Casting website Mandy.com has put out a casting call for Transformers 4, containing similar information to previous casting calls, with one additional detail – a filming location is given. According to the details they have posted, Transformers 4 will film at various overseas locations including London! Yes, in 2012 London hosted the Olympics, and in 2013 it will play host to Michael Bay shooting the fourth Transformers movie. It might not be on the same level but it is certainly going to be interesting to see how it plays out.

Classics or Prime Leadfoot then. Any Leadfoot will suffice.

I will not care where they are film as long as the bots are good & hopefully they continue frm TF3
CyberShadow
Seeing as how the driving force of a change in design is the fact that the toys are too similar and therefore dont sell so well, I doubt we will see any characters recognisable from the previous trilogy.

Me Too.

They Better. I still want a Deluxe Leadfoot damnit.
CyberShadow
Apologies. That was perhaps a little harsh. I will edit it out.

EDIT – Besides, it doesnt say that they want a Texan. It says that the character is Texan. Watch House? English actor, flew to the US and put on a US accent for a US TV series. If they can do that for a series…
EDIT2 – Honestly, I dont care. My opinion is that this is not necessarily being shot in the UK, and even if it is the casting call to me certainly doesnt imply that. If people want to believe it then it makes no difference to me.
MV95
Oh, because there are sooo many Texans in London.

Ah well. Some of us Brits live in hope that Blighty might play some small part in things. What real harm effect could a few scenes set over here really have on a BayFormers movie?
Always with the hate hating, you. Some of us are just entertaining the idea of something British for once and having a bit of fun speculating considering we know how our country and people tends to be seen by others around the world. Not everything is the Bay attacks you think you see everywhere. Crack a smile.
Filming in Iceland! Why hasn't this been front-paged already?? Just imagine the amazing battle scenes that could be shot amongst the frozen mini pizzas and 'Round Pound' party pack deals!
Our excellent space programme is 'Red Dwarf'.

Well, I am certainly no expert, but I thought that this was actually very common. The 'face' associated with both actors and models means that producers will search far and wide for the right person. In a budget of $40M for a film and way beyond, flying a potential actor to the US is not a huge cost. I suspect that this casting call has gone out to a number of casting companies, but this web site appears to be an 'ebay for actors' with a number of companies all putting out calls to the same site. For example, there are companies there from a variety of locations, and this is also listed in the call.
There could be filming in England, just like there could be filming in Iceland. I dont necessarily think that either is more likely…. unless the rumours of going off Earth are true, and Bay has decided to make use of our excellent space program. I think his name is Brian.

Obviously it's a bit of a jump to assume that just because the casting agency is headquartered in London, that filming will be taking place in the self-same city. However, it's probably not overreaching to state, based on this information, that some filming might occur in the UK or its periphery, no? Perhaps my understanding of the casting process is lacking, but it seems rather wasteful to seek out a casting agency from a nation completely unrelated to filming.

This alone would make the film one of the greatest of all time. OF ALL TIME.
CyberShadow
Ummm. Where? It says London… as in, thats where the casting company is located. Thats it. It also says international locations for filming only.
MV95
umm Yea it does

Blinded by fhe hate, I guess.
CyberShadow
Yeah, it doesnt. My point a couple of pages back too. But that doesnt stop 13 pages of people reading what they want, even if they ignore what is actually written, endless plot speculations and English stereotypes. *sigh*

London, I would hate to see the destruction which might happen during filming this movie.
MV95
Well, technically we don't know what Iron Man 3 is going to be. And DOTM had an epic trailer by the way.

Where in the casting call does it state filming will be in London. All I see is filming overseas and the biyfriend lives in Texas.
