The eagerly awaited Transformers: Age of Extinction has had its worldwide première in Hong Kong this Thursday.
The fourth instalment of the Transformers movie franchise directed by Michael Bay has a whole new cast led by Michael Wahlberg whom Bay praised as a “real leading man” with maturity and gravitas. Wahlberg and other cast members including Stanley Tucci, Kelsey Grammer and Nicola Peltz walked the red carpet as a giant statue of Autobot leader Optimus Prime overlooked the venue next to a waterfront promenade on famed Victoria Harbor in Hong Kong.
This was the first time that Hong Kong has hosted the world première of an international blockbuster. While most of the film is set in the U.S. and mainland China, Hong Kong’s skyscraper-studded skyline is the backdrop for the climactic battle sequence, in which the Transformers trash the city on-screen.
“It’s the perfect location to unveil the film ahead of its worldwide opening later this month. I hope the people of Hong Kong and China will enjoy how we’ve showcased much of the region’s unique and iconic scenery in the movie.” – Michael Bay
Previous instalment of the franchise, “Transformers: Dark of the Moon,” earned $1.1 billion at the global box office.
The movie will be released in the US and Canada on June 27th 2014 and in the UK on July 5th 2014. You can check for other release dates here.
