'Transformers 4: Age of Extinction' News: Scenes To Be Deleted As Major Investor Backs Out Of Movie [VIDEO]
As the release date of Transformers 4: Age of Extinction is around the corner, a sudden hurdle had come up as one of the investors was having an issue with Paramount as some terms of the deal weren't met.
While it seemed like Paramount was working on resolving things, a new development revealed that the investor has put its foot down and backed out of the association. On June 22, WSJ reported that one of the Chinese investors, Beijing Pangu Investment Co., has broken its deal with Paramount and wants any scenes featuring any of its properties to be removed from the movie.
The company owns the Pangu Plaza, which figures a pretty visible spot in the film and adds to imagery and backdrop. But now as things seemed to have gone awry between the two parties, the investment firm is asking that the scenes featuring the plaza be taken out from the movie. The company issued a statement on June 18.

Previously, Paramount did respond to the concerns which were aired by the press, and a spokesperson had stated that they were looking to sort things out.
"We regret that Pangu is not currently satisfied with certain aspects of our collaboration and are working to resolve its concerns," the spokesman said. It is very in the late for the movie to be heading to the cutting room as the release date is less than a week away but seems like the producers have no option left.
Transformers: Age of Extinction will hit theaters on June 27, 2014.
