Could Mark Wahlberg Lead Michael Bay


Recommended Posts

The folks over at Twitch report that Bay is ?having early conversations? with Wahlberg about starring in Transformers 4. The notion isn?t entirely far-fetched, as Wahlberg recently starred in Bay?s low-budget dark comedy Pain and Gain, but even Twitch is quick to point out that this is still very early days. As such, we should probably take this with a grain of salt until something more firm materializes.

The script by Ehren Kruger (who also had a hand in the scripts for Revenge of the Fallen and Dark of the Moon) is rumored to focus on an adult star and his teenage son, with the plan being that the young boy would become the focus of subsequent installments. Bay claims that Transformers 4 will be his last go-around with the series before handing it off to a new filmmaker, but he also said the same thing after Dark of the Moon.

The explosions expert previously talked about wanting to set up the new direction the franchise would take post-Transformers 4, and this idea of spinning further installments off the son character seems to jibe with that notion. For now, Bay is still in the early stages of T4 while he puts the finishing touches on Pain and Gain, but we should hear more about the fourth entry in the franchise soon as we move closer towards the June 29th, 2014 release date.

"I squashed a rumor that was on the internet last week. It was about Mark Walhberg. Mark was rumored to be starring in Transformers 4. We are working on another movie together, not T4. I had such a great time working with Mark on Pain and Gain, and he gave such a great performance ? well let?s say that very internet chatter gave me some ideas. We are at the inception of our story process right now on T4. Let?s say some ideas are gaining traction with me and my writer ? so I?m here to say thanks internet chatter."

    • iPhone 18 Pro drop-test video and photos leak on the dark web following a data breach by Hamid Ganji iPhone 17 Pro - Image via Apple Apple is seemingly facing one of the biggest data breaches in its history, and just a few months before the official debut of the iPhone 18 Pro series, photos, a drop-test video, a supplier list, and key phone components have reportedly been leaked by hackers. Last week, we reported that Tata Electronics, an Apple supplier and iPhone producer in India, was hit by a data breach. As a result, it was reported that more than 200,000 trade secrets and confidential documents belonging to Apple and Tesla were stolen by the ransomware group World Leaks. According to Reuters, the group has now leaked supplier lists, component details, and photos of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro models on the dark web. One of the materials leaked by the hackers is a drop-test video of the iPhone 18 Pro, which is due to launch this September. The phone is shown in a gray color and has the same familiar design we saw on last year's iPhone 17 Pro series. The device also appears to be quite durable, though it seems to be thicker than last year's model. One possible explanation is that Apple may be using a larger battery in the iPhone 18 Pro series. Moreover, Reuters says it has seen at least six documents mapping many components in the iPhone 18 Pro models to their respective suppliers, including details on chips on the main circuit board and on battery and camera components. The documents reportedly detail hundreds of parts that will be used in the iPhone 18 Pro models. A person familiar with the matter told the outlet that Apple classifies this data as sensitive and “is concerned about the documents being shared on the dark web as they relate to unreleased models.” Apple is reportedly investigating the issue but has yet to issue an official statement.
    • You do you, I've just said that it first appeared in "home" version before it will be available in "work" one. I use Edge only because it still supports MV2 uBO extension even on Android - I'll switch when they stop.
    • I imagine that was a review or something? My reviews mostly contain a lot of images and galleries, but these are all webp too, but yeah it all adds up on the page load. Would help if you were more helpful with your critique instead of bitching and moaning like a Karen 😂 Because then we might be able to fix it for you.
    • If Valve refused to let them make the case, I wonder if they've already partnered with someone else to do it? The fact that they didn't seek permission/licence before diving straight in is incredible though
