I don't know if this is a fake or not but if it's true, I told you guys so. I had posted on another thread like this and I said the comedy should be kept at a minimum and not in every scene. This movie is serious and big to have someone come in and make it into a comedy. This is about the Autobots and the Decepticons fighting each other. Hence the title "Transformers".

This is GREAT news. Jonah just seems like a complete arse. I absolutely hated Superbad just because none of the characters (except the cops) were likeable at all. He was even crap in Sarah Marshall. There appears to be evil and arrogance in his eyes. If he does appear in Transformers 2, I can guarantee the final gross will be about $300m short of the first film.

Mr T, you are the biggest effing idiot I've ever seen walk on four legs.

Peter Berg Wed, May 7, 2008 at 06:56 PM EST

uh, this movie isn't "big" shockquake, it's just another tumble toward the hell cinema is inevitably going to find itself in due to over blown jackasses like Michael Bay (and chum Uwe Boll) making stupid movies like Transformers. Please, tell me you liked Alien vs. Predator: Reqiuem. Please. (by the way, Jonah Hill for the win!)

peter berg: how do you know this movie isn't big if you haven't seen it yet. You don't know what's going to happen in this 2nd movie or who's going to be in it. When I say big I mean it will be a blockbuster or even surpass TF 1. Don't jump to conclusions man.

If you think Transformers is stupid then why are you posting here or even reading about it.

You're all insane. Jonah Hill is the hottest guy in the whole world AND the funniest, most amazing actor since Charles Grodin or Ben Gazzara (funny in a different way but comparable genius). I would pay good money to see him, like, turn into a truck or whatever, BUT without him in it I would never dream of attending this debacle. Without Jonah Hill, you might as well set the Tom-Tom in your mammoth nerdmobiles for the junkyard and steer 'em right in. DreamWorks just transformed themselves into a box office bomb! George Lucas just jumped the shark! Jonah Hill should be in all movies from now on. Spoiler alert: this movie will suck.

Two rumours don't make a right.

Thank goodness he thinks he's worth more than he is. Now we don't have to suffer through yet another of Jonah's horrifically annoying performances.

Mr T, I didn't even see Superbad because he was in it. I figured the title described his acting.

I quite jonah hills perfomances for the most part, granted Strange Wilderness was crap but you can only do so much with an awful script. And i response to Mr T i can happily say Jonah Hill is a really nice guy, got speak with him for a quite a while when i attended a regional premier for Superbad in the U.K and he's nothing like you presume him to be.

Palmer Thu, May 8, 2008 at 09:09 AM EST

PS: appologies for the awful typing, think i went a bit quick there. hope the point still got through...

If you are truly Peter Berg then prove it by marrying me.

Does anyone really care who is in Transformers 2?

Peter Berg Sat, May 10, 2008 at 02:55 AM EST

uhhh
