While most major companies are dying to be a part of Transformers Live Action Movie Franchise, Beijing Pangu Investment Company states that they don't want to be a part of Transformers: Age Of Extinction. Reason? Variety has the scoop.

The company owns Pangu Plaza Hotel, a high-tech real estate development that is featured in the film. However, it says that Paramount Pictures and its associates did not abide by the terms of its promotional agreement. It is barring the studio from using its logos or buildings in any promotional materials for the film.

“This has caused huge financial loss and damage to the reputation of our company,” Beijing Pangu Investment said in a statement.

“When marketing and distributing ‘Transformers: Age of Extinction,’ (the studio) is not allowed to use our company’s image, logo, our building’s inside and outside views and its recognizable elements,” the statement continues. “If already used in the film, they shall all be deleted.”

“Pangu Plaza has a prominent placement in ‘Transformers 4′ and it looks beautiful onscreen,” a spokesman for Paramount said in a statement. “We regret that Pangu is not currently satisfied with certain aspects of our collaboration and are working to resolve its concerns.”

Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura states that there are practical limitations when it comes to do a Live Action Movie based on a Transformers/G. I. Joe Crossover.

During an interview with the producer, a question was asked regarding the possibility of a Transformers/G. I. Joe Live Action Movie Crossover. To which, the producer replied:

"No, we haven't spent a moment on it. I know they did it in the comic books, but I think the reality that we're looking at is...it's hard enough to figure out how to do it alone and [then] trying to figure out how to do it together...I don't think that it's as organic as people think. I know a lot of the fans feel that way and I don't think they're wrong. I find it a harder thing to do, think about trying to combine the schedules of all the different people. So, that alone will probably stop us."
