While there hasn’t been much official word on the film’s plot or characters, an earlier casting call indicated that the plot would center around a high school senior, her father, and her racecar-driving boyfriend. Wahlberg and Reynor seem to fit the bill for the latter two descriptions, so it appears Peltz is playing the high schooler.
Peltz is best known for playing Katara inThe Last Airbender, and currently has a regular role on A&E’sBates Motelas a popular girl who befriends Norman. In addition, she recently wrapped the indie dramaAffluenza.
The news thatTransformers 4will shoot in 3D isn’t much of a shocker, either, asTransformers: Dark of the Moonwas also shot with 3D cameras.

Still, it’s good to know that we can expect real 3D from the new movie. Post-converted 3D can be great if done well, but native 3D is still hard to beat.
Transformers 4picks up four years after the big attack on Chicago inDark of the Moon, and is being set up as the start of a whole new trilogy. Along with the new human cast, the film will also feature a new lineup of robots.Transformers 4is slated for release onJune 27, 2014.
