'Transformers' Human Cast Cut From 'Transformers 4'.
A "source" close to production on Transformers 4 has revealed that director Michael Bay has realised that the movie needs to "be like the last hour" of Dark Of The Moon, and that the film is going to be both a reboot and a sequel (a requel?) that continues on from DotM, only with a whole new cast of humans. Actor Josh Duhamel also confirmed to E! that he has been cut and doesn't think any of the franchise's previous humans will be returning either. "I don't think anybody's doing it," he said.
