With Transformers: Age of Extinction exactly a month away, Paramount has launched a clever new viral campaign that pushes anti-Transformers sentiments and encourages mankind to report any and all traces of alien activity. “Stay alert. Be vigilant. Keep Earth human. If you see something, say something” warns a video that won’t let people forget the Fall of Chicago (from Transformers: Dark of the Moon) and the mass destruction caused by the giant transforming robots. There isn’t much new footage in the faux news clip, just some shots of the bounty hunter Lockdown, but I’m sure there will be more added as we approach the release date.
In additon to three propaganda posters, a new tie-in website for the film that resets the series, not reboots it, has also gone live: TransformersAreDangerous.com.
Here is the film’s official synopsis:
TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION is the fourth film in director Michael Bay’s global blockbuster franchise. Mark Wahlberg, Stanley Tucci, Li Bingbing , Kelsey Grammer, Sophia Myles, T. J. Miller, Nicola Peltz, Jack Reynor and Titus Welliver star. The film begins after an epic battle that left a great city torn, but with the world saved. As humanity picks up the pieces, a shadowy group reveals itself in an attempt to control the direction of history… while an ancient, powerful new menace sets Earth in its crosshairs. With help from a new cast of humans, Optimus Prime and the Autobots rise to meet their most fearsome challenge yet. In an incredible adventure, they are swept up in a war of good and evil, ultimately leading to a climactic battle across the world.
