Bay's Transformers 4 Gets A Release Date

Michael Bay told the readers of his official blog that a June 29th 2014 release date is pegged for the next as yet Untitled Transformers Sequel.

First though Bay will start work on his long gestating low budget crime flick "Pain And Gain" starring Mark Wahlberg, Dwayne Johnson, and Ed Harris this April.

"I have just concluded a deal with Paramount to do two movies, but it won't be two 'Transformers.' I will first do 'Pain & Gain' with Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson. Then I will do the next Transformers for release on June 29th 2014".

Meantime--Producer Lorenzo Di Bonaventura says T-4 will probably be something like this June's "G.I. Joe: Retaliation".

He tells MTV that "I think we really are going to do a reboot there. [But] what that's going to be, we don't even know yet… We've got to get a story first. It's a hybrid because there's still continuity going on, and there will be a lot of new cast. Whether there's anybody from the first cast, we don't even know yet. But it's going to be a whole new story. But the characters that would certainly come along would be Optimus and Bumblebee, I'm sure."
