Although nothing is official...

JASON Statham is being lined up to star in the next Transformers movie.

Huge opening weekend box office returns have convinced studio bosses to green light Transformers 4 but with a new male lead.

And Jason, who’s dating Rosie Huntington Whitely, is said to be the hot favorite.

“One of the stars being mentioned is Rosie’s boyfriend Jason Statham,” says a Hollywood insider.

“It’s clear the franchise still has huge potential but with a new leading man capable of taking Transformers in a new, darker direction. Jason could be just the man to do that and his relationship with Rosie would be an added bonus in marketing the movie.”

Rosie recently revealed how her movie role bought her closer to Jason.

“He’s extremely proud and he’s extremely excited to see the movie,” she said . “I love his films and now I get to love doing action too. So that’s something that we definitely share in common now.”

Source

Following "Pain and Gain," Bay will bring audiences a new take on the "Transformers" franchise as he begins production on the fourth installment in the hit series of movies based on the best-selling Hasbro toyline. The third, and most recent installment of the franchise, "Transformers: Dark of the Moon," is the fourth highest global grossing film of all time with 1.24 billion dollars of worldwide box office success. Directed by Bay, the movie will re-unite the filmmaking team from the hit franchise, including producers Lorenzo di Bonaventura, Don Murphy, Tom DeSanto and Ian Bryce; and executive producers Steven Spielberg, Bay, Brian Goldner and Mark Vahradian. Paramount Pictures will release the film on June 29th, 2014.

Interesting about Jason Statham and the darker direction they may go in. Maybe they should enlist the help of the the Nolan brothers to help make it darker.;)
 
please please not Jason for Transformers... he's better off with Bourne movie..not Transformers...huge mistake..i mean mistake.

Put some new face or something else...why pay millions to Jason for Transformers..they don't need him to sell tickets.
 
I hope they don't go with Jason as well, at the end of the day it's about a kids toy, I felt Bay forgot about this after the 1st film and it clearly went sour from there for me, Jason is too old and grown up for it, even Shia is now, just go back to the winning formula from the 1st film if they wanna reboot it. And also Jason cant act to save his life, has he ever played anything other than the british tough guy? It's cos he can't and does a terrible job at it too, not typed cast. British people don't like him, much less Americans, he wood diffo turn people off!
 
The 4th to be more 'serious' per Screenrant:

Paramount finally confirmed the inevitable this week, as the studio announced that both director Michael Bay and an official release date have been locked down for Transformers 4. The movie is already being trumped up as part reboot, in the sense that it will exist within the continuity established in Bay’s previous Transformers flicks, but is also going to “clean house” and remove certain characters (primarily, human players) who played prominent roles in the original TF trilogy.

New insider reports on the fourth Transformers movie also claim the film will be a “direct” sequel to the third installment (subtitled Dark of the Moon) – and that certain thematic elements from the previous movies will also be left out of the loop, this next time around.

A source for Badass Digest is claiming that Transformers 4 is going to be “a straight up sequel” to TF3 where the plot is simply no longer told from Sam Witwicky’s (Shia LaBeouf) perspective – unlike the previous three movies. Whether or not any of the additional human characters from prior installments – like John Turturro as Agent Simmons or Tyrese Gibson as Sergeant Epps – will likewise not be returning, is another matter.
UPDATE: In a recent interview with E! Online, Josh Duhamel – who played Major Lennox in the first three Transformers movies – indicated that he didn’t anticipate there to be any returning human cast members from the previous films in TF4. To quote the actor directly:
“I don’t think anybody’s doing it. I know Shia [LaBoeuf]‘s not doing it. I don’t think Tyrese [Gibson] or Rosie [Huntington-Whiteley] or anybody else is doing it… I haven’t heard anything about it. They haven’t called me.”
​
Turturro’s being brought back in particular seems all the less probable, given that the BD insider is also saying that TF4 will mark a drastic cutting-down, in terms of the over-the-top (some might say Looney Tunes-style) comedy and juvenile humor present throughout all three prior Transformers movies.
To quote the source directly:
“Michael [Bay] realized ['Transformers 4'] needs to be more like the last hour [of 'Dark of the Moon'].”
​
Obviously, that doesn’t mean the entire film will be constructed like Dark of the Moon‘s climactic third act (ie. feature nonstop carnage and real estate destruction) but that TF4 will be aiming for more of an overall serious and “adult” tone. So don’t expect, say, a hyperactive Ken Jeong to tackle anybody while they’re in the bathroom – or jokes involving peeing robots and Transformer “cannonballs” – in this new installment.

That said, just because Transformers 4 is being fashioned as more of a serious blockbuster about giant alien robots engaging in intergalactic warfare, don’t expect it to abandon all sense of being light-weight cheesy entertainment and aim to be a purely darker and grittier variation on the Transformers mythos.


Peter Berg’s Battleship, for example, is also being propped up as a more serious take on a Hasbro property, but not one that forgets its duties as a piece of popcorn fluff. Even other impending franchise-revamping sequels that maintain a narrative continuity with their predecessors (Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, G.I. Joe: Retaliation) aren’t going to be so straight-faced as to not include any hammy one-liners or similarly silly elements in the mix. Expect Transformers 4 to follow their example.
