This poster was just too epic to not post.
Well this is....interesting? Strange? Unexpected? On par with Michael Bay's insanity?
Although director Michael Bay discounted the rumors last week that Academy Award nominated actor Mark Wahlberg was joining the fourth edition to the Transformers franchise, never doubt the power of the Internet. From his official website, Bay now says that "Internet chatter gave me some ideas" and that he loved working with Wahlberg on the upcoming film Pain and Gain. Even though the fourth Transformers movie is in its early stages, the aforementioned "ideas" are "gaining traction with me and my writer" according to Bay.
If Wahlberg does in fact join the film I think it immediately gives the franchise a needed boost of star power and a strong male lead. Love him or hate him, Mark Wahlberg is a bonafide movie star that draws box office money hand over fist. Not that this movie would need it considering the storyline is basically about giant outer space robots blowing shit up. Then again Bay's films have always been more about spectacle than story, and I'm sure they could cast Justin Bieber as the lead and the pic would still make money.
Pain and Gain releases April 26 of next year while Transformers: I'm Tired of these Motherfuckin' Decepticons on this Motherfuckin' Planet! debuts June 27th 2014.
Oh sweet, Marky Mark's in Transformers! Still not going to watch it.
