'Transformers: Age of Extinction' title, poster revealed

The fourth film in the "Transformers" franchise has gotten its first official movie poster, and its full title will be "Transformers: Age of Extinction."

Buried in what looks to be desert sand, the number 4 with half a Decepticon insignia is displayed above the title "Age of Extinction," as revealed by Yahoo Movies.

Though the movie isn't due out until next year, there have been longstanding rumors that Hasbro's popular Dinobots series of toys would make their appearance in "Transformers 4." The title and poster art seem to support that idea.

Plot details are thin, but Mark Wahlberg will be taking over the lead from Shia LaBeouf, and other cast members include Stanley Tucci, Kelsey Grammer, Nicola Peltz, Sophia Myles and T.J. Miller.

The new "Transformers" is being filmed in both in the U.S. and China, with Chinese actor Han Geng making his English-language debut.

Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura told Beijing News earlier this week that the "world's coolest, most exciting cars will appear in the film, including Chinese vehicles, so whether you are a car enthusiast or not, it will be a feast for the eyes."

When asked about the appearance of Dinobots, di Bonaventura said, "I can not disclose the specifics, but you can be sure that the arrival of the Dinobots will give the audience a lot to be excited about."
