Bay Testing Lead Actors for TF4 (Updated)

Michael Bay is beginning the casting process for the parts of a high school girl, who will be Mark Wahlberg's character's daughter, and race car driver in Transformers 4. Once again, it looks like Bay is looking for more unknown actors rather than up and coming stars. Two actresses are vying for the part of the high school girl: Isabelle Cornish, the sister of Australian actress Abbie Cornish (Sucker Punch, Limitless), and Nicola Peltz, who starred in The Last Airbender. Meanwhile, five actors are vying for the part of the girl's boyfriend, who is also a race car driver from Texas: Luke Grimes (Brothers and Sisters, Taken 2), Landon Liboiron (Terra Nova), Brenton Thwaites (Blue Lagoon), Jack Reynor and Hunter Parrish (Weeds). The actors must sign on to three picture deal with Paramount Pictures if they want to be cast in Transformers 4.

UPDATE: Add two actresses to the list: Gabriella Wilde (Three Musketeers) and Margaret Qualley.
