Sequal or Reboot?

[Bayhem]

Unfortunately, a lot of sites/bloggers are reporting TF4 as a re-boot, and calling Bay's decision to re-boot the TF franchise the end of the world. Sigh. They will never learn.

The "end of the world" part was pretty funny.

My advice - stick to legitimate websites like Variety, THR, Coming Soon and Entertainment Weekly, and avoid bloggers. Truth is, these "hateful" film/music blogs are usually created by people with social issues. The only way for them to feel good and powerful is to write nasty articles about celebrities, songs or movies. In real life, they'll never say these things.

And I can assure you that all of them are gonna be in line for "Transformers 4".

Not according to Nelson.

I typed in "Transformers 4" into google news, and pretty much all of the sites say Transformers reboot. Damn. That irritates me. I mean, i know it's not a reboot, thankfully, but still...:head Get your facts straight, sites!

i was first on IGN when i found out the news of TF4, and they had the video of the guy at the toy convention speaking about how the film is a new approach but definately not a reboot, yet in the comments, that news went through one ear and out the other. everyone who was a TF fan commenting was like, i cant believe they are rebooting it! or, Im so happy they are rebooting this! Im just sitting there like, do you people have an inability to hear or read. this video and article clearly state that it is not a reboot, new approach is far from the word reboot.... morons. but anywho!, im all up for a sequal. i think the first films deserve this next trilogy, because despite how popular the first 3 films are and how much i love them, i still dont think the films have given us the best TF movie possible (well, cept for maybe TF1!) there is alot they can improve on, and the way Paramount and Bay talk about the next installment, I think that they know that. im very excited for this

Reboot. New actors, new
characters

Think about it, the comics had a lot of info about other autobots and decepticons before the arrived on earth. This could be a movie about sideswipe, Arcee, devastor etc prior to arriving on earth . Awesome can't wait

Also the Starscram time between 1 & 2

Prequel on Cybertron

Prequel on Cybertron

I wouldnt expect a prequel on Cybertron to ever be a possibility, unless its some Pixar animated film. Creating an entire CGI film with fx just as good as whats shown in the current films, would probably be the most expensive movie ever made. you may argue that Avatar featured an incredibly detailed and large CGI world, but remember that that is a film that was more than a decade in the making. plus, there are many scenes featuring humans and non CGI sets. im assuming humans would be out of the question for TF on Cybertron.

one interesting idea however for it to maybe even be a consideration, would be to film on a physical scaled down model of Cybertron sets and just digitally add characters in. thats what they did with the Hogwarts castle and scenes for nolan's batman films.

True. It would be awesome if it there was a prequel, but like you said much CGI = too expensive.

It's not a re-boot. It's a re-imagination= Transformers from a different point of view & concept.

Good to know that Nelson! It's it is very soon to re boot the whole franchise and start all over again. Any way, very smart choice to re image the movie from a different concept! xDDD

I'm getting so sick of the reboot thing. If I see one more article about it being a reboot...:head These websites need to get their facts straight!
