We reported that a new deal had been made to include several landmark buidlings in Beijing, China as part of the movie. However, it was not clear to us then that Michael Bay was being asked to blow them up as well. Now things are starting to get interesting, as it was reveled the producers requested there be a battle where the Pangu Plaza Hotel is destroyed in the film. Also reported, the filming of the China and Hong Kong scenes are planned to begin October 2013.

The LA Times is reporting on the progress of the selection progress that will choose four Chinese actors to appear in the 2014 Transformers 4 movie. According to the article, over 70,000 people are competing for the chance to play one of the roles that are said to be "action guy," “tech geek,” “sexy goddess” and “cute girl.” Jiaflix Enterprises' Marc Ganis says that over half million people have voted online on after reviewing images, video screen tests, the actor's biographies.

Jason Bo has posted more news and images up from the Transformers 4 Elgin Texas shoot on set 6/16. The shooting appears to have moved into a garage or other complex with Mark Wahlberg appearing greased up like an auto mechanic. Also sighted on set were Nicola Peltz, TJ Miller, and a female actor going by the name of "Regan." There are also more images of cab over engine (COE) truck that were sighted.

TFLAMB is reporting that Detroit is ramping UP for the arrival of the Transformers 4 production crew who are building long ramp on highway I-375 interchange at Jefferson Avenue. Bay is known for using lots of car chased and stunts in his movies. That ramp is sure to get a good workout sending all kind of vehicles flying possibly as part of the so-called "Car Chase from Hell" that Bay has mentioned previously.

There's a lot of clowns out there who want us to think they are some kind of insider. We didn't bother reporting on the "Rise of Galvatron" script that was circulating awhile ago as it was obviously a fake. However, it seems Michael Bay is tired of people falling for it and recently made a comment stating "I wanted you to hear from me directly that we have not yet chosen a title and anything being reported is absolutely not true."
