to be back as the voice of Optimus Prime or not. He'll be back, right?
Of course! Of course.You can read the entire interview at
Huffington Post.
