'Transformers 4: Age of Extinction:' Will Trump Previous Films in the Franchise, Could Standalone, Says Mark Wahlberg [VIDEO]
Mark Wahlberg spoke at CinemaCon 2014 about Transformers 4: Age of Extinction and suggested that the film would be very different from the other films in the franchise.

Paramount's vice-chairman Rob Moore championed Wahlberg's association with the action-thriller franchise, suggesting that he would be a major draw for fans.
"Michael Bay...is committed to making sure young audiences have a reason to flock back to your theaters," Moore said.
Walhberg also said that the film was not dependent on the storyline of the past films in the franchise, and could survive on its own.
"It was a tighter script, and its own stand-alone thing. I think the emotional core of it, the human element, is going to be extremely powerful. It's an ordinary man trying to do extraordinary things to save his daughter and keep her alive-and this boyfriend he didn't know anything about," he said. "He'd had a child when he was in high school and his wife passed away, and the promise he'd made to her was that she wouldn't date any boys until she graduated and that she'd be at the graduation-because we weren't due to the pregnancy. So there's an anchor to it and a realness to it that I like a lot."
New Transformers 4: Age of Extinction footage was also revealed at the event.
