Say hello to Jack Reynor and Nicola Peltz, the fresh young faces of Transformers: Age of Extinction,the newest Transformersfilm from director Michael Bay. The up-and-coming actors will form two-thirds of a triangle (along with Mark Wahlberg) that forms the core human relationship of a story set in a world where giant robots transform into vehicles. It's glorious.
While on set at the Detroit stand-in for Hong Kong, I joined a small group of journalists in interviewing Reynor and Peltz. The pair talked about performing in the big action scenes, a bit about their characters, working with Wahlberg and Bay, training to prepare themselves for the stunts, and how they feel about stepping into such a big franchise. Hit the jump for the full interview.
So what can you tell us about what you're filming today?
Jack Reynor: Well it's kind of taking place in Hong Kong… I don't know, you want to explain it?
Nicola Peltz: It's a big chase scene, so we're running, but the set is really cool. We came to set and it literally looks like Hong Kong.
Reynor: Yeah it's incredible. So yeah, we're destroying a lot of stuff and trying to get away from a big threat.
How much action do they let you do?
Reynor: Quite a bit, quite a bit. I think Michael likes to use us as much as he can rather than doubles which is great because it's really fun because a lot of stuff blows up and we do a lot of running and it's just crazy because it's really real when you're there and you're doing it.
What can you tell us about our characters?
Peltz: I play the daughter of Mark Wahlberg, I play Tessa. She's a teenage girl, a country girl and she's a bit of a tomboy, she's going through that stage where she's interested in boys and her dad doesn't want her to date and that's just tons of fun to play with.
