Michael Bay Denies TRANSFORMERS 4 Script Leak And Casting News

After the script for the next Transformers movie reportedly leaked online this morning, director Michael Bay says that it's not the legitimate script. He also denies that Brenton Thwaites and Nicola Peltz have joined the cast.

Early this morning, the script for Paramount and Michael Bay's fourth Transformers movie, which has Mark Wahlberg set to star, allegedly leaked online. I won't go into detail about what the script contains, so click HERE if you want to know what it features. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Bay has taken to his official website to report that the script currently going around online is NOT the real screenplay.

"Some Internet sites this morning reported that some document recovery guy has found a legitimate 120 page script of Transformers 4. I can absolutely 100 percent say this is completely false. The only two people in the world that have our unfinished script are Kruger and myself. Also we are only up to page 70 in our T4 script. Maybe this guy has a cartoon or something else – but definitely not our movie!"

Also, earlier this month, it was reported that young actors Nicola Peltz (The Last Airbender) and Brenton Thwaites (Maleficent) were cast as Wahlberg's character's daughter and her race car driver boyfriend, respectively. On December 6th, Bay also denied this on his website. "Actor announcement on some web sites last night about Transformer cast joining Mark are completely false."

With filming set to begin in May, Transformers 4 is set to hit theaters June 27th, 2014.

My first reaction to hearing about the Transformers script leak: "Those movies have scripts?"

HAILHYDRA - 12/17/2012, 11:24 AM

Hopefully he'll grow out of it

ManofSteel23 - 12/17/2012, 11:25 AM

I bet the scripts just say ''robot punches robot''
''robots face falls off'' ''shia stands there screaming optimus'' ''optimus dies then later comes back to save the day''

@levitikuz lots of counseling, maybe a quick sit down and make him watch some beast wars or the old 1986 film.

i had to do the same thing with my brother when the last air bender came out.

NerdyGeek - 12/17/2012, 11:26 AM

Hey Bay, remember when you said TF3 would be your last TF film? Yeah.. [frick] you!

kalisto2010 - 12/17/2012, 11:41 AM

Bay is a proven liar. When latino review posted the script to the first Transformers Bay denied that was the real script. After reading the script and watching the movie, that script was about 90% accurate. However, the Revenge of the Fallen script that leaked was real, however that was a version they decided against.

thalidomide - 12/17/2012, 11:42 AM

I think the script goes

act 1:

Explosions!!!

Act 2:

More explosions!!

Act 3:
Random chick who can't act, then more explosions!!!

silverdog - 12/17/2012, 12:01 PM

yeah.. the one this morning didn't mention racist jokes, 20 minutes of explosions or toilet humor, so it obviously wasn't for a michael bay movie..

He is always "reassuring" that his scripts haven't been leaked, when they actually have been leaked every time. Granted some of them have been unused or rough drafts, but the once that I know about did turn out real. And now we've had a "supposed" TMNT and TF4 leak. Bet you money those are real too....finish or rough it doesn't matter, someone that dumbass bay trusts is leaking them.

Azazel1 - 12/17/2012, 1:38 PM

I hate Micheal Bay

NeoBaggins - 12/17/2012, 2:38 PM

Wait, you mean all that mini unicron stuff was fan fic bullshit? Who'da thunk it.

ArtisticErotic - 12/17/2012, 5:34 PM

@darkmetal

No, just no. I'll watch Rises again before even consider watching the shitty Bayformer movies.

kemuael - 12/17/2012, 5:46 PM

i love all michael bay movies..so am good, looking to Transformers 4,BRING IT!!!!

M3T4LL0 - 12/17/2012, 6:56 PM

Any one find it kind of ironic that this exact same thing happened when the "Ninja" Turtle script leaked and Boom Boom Bay responded with the EXACT SAME THING?!?! I think Bay leaks them on purpose because he already knows he sucks just to see how bad peoples reactions are and then he goes off and cries in a corner and hires someone to re-write his scripts. Bay is a HACK!

Alvahnomicron - 12/17/2012, 7:39 PM

Maybe the fourth one one is a charm, and the TFs will finally STAR in their own movie.

GiantNerd - 12/17/2012, 8:22 PM

There, now no one has to see it.

mgeoff88 - 12/17/2012, 8:38 PM

Michael Bay can deny a lot of things, but he can't deny that he sucks at making Transformers movies.

LordDaredevil - 12/18/2012, 6:17 AM

I enjoyed the first. Dark of the Moon was good. But another like Revenge of the Fallen? No. Just...God no. I can't take anymore Decepticon testicles.
