Yeah, but can you do that in the water…or in Pennsylvania?
Okay, the MTV Movie Blog picked up some info on the robots gone wild sequel.
First off, Jonah Hill is not joining the cast, as had been reported in some outlets. However, producer Lorenzo di Bonaventure said they would “have a couple casting surprises for everybody soon.” Hmmm…I’m guessing Tom Cruise. What do you think?
Stars of the first Transformers, Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, and Jon Voight are all returning, though. Shooting is supposed to start in Philadelphia and Bethlehem, PA, next month.
Another rumor that Bonaventura shot down: the ol’ transforming aircraft carrier boondoggle. Here’s what the producer had to say:
“A transforming aircraft carrier?” Bonaventura repeated, denying its existence. “We saw a Japanese film that had something like that, so maybe that’s where that comes from.”
“We never really talked about that, practically speaking,” he said of the character who might or might not have been known as Broadside, and who Bay has said was simply too expensive to create. “There was some Japanese animated movie we saw where that occurred, and we were like ‘Wow! Look at that thing!’”
Indeed.
