Paramount Reveals Recently “Leaked” ‘Transformers 4’ Synopsis To Be False

Well, looks like we’re going to be seeing quite a few bits of fake information “leaking” regarding Michael Bay’s fourth installment in the Transformers franchise. Production on the film has recently been confirmed to take place in Chicago, even though it was rumored that the film would take place in China. Following this, a “synopsis for the film” was “leaked online” yesterday after it was announced by the Michigan Film Office that Transformers 4 will film scenes in Detroit as well this summer. The plot summary read as follows:

As humanity picks up the pieces, following the conclusion of Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Autobots and Decepticons have all but vanished from the face of the planet. However, a group of powerful, ingenious businessman and scientists attempt to learn from past Transformer incursions and push the boundaries of technology beyond what they can control – all while an ancient, powerful Transformer menace sets Earth in his crosshairs. The epic adventure and battle between good and evil, freedom and enslavement ensues.

Well, Paramount has contacted and revealed to Bleeding Cool that this “information previously posted is inaccurate.” With production yet to begin, we shouldn’t actually expect an official synopsis for a few months.

Transformers 4 is set to transform and roll out into theaters June 27th, 2014.
