Michael Bay's Transformers: Age of Extinction hit theaters on June 27th. Age of Extinction is the fourth film in the franchise.
Check out my interview with Steve Tihanyi, GM's General Director for Branded Entertainment, and James Bell, Head of Consumer Affairs, General Motors as they tell us about the custom concept cars built just for this movie and share behind the scenes footage from the set of the film.
About the talent:

Global auto shows, licensing and vehicle management also fall under his preview. Additionally, he oversees key marketing alliances such as the NFL, Major League Baseball, NCAA and the GM Test Track at Disney's Epcot World. Prior to returning to GM's Detroit headquarters, Tihanyi had been in the North Central region serving as the Regional Divisional Marketing Manager for the Cadillac, Hummer and Saab brands managing all the marketing activity across 11 states working closely with the retail dealer network.

During his tenure, James has diligently analyzed and effectively communicated automotive data and research to multiple constituencies, including the national and international media, automotive manufacturers, dealers, and the every-day shopper.
