Transformers: Age of Extinction Pitch Meeting

Step inside the pitch meeting that led to Transformers: Age of Extinction!
Subscribe for more Pitch Meetings: goo.gl/ho3Hg6
Some people thought that three Transformers movies may have been enough. But what those people didn’t take into account was… what if more money?! That question is what led to a fourth installment in the Transformers franchise, once again with Michael Bay at the helm. But this time, with a whole new cast of human characters led by Mark Wahlberg… the inventor.
Transformers: Age of Extinction definitely raises some questions. Like what happened to Sam Witwicky? Why are the anti-Transformer people working with a Transformer? Why is Cade Yeager such a terrible person? Why are we spending so much time on these creepy Romeo & Juliet laws? Why was there an empty 30-feet deep Transformer-sized hiding spot under Cade’s barn? What happened to the Allspark being the source of the Transformers powers? How many product placements can they cram into one movie?
To answer all these questions and more, step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to Transformers: Age of Extinction! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

[@CyranoForever101]

@@InitialPC to put it in a more common perspective, I was a junior in high school at 17 (started the semester at 16) and a 14 year-old would be a freshman very likely turning 15. Given that seniors date freshman all the time, it isn't creepy at all to assume a junior in high school is dating a freshman, even if said freshman turned 14 instead of 15 somehow. My last girlfriend was 22 and I was 27. Is that creepy? Because by your logic, 3 years is creepy, so 5 years must be horrific.

[@alexandredesbiens-brassard9109]

@@CyranoForever101 It's not just the absolute number of years that does it, because the more you age, the less difference 5 or 10 years make. Hence why a 20-year-old sleeping with a 15-year-old is not okay, but nobody bats an eye if a 45-year-old sleeps with a 40-year-old. Because the difference in intellectual and social maturity and power between a 15yo and a 20yo is way larger than a 40yo and a 45yo. So no, 22 and 27 is not as creepy as 17 and 20 despite being a larger difference.

The Romeo and Juliet Laws scene was one of the most blatant perv scenes ever put to film. I mean, even Japanese anime is more subtle than that. Not so much in content, but in the intensity of wanting the scene itself. "I want this controversial relationship in the movie, no I do not want compromises like making her older, and this exposition scene right here explains why this is okay and that I'm not a pervert. I'm gonna include a printout in case anyone needs to read the whole thing..." ~ Michael Bay (probably) Honestly could've just ended with "we started dating in high school..." and just left it at that.
