Sequel Bits: ‘Transformers: Age Of Extinction,’ ‘Fast And Furious 7,’ ‘Prometheus 2,’ ‘Insurgent,’ ‘Star Trek 3’
There’s a lot of controversy on the set ofTransformers: Age of Extinctionas principal photography concludes. But that’s not all in today’s Sequel Bets. After the jump, read about the following:
Let’s begin at the end. One of the stars ofTransformers: Age of Extinction, Nicola Peltz,tweeted thatprincipal photography is done on the June 2014 sequel. Which is a good thing considering there were stories going around (viaHollywood Reporter) that some crew members were “intimidated” into providing someone money. However, Bay took tohis official websiteto say reports were untrue. Here’s his post:
I’m here to set the record straight again . . . my crew and I have been having a great time in Hong Kong despite what you may have read about us being “rocked by a second extortion attempt.” Totally untrue. A few bad dudes have definitely not ruined the experience. We shoot from sun up to sun down, and the local HK crew have become part of our on-set family. We’re in the middle of busy streets, in businesses, and even in people’s homes, and everyone we’ve met has been very accommodating and generous. It’s been a once in a lifetime experience we’d all consider doing again.
