We know what you’re thinking — Transformers 4? More like Transformers BORE!
But it’s the holiday season, so let’s stay optimistic!
Mark Wahlberg replaced Shia LaBeouf as the super seXXXy lead and, who knows, Marky Mark’s presence could be precisely the type of adrenaline shot to the heart this flatlining franchise needs!
Plus, Mark revealed in a recent interview that Transformers 4: Age of Extinction isn’t like the other three! He says this is a stand-alone type movie with a “powerful” script!
The 42-year-old actor admitted:
“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├óΓé¼Γäós an ordinary man trying to do extraordinary things to save his daughter and keep her alive├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥and this boyfriend he didn├óΓé¼Γäót know anything about. He├óΓé¼Γäód had a child when he was in high school and his wife passed away, and the promise he├óΓé¼Γäód made to her was that she wouldn├óΓé¼Γäót date any boys until she graduated and that she├óΓé¼Γäód be at the graduation├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥because we weren├óΓé¼Γäót due to the pregnancy. So there├óΓé¼Γäós an anchor to it and a realness to it that I like a lot.”
Whoa, that’s intense!!! We can’t wait to see it!
So what drives a man so clearly concerned with the quality of his films to make potentially mediocre summer blockbusters?
Mark dished on that, too – and the reasons might be different than you think!
He revealed:
“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├óΓé¼Γäót 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├óΓé¼Γäóm really passionate about.”
Sounds like a flawless formula!
Transformers 4: Age of Extinction hits theaters on June 27, 2014.
