The fifth 'Transformers' film is to be released in 2016.
Paramount has today (19.06.14) unveiled its official 2016 slate, revealing that the fifth movie in the sci-fi-action series will be in cinemas in two years time, following on from the upcoming release of 'Transformers: Age of Extinction'.
Michael Bay returned to direct the fourth film in the series - which will star Mark Wahlberg, Stanley Tucci and Nicola Peltz - but it is so far unknown whether he has agreed to helm the next instalment.
Bay previously stated that 'Transformers: Age of Extinction' would be the beginning of a new trilogy, implying that he would be working on the fifth and unannounced sixth 'Transformers' movies.
The original trilogy starred Shia LaBeouf as teenager Sam Witwicky, who discovers he owns a mystical talisman named the Allspark - which would give unlimited power to whoever owns it - and becomes involved in a battle between the Autobot and Decepticon robots.
'Transformers' producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura previously revealed that the Mark Wahlberg starring fourth movie would be a "continuation" of the previous films.
He said: "On a certain level it's a continuation of the previous stories, in the fact that it acknowledges what has transpired before it."
Other Paramount films slated for release in 2016 include 'Paranormal Activity 5', 'Beverly Hills Cop IV', 'G.I. Joe 3', 'Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters 2' and 'Star Trek 3', The Hollywood Reporter has revealed.
'Transformers: Age of Extinction' is to be released on June 27.

Ella Henderson makes "weird dolphin" noises before going on stage.
The 18-year-old singer - who rose to fame after making it to the live finals on 'The X Factor' in 2012 - revealed her unusual vocal warm-up leaves her sounding like a marine mammal and "freaks" people out.
She told The Daily Star newspaper: "I make a weird dolphin noise before I go on stage. It freaks everybody out because it's a weird clicking sound, but it's become routine.
"I have a fear that my voice will give out when I open my mouth so by doing it offstage it means I don't wobble later."
Ella - whose debut track 'Ghost' has topped the UK singles chart and has become the fourth fastest selling single of 2014 so far - took over two years to produce her new album while she tried to figure out her "sound".
She previously said: "I don't wanna copy anyone, I didn't want to do a retro record. I wanted to do something new, and fresh.
"In the beginning I was open to anything, but you figure out what your sound is, and when you go into sessions there's certain things you have to be open, and honest on. When it comes to my music, when it's your job, you can be cutthroat about things."

Ed Sheeran thinks people shouldn't shame pop music.
The 'Sing' hitmaker feels there is nothing wrong with liking pop acts and he doesn't understand why anyone would criticise their music because it has a big influence on young people and popular culture.
During a new interview with Radio.com, he said: "Pop (and, especially, hip-hop) producers are as important as rock auteurs, Beyoncé is as worthy of serious consideration as Bruce Springsteen, and ascribing shame to pop pleasure is itself a shameful act.
"I'd say pop music is still the number one music that people listen to and has been for the past 70 years, 80 years -- however many years. As long as it's popular, it's pop music I guess."
Earlier this month, the 23-year-old star, who is about to release his new album 'x', also revealed he plans to write with One Direction again after the success of his song 'Little Things' but insists he wouldn't want to deal with them all at the same time.
He said: "I don't know what I could do with five people in a room. Like, if it was one on one, if I wrote five different songs, one with each of them, then it would work, but I'm a control freak when it comes to writing songs and too many cooks doesn't work.
"I'd want it to go in a certain direction - no pun intended - and, like, everyone has an opinion and I wouldn't want it dragged all those different ways. So yes, I would work with each of them individually, but not five of them at once."

Britain's Duchess Catherine learned about her grandmother's wartime role yesterday (18.06.14).
The duchess - who was known as Kate Middleton before her marriage to Prince William - visited Bletchley Park in Buckinghamshire, where World War II code breakers worked, and met with her late gran Valerie Glassborow's friend Lady Marion Body - and discovered the women were among the first to learn the war was over.
Lady Body said: "It was 15 August 1945, I think it was in the afternoon, and we happened to be on that shift. Our superior officer, Commander Williams, came into the room smiling and he said, 'Well done, girls. A signal has been intercepted from Tokyo to Geneva and it's the signal that the Japanese are surrendering.
"We just sat there in complete silence...
"It's something that I could never tell anybody that happened to me, obviously, because we were sworn to secrecy. But it was a great moment to feel you were perhaps among the first people to hear the war was at last over."
Lady Body, 90, admitted Catherine was stunned by the revelation.
She added: "She didn't know about that and said she'd go and tell her father.
"She wanted to know what she did here. I was able to tell her. Valerie would never have spoken about it - I wouldn't have done until recently.
"Valerie died a few years ago and it was only fairly recently that people felt able to talk about it."
Catherine said: "What an incredible story that you shared your time here with my grandmother.
"It's so moving for me, and to be here as well.
"I was aware of it when I was a young girl and I often asked granny about it but she was very quiet and never said anything."
During her visit, Catherine was able to view the interactive exhibitions and demonstrations, as well as meet the team who worked on the £8 million restoration project to create a visitors centre and new exhibitions and interactive displays.

Sandra Bullock's alleged stalker has been charged with 19 felonies relating to weapon possession.
Joshua Corbett - who was arrested after spending over five hours in the 'Gravity' actress' home earlier this month - was discovered to have an "arsenal" of weapons in his house, including seven machine guns.
As well as seven charges for those guns, he also faces two counts of possession of an assault weapon and 10 counts of possession of a destructive device - believed to be red-tipped tracer rounds - as well as being charged for stalking the actress, TMZ reports.
Despite his huge cache of weaponry, it is believed Corbett didn't want to harm the Hollywood beauty but just wanted to see her, though she locked herself in a room before calling police.
The alleged stalked reportedly managed to scale over the barbed wire surrounding the property and enter the $16 million house at around 1am while Sandra was asleep, but she only made the 911 call after finding him rifling through her belongings at 6:30 am.
When officers arrived on the scene within four minutes, they found Joshua in the grounds outside the 49-year-old star's house.

Jennifer Lopez reads self-help books.
The 44-year-old singer and actress admits she is constantly "searching for answers" and as well as the advisory tomes, she also looks to religion for guidance.
She said: "I'm a big soul searcher and I read a lot of, like, self-help books, you know what I mean.
"I am always kinda searching for answers. I'll randomly just open a Bible looking for answers and guidance."
It was recently announced that Jennifer - who has six-year-old twins Max and Emme with ex-husband Marc Anthony - had ended her relationship with dancer Casper Smart, and despite him being her date for the Billboard Music Awards last month, she appeared to suggest they only went to the ceremony as friends.
Asked by talk show host Wendy Williams if she was single as in "not intimate with anybody at this time,"Jennifer replied "Yes, I've been single for a couple of months."
The 'On the Floor' hitmaker insists she isn't bothered about a guy's looks as she is attracted to their "essence".
She said: "I don't look at the outside so much. I'm not an outside-cover person, I am more of, like, an essence of person."

Angelina Jolie is in talks to become a citizen of Namibia so she can become a dame.
The 39-year-old actress was recently bestowed with an honourary damehood by Britain's Queen Elizabeth in her Birthday Honours, but as she is an American she cannot officially use the title.
However, the 'Maleficent' star has now been advised she could refer to herself as Dame Angelina Jolie by becoming a citizen of Namibia, which is part of the Commonwealth and she feels using the title would help with her charity work.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Angelina was blown away when she was made a dame. She thinks it will add gravitas to her in her humanitarian work.
"Gradually she will focus less on acting and more on world issues and this helps to detract from her Hollywood history."
Angelina has close ties to the African country as it is where she gave birth to eight-year-old daughter Shiloh - her first biological child with fiancé Brad Pitt - in 2006. The youngster is considered a Namibian citizen and has a passport issued by the country.
The Namibian Embassy says it would be happy to consider the A-list actress for citizenship.
A representative said: "We would welcome Angelina Jolie to make an application for citizenship, just like anyone else."
Angelina - who also raises adopted kids Maddox, 12, Pax, 10, and Zahara, nine, and biological twins Knox and Vivienne, five, with Brad - has become a lauded public figure for her humanitarian efforts in ending sexual violence in conflict zones through the United Nations (UN).

Cher Lloyd thinks all pop stars should be homeless.
The former 'X Factor' star, who has been touring America for the past two years, claims living out of a suitcase and having no permanent home is easier when you're performing at different venues every night.
She told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I don't have a home. I'm homeless. That's the way to do it when you're being asked to travel. It's pointless having a home."
The 20-year-old star, who is married to hairdresser Craig Monk, lives out of 11 suitcases when she's touring the globe and keeps most of her other belongings in the UK.
She explained: "I have to take everything with me. I have a storage container in the UK that I keep most of my worldly goods in.
"All the contents from my home got dropped off one day and locked up, and we haven't been back since."
But the singer admits it's not all glamorous and she misses home comforts when she's on the road.
She said: "I'm so bored of room service, because I like cooking. It's a bit of a pain."
The former traveller is used to moving from one place to another and has been taking along her husband since they tied the knot in November.
Cher explained: "He travels with me everywhere. It wouldn't work if he didn't. He's there to deal with all the rubbish as well. I've got a very hectic lifestyle, so he's definitely not sunning it up."
The couple hired a huge manor house for the intimate ceremony and invited just 20 close friends and family but they've been too busy to go on a honeymoon.
Cher claims they want to wait until they have children to take a break from their busy schedules, but insists they are not in a rush to start a family.
She said: "We're so lucky to be able to travel around and experience things and I definitely want to do that without all the screaming for a while.
"I'll know when I'll feel right. We were made to create. When my body starts telling me I have the urge to, I'll do it."

'Coronation Street's Faye Windass is to fall pregnant.
The Weatherfield schoolgirl - who turned 12 on the show in March - will become the youngest parent in the soap's history in a shock new storyline.
While soap bosses know the plot will be controversial,it will be handled in a "sensitive" way.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "This is bound to be a controversial storyline but the programme has a history of handling difficult subject matters in a sensitive and considerate way."
Faye, who is played by 13-year-old Ellie Leach, has been a show regular since being adopted by Anna Windass 2011 and has been seen going off the rails, with her antics including stealing a handbag, tormenting brain-damaged Nick Tilsley, and returning home from a bowling party drunk.
It has not yet been revealed who will be the father of the young mum's baby.
The new plot comes after the ITV soap saw Sarah-Louise Platt give birth when she was just 13 years old in an equally controversial storyline 14 years ago.
'Hollyoaks' previously broadcast a storyline featuring a 12-year-old mother and father.

Lucy Watson hasn't had sex in a year.
The 'Made In Chelsea' star claims she's upset by rumours that she sleeps with a lot of men because she insists it couldn't be further from the truth.
Quizzed on what the biggest misconception people have about her is, she admitted: "That I date a lot of guys and sleep around. I haven't slept with anyone in the last year. I'd rather wait until I have a boyfriend."
The 23-year-old reality TV star - who previously dated love-rat co-star Spencer Matthews - isn't going to settle for anything less than perfect, however, as she has a tall order when it comes to the qualities she looks for in a partner.
When asked to describe the man of her dreams, she said: "Really funny, honest, loyal, likes animals, tall, dark, nice eyes, works out."
Lucy - who is currently filming a New York-based spin-off of 'Made in Chelsea' - also confessed she had a holiday romance during her last visit to the US and was devastated to leave her beau behind.
She explained to Star magazine: "I met a really great American guy in January. I was very sad to leave. It restored my faith in men."
Asked whether she would be returning to the Big Apple to see him again, she added: "He's not in New York, but maybe..."

'Coronation Street's' Rob Donovan and Peter Barlow are set for a big showdown at Tina McIntyre's funeral next week.
The soap villains will come to blows on Monday (23.06.14) when a drunken Peter - played by Chris Gascoyne - turns up to Tina's wake and tries to talk to his estranged wife, Rob's sister Carla (Alison King).
Carla and Rob (Marc Baylis) are reeling from the revelation that Peter had an affair with Tina before she was killed by Rob last month and is determined to keep him away from his sister.
Marc told Inside Soap magazine: "Rob has promised Carla that he'll be there for her, especially since she has lost [her and Peter's] baby. Rob hates Peter - he thinks he's a loser and blames him for everything that happened. He never felt he was good enough for Carla."
While Rob pushed Tina off a balcony and later finished the job by hitting her over the head with a metal pipe, Peter is the main suspect in the barmaid's murder due to their tempestuous affair.
Evil Rob is now eager to pin the crime on Peter at all costs.
Marc said: "He wants Peter arrested and charged with killing Tina. He knows Peter is already the main suspect in the murder investigation and once the police have got their man, the pressure will be off.
"It's totally justified in his mind. He genuinely feels that although Peter didn't commit the actual murder, if he hadn't had the affair and started drinking again, Tina wouldn't be dead."

Tom Hardy has injured his ankle while filming 'Legend'.
The 36-year-old actor - who portrays notorious gangsters Ronnie and Reggie Kray in the crime thriller was rushed to hospital for X-rays after hurting himself while shooting a fight scene last week.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Tom went over on it pretty hard. He's a tough guy but you could tell he was in pain. They didn't take any chances and carted him off to hospital for an X-ray."
Despite his injury "giving him grief", Tom has returned to work on the set in South London.
When his role in the film was announced, the 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy' actor admitted it would be "difficult" to portray both Reggie and Ronnie - who were known as perpetrators of organised crime in the East End of London during the 1950s and 1960s - and it was something he'd never thought of doing before.
He said: "All the plans are on the table. There's a lot of crossing the t's and dotting the i's, and there's a lot of shift and geography to work out.
"It would be difficult. It's quite technical and I'm a bit of an anorak.
"There's a physical transfer; we'd have to shoot one bit, go away come back and shoot it all again with another part. I've never dreamt of playing two people on the screen!"
