希亞·拉博夫退出《變形金剛4》馬克·沃爾伯格接棒

Michael Bay needed a human actor to lead his Transformers franchise after it was revealed that Shia LaBeouf would not be coming back for a fourth installment, but today it's been announced that Bay's search is over. As has been rumored, the director has cast Mark Wahlberg as the human lead in Transformers 4.

自從希亞·拉博夫（ Shia LaBeouf）宣佈不再出演《 變形金剛》（Transformers ）系列電影之後，邁克爾·貝 （Michael Bay）就需要重新尋覓一個人類來領導他的機器人大軍。但今天，答案揭曉了，之前的傳聞被確定， 馬克·沃爾伯格 （Mark Wahlberg）將出演《變形金剛4》。

The filmmaker announced the casting on his personal website, the news coming less than 24 hours after the director revealed that internet rumors got him thinking about Wahlberg as a fit choice to lead the franchise. The two worked together on Bay's most recent film, Pain & Gain, a Coen-esque dark crime comedy about a pair of body builders (Wahlberg, Dwayne Johnson) who try and set up a blackmail scheme, but manage to bumble it in the worst way possible.

邁克爾·貝在自己的官網上確認了這個消息，此消息的確認僅僅與之前他留言說“網上的謠言讓他認真考慮馬克·沃爾伯格出演《變形金剛》的可能”不到24小時。目前兩人正在合作新片《付出與收穫》（Pain and Gain），該片爲黑色犯罪喜劇，講述的是由馬克·沃爾伯格和 道恩·強森 （Dwayne Johnson）飾演的兩個健美運動員預謀的敲詐行徑最終演變到無法收拾的地步。

In a statement about Wahlberg's casting Bay said, "Mark is awesome. We had a blast working on Pain and Gain and I’m so fired up to be back working with him. An actor of his caliber is the perfect guy to re-invigorate the franchise and carry on the Transformers’ legacy."

邁克爾·貝在聲明中這樣說：“馬克·沃爾伯格是很棒的演員，在拍攝《付出與收穫》時我們合作得很好，很高興能和他再次合作。像他這樣有才幹的演員能給影片帶來活力，使《變形金剛》的傳奇得以延續。”

Bay also revealed a new logo for the & Gain will be in theaters on April 26th and he will then almost immediately get to work on Transformers 4, which is scheduled to start production some time in the spring. The film is being produced by Don Murphy, Tom DeSanto, Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Ian Bryce, and executive produced by Steven Spielberg, Bay, Brian Goldner and Mark Vahradian. It will be distributed by Paramount Pictures, which is currently targeting a June 27, 2014 release date.

邁克爾·貝同時還公佈了一張《變形金剛4》的新LOGO。 《付出與收穫》將於2013年4月26日上映，之後邁克爾·貝將立刻投入《變形金剛4》的製作中去，預計將於明年春天開拍。該片依然由派拉蒙影業出品，預計2014年6月27日上映。
