`Transformers 4` title revealed

London: The official title of the fourth installment of the hit `Transformers` franchise is `Transformers: Age of Extinction`.

The title of the forthcoming sci-fi film which stars Mark Wahlberg and Nicola Peltz, was unveiled by Paramount pictures alongside a sand-covered poster. The film will hit theatres on June 27, 2014, reported Digital Spy. The film is based on a script by Ehren Kruger, who also worked on `Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen` and `Transformers: Dark of the Moon` and is said to centre on a mechanic played by Mark Wahlberg who struggles to be a single parent to daughter Nicola Peltz. The star-studded cast also includes Stanley Tucci, Kelsey Grammer, TJ Miller, Sophia Myles and Titus Welliver, while Peter Cullen will be returning to voice Optimus Prime, who is the leader of Autobots - usually the main protagonists in the films. The `Transformers` is being shot in numerous locations throughout the US and China and earlier this week the cast were spotted in Chicago. The film is directed by Michael Bay and re-unites the filmmaking team from the hit franchise, including executive producers Steven Spielberg, Bay, Brian Goldner and Mark Vahradian. PTI
