Actor Mark Wahlberg has been interviewed by TheDailyBeast.com regarding a variety of topics during which he has elaborated on the backstory of Cade Yeager; his character for Transformers: Age Of Extinction.

"With Transformers: Age of Extinction, did you agree to do that one for your kids?

Well, it was exciting because it was the first time my kids were really interested in a movie I was doing. Any time they see me with a gun, like Contraband or Pain & Gain, they want to see that, too, but they can’t because of the language and all that stuff. But I loved working with Michael Bay, and I thought he had a really interesting way to make it new, different, and fresh. Plus, being in movies that have the potential to be hugely successful allows me to make smaller movies that I’m really passionate about.

What’s going to make this Transformers different? The first one was OK, but then the sequels were a total mess.

It was a tighter script, and its own stand-alone thing. I think the emotional core of it, the human element, is going to be extremely powerful. It’s an ordinary man trying to do extraordinary things to save his daughter and keep her alive—and this boyfriend he didn’t know anything about. He’d had a child when he was in high school and his wife passed away, and the promise he’d made to her was that she wouldn’t date any boys until she graduated and that she’d be at the graduation—because we weren’t due to the pregnancy. So there’s an anchor to it and a realness to it that I like a lot.

I hurt my neck in Hong Kong, and it hasn’t gotten better yet. I just woke up in the morning and couldn’t move, but still had to shoot 10 days of crazy action."

With just 3 weeks for Transformers: Age Of Extinction principle photography left, lead actor Mark Wahlberg has been interviewed by MTV where he discusses his Children's appearance in the film as well as making a brief mention to the Dinobots.

"My kids just did a cameo, just scared people in the street looking up, but they did a great job. I was so nervous because Michael doesn't have time for bad performances," he said. "You have to understand; you're shooting a $300 million movie. You've got a lot going on. He's got five, six takes. If you ain't got it, you're done. I didn't want to see my kids get clipped. They were excited about, but they started to get mad at me because I'm trying to over-direct them. It went great."

Regarding the Dinobots, when they were bought up his response was the following:

"You can't say that, dude. Did you leak it? Did you leak it? You leaked it," he said. "Somebody leaked it, dude. Somebody was on the set leaked it, and it is not OK. It's not cool."

You can watch the video of the interview at MTV.

TFW2005.com have posted a video, probably from You Tube, from the set of Transformers 4 which is said to show Mark Wahlberg’s character piloting what looks like a Decepticon ship from Transformers: Dark Of The Moon. This ship was seen being transported not too long ago.

Also, Jack Reynor and other cast members; Nicola Peltz, T.J. Miller were seen running away from the Sonic RS. Some speculate the Sonic RS may be trying to protect the civilians.

UPDATE: Actually they are from ComicBookMovie which has lots of additional videos

This news article is a quick round-up of recent Transformers Movie 4 news which we had not reported due to being at Auto Assembly.

On Monday reports surfaced that Sideswipe could be returning to the live action Transformers franchise when a photograph was taken near to the set. This news was always unlikely since the official Autobot cast is stated as being fixed to the vehicles which have already been officially revealed.  The latest update on this is that it was a privately owned vehicle in the area.

On Tuesday it was reported that Victoria Summer (Saving Mr. Banks) tweeted that she would be joining the TF cast for a three week shoot.  On the same day Mark Wahlberg, who is busy promoting 2 Guns, discussed Transformers 4 with Digital Spy and is quoting as saying "...its just very different. Its a standalone movie. Budget wise its the biggest of all of them."

Yesterday it was reported that a shoot was taking place at the Russell Bazaar location in Detroit where a helicopter mounted with a camera, the Rally Fighter vehicle, Sonic RS Rally Car and two Cadillac Escalades where all spotted.

Today footage has been published on Vimeo from yesterday's shoot which can be viewed below.

Red Carpet News TV have posted a video interview they held with Mark Wahlberg onto YouTube where he talks a little about the human element in Transformers 4. You can watch the video below.

The on-set images from Transformers 4 which have been posted by JustJared.com which feature Mark Wahlberg and Nicola Peltz reveal a new weapon which is being held by Mark. When you look closer, the weapon appears to contain Cybertronian symbols much like the Allspark cube.  You can view the images here.

The Transformers Live Action Blog have more images which appear to reveal the weapon as the Star Saber, as well as posting images and videos from recent days shoots including what appears to be a wreckage of one of the ships from Transformers Dark of the Moon

To start the day here is a round-up of some recent interviews which were held with Mark Wahlberg where he makes reference to the fourth Transformers movie.

Metro News Canada interviewed him regarding "2 Guns" and "Transformers 4".

Of course he was tight-lipped but said that he is playing "a single dad who’s trying to raise a very attractive teenage girl in the real world."

Also he mentioned his daily routine while filming:
"I don’t go out at night anymore, so that makes it a lot easier. I go home, I’ll eat dinner, I’ll read the script and prepare for the next day’s work, and go to bed right away. I’ll wake up with a little bit of time to say my prayers, read my prayer book, maybe do a little workout, and then get back at it. And then steal a cat nap whenever I can during the work day — but (‘Transformers’ director) Michael (Bay), once he starts working, he doesn’t like to stop."

Following on from that interview MTV also interviewed the actor and asked specifically regarding any Dinobots would be involved within the movie.

When asked whether there would be any Dinobots on Transformers 4 the actor replied "None of your business. You don't want me to get replaced halfway through production for divulging secrets".

Mr. Wahlberg mentioned that the new installment feels unlike anything that has come before it, thanks in part to the character he has taken on. "It feels like a completely different movie, very fresh," he said. "Obviously, it's a really interesting dynamic, being a young, single dad having a teenage daughter, trying to succeed as an inventor, having very little means and also trying to provide for my family. Then all hell breaks loose."

Finally ComicBook.com are reporting that after Mark Wahlberg's children visited the set in Detroit, the actor asked Michael Bay if his kids could be in the movie. After a quick and impromptu audition, Michael Bay agreed.

A pair of photos posted on Instagram by Nicole_4_Eva from the Lockhart, Texas set of Transformers 4 have revealed that actor Titus Welliver is on set with Jack Reynor and Mark Wahlberg.  There had been no previous reports of Mr Welliver being tied to Transformers 4, so his actual role on the movie is very much unknown.

It's been confirmed that Mark Wahlberg will be taking over the lead role in the Transformers franchise.  Below you will find the official release of the news

HOLLYWOOD, CA (November 8, 2012) – After an exceptionally successful collaboration on the upcoming “Pain and Gain,” Michael Bay has cast Academy Award®-nominee Mark Wahlberg in the highly anticipated “TRANSFORMERS 4.” The film will hit theaters June 27th, 2014.

“Mark is awesome. We had a blast working on “Pain and Gain” and I’m so fired up to be back working with him. An actor of his caliber is the perfect guy to re-invigorate the franchise and carry on the Transformers’ legacy,” said Bay.
Bay will direct the next installment in the “TRANSFORMERS” series, which begins shooting next spring. From Paramount Pictures, a division of Viacom, Inc., in association with Hasbro, the film will be produced by Don Murphy & Tom DeSanto, Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Ian Bryce, and executive produced by Steven Spielberg, Bay, Brian Goldner and Mark Vahradian.
