I guess fatboy wanted too much $

I guess fatboy wanted too much $

And by what rights would he claim to deserve a lot of money. He should have taken what he got to get in a blockbuster and get more people seeing him.

[Smigit]

I'd be so happy if they didnt go looking for characters to provide comedic relief. Any actor can have their "funny" moment, characters just there to be laughed at but come off as forced and annoying just as that donut eating hacker guy in the 1st did. He also added nothing to the story and could have been outright removed.

So yeah, glad talks broke down with that guy but innevitably they'll just get someone else. In all honesty the Transforms social misbehaviours were probably the funniest parts so I'd just stick to that.

Jonah Hill probably thinks people owe him alot more since Superbad.

[Ashiaveli]

Watch him in Strange Wildnerness and you'll be glad he didn't get it.

I liked him in Superbad but you can only take that so far.

Yay T2

Yay T2

Please don't' ever use that moniker. It's reserved for probably one of the greatest all time films.

Lol Ok Transformers 2

[EnzoFX]

Glad Jonah's not on. I don't think that would have worked out well. He gets a little annoying for me during interviews.

[SuperJediMedia]

DO NOT cast Johan Hill, I AGAINST!!!

I guess you didn't enjoy the first. If so, why bother seeing or paying any attention to the second.

In a welcome surprise, director Michael Bay has confirmed on his message board that he has cast Aussie soap actress Isabel Lucas (TV's "Home and Away") for the role of "Alice" in the upcoming "Transformers" sequel.

Lucas name was first rumored last week after appearing on an online casting database. As two previous casting rumors were shot down by Bay in the previous fortnight, many wondered if the Lucas casting would turn out to be another bit of speculation (myself included).

Turns out the talk was correct and Lucas is in. Meanwhile the film has been added to a list of upcoming 3-D releases for next year in the latest issue of the Dolby newsletter. The problem though is one of availability of 3D screens with "Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs" already locking up a lot of the Digital 3D screens available in the marketplace.

[Antaris Veteran]

Sex! She won't ever take Ms. Fox's place though!

[Rappy Veteran]

Just googled her, shes pretty easy on the eyes.

[Lqv2015]

She sorta looks like Rachael Taylor.

Isabel Lucas

I can hardly wait for more confusing special effects surrounding a pathetic weak storyline combined with nonsensical robot-on-robot action and the warped creation/destruction of childhood favourites from the original series.

lol

Philadelphia Location Confirmed and Extra's Needed

The Bethlehem Steel site is what drew the makers of 'Transformers 2' to the Lehigh Valley, Bethlehem Mayor John Callahan said.

The movie crew will film in Bethlehem during the first week of June and will use the blast furnaces as the scene's backdrop, Callahan said. ''It's going to bring a tremendous amount of excitement to the city,'' especially for any locals who nab walk-on roles, he added.

According to an announcement from Heery Casting of Philadelphia, the filmmakers hope to cast local ''Asian men and women, boys and girls, ages 7 [to] 65'' as paid extras in the movie. In particular, the crew hopes to recruit extras of Asian descent who have military backgrounds.

Tyrese Confirms role in Sequel, John Voight as well:

'I just talked to Shia a second ago, and left John Voight a message 15 minutes ago,' he said, inadvertently letting slip that Voight's Secretary of Defense character returns for the sequel.

'Michael Bay is going to up the ante on round two and raise the level. I can't go into any details , but it's going to be some real one of a kind things in this movie that no one has seen visually in their life. Michael Bay is really fired up to try and outdo what he did on the first round.'
