The Hollywood Reporter has posted an article regarding the casting of Rainn Wilson for TF2. In the article, it gives us a look at the production of the film and some of the events that will be taking place during the filming. Another interesting bit of info is the mention of returning cast members. Taken from The Hollywood Reporter:

"The sequel to last year's megahit about a race of automotive automatons smashing it out on Earth reteams director Michael Bay with returning stars Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson and John Turturro."

Most of the cast returning had already been confirmed, but this is our first report of Josh Duhamel and John Turturro returning. It is easy to assume that Duhamel will resume his role as Captain Lennox of the United States Air Force, but as for Turturro and the disbanning of Sector 7, its anyones guess what his role will be.

You can view the original report here.

It's entirely possible that Agent Simmons is now Ambassador Simmons, assigned to be the liason between the Autobots and the government. It's also not a stretch that the Autobots have converted the old Sector Seven headquarters at Hoover Dam into their new base. Of course, this is merely conjecture.

What Lennox and crew will be doing is anyone's guess.

That's disappointing, considering they were two of the worst characters in the movie.

Simmon? Ambassador? No way. Guy probbaly got a job working security at a Toys R Us. I don't think the Autobots particularly like him, especially after what happened when he complicated their mission that was practically complete until he showed up.

As for the old S7 base being converted into an Autobot base, it's possible. A nice nod to the original Autobot HQ being an underground base/Crashed ship hough there's no crashed ship this time.

That's disappointing, considering they were two of the worst characters in the movie.


As for the worst chars in the film, I think Maggie and Glenn were the worst ones though Rachel did a good job with her role. Glenn only served in helping summon the F-22's.

Lennox was probably the best character but not developed like Sam and Mikela.

I agree about the base but i feel that Agent/Ambassador Simmons Is more just a liason with no real power anymore. :mrgreen: And then we are forgetting his Resourcefulness He may have some real ower inthis movie. As for lennox he is probably Ironhides Best buddy now with them being veterans and all.

Hmm, if Lennox is back, does that include his entire unit? Those guys were bad-**s and hillarious at the same time, like the part where Lennox needs a credit card to call the Pentagon in the last Middle East Scene with Scorponok raining an unending volley of explosives at the town :lol: .

Simmonds had some good lines, like when trying to calm Sam's mom down (Have you been experiencing any flu like synptoms recently?) and the whole scene where he had to undress himself to his tank top and Tropical shorts (swimming trunks?) was priceless. If there is just one scene in TF2 where he's running with his arms up through a hallway, screaming like a little girl for any reson whatsoever (giant fireball, soilders chasing him, any of Soundwave's minions, etc.) and he lives to face humiliation for it, that will make up for any pointless moments anywhere else in the movie involving him.

Oh yeah, speaking of Simmonds, they should totaly make Superman style S7 tank tops like he does, I'd wear one (under another TF shirt :mrgreen: )

If anyone has been reading the suposedly fake sripts of the movie you will see that while Sector-7 did infact did get disbanded they are not necissarly gone for good. Like with all agencies it merly took on a new role and came up with a new name it is now called LUXOR working secretly undercover at a LA Casino as you might of read this is were a huge battle will take place in downtown LA. Agent Simmons is the head of it now but I dont know about that other dude who was in the Pentagon with Secretary Keller.

I say they are going with that one script about the Orb of light that is a fragment of the Allspark and it is currently powering LA. I dont know if they will be going with the 2 Decepticon teams like the script sayss one is Loyal to Starscream and one is loyal to Megatron.
I do agree with the EMP deal since they might of found a way around the Sabot Rounds so LUXOR had a hidden EMP device has a backup in that huge space needle.

I forgot what site I saw the fake script from but it fits the current movie and ties in nicely with part 1. But I say it wont be exacltly like that script and a few things here and there will be changed but that is the one I am banking on.

Autobots I think will be in the movie
Optimus Prime
Ratchet
Iron Hide
Bumblebee
Arcee
Hot Rod Ferarri or the new concept car
Ultramagnus A Transfer that will load up cars
Geiatriatic robot Aplha Trion, Vector Prime or Kup

Decepticons
Starscream
Shockwave
Ravage
Thundercacker
Blitzwing
Scorpinok
Frenzy
Megatron/Galvatron maybe not until the end of the movie
Lazerbeak
Buzzsaw
Soundwave

Yeha but Simmons was basically a spoof of the a$$hole government agent who got what was coming to him, via Bumblebee. It may have been crude but you have to admit, he had it coming. :lol:

Simmons was the one character that made me cringe in the film.

Glenn on the other hand was hilarious.

I liked Glenn and Lennox's characters. Simmons on the other hand...eh, not sure. I think I started to like him a bit more near the end of the film. He might bring some interesting tension to the movie.

Kinda hoping Arcee isn't in the next one. Basically because I'm not sure if I want to see a "realistic" Bay version of a "femme bot". Could be cool, could be... :|

I can so see Hot Rod as that Ferrari! Wouldn't mind Wheeljack making an appearance either. 8)

Woooo! I love John Turturro, he's one of my favourite actors! It was such a surprise to have him in the first film, it'll be great to see him again!

And Josh Duhamel was alot of fun too, glad to hear they'll both be returning.

Believe it or not, that type of situation really did happen in Iraq. My brother was in the squadron of Marines when they were attacked and the comm was knocked out. They had to use a cell phone for reinforcements. it actually showed good resourcefulness on their part. My bro's squadron didn't lose a single guy...apparently those insurgent fighters can't shoot straight. :P

As for the news, I'm glad Duhamel is back. It makes sense: he has the most experience fighting the 'Cons so they put him in charge when they show up again. I still feel sorry for poor Blackout...he got felled by a crotch shot- never a good thing. :mrgreen:

To me, them 2 and the techs returning makes sence.

I can't see a need for Sam though.

the reason most people are calling fake on this supposed script is that it is written in prose rather than traditional script format(i.e.scene descriptions,blocking(set up for actors in a given scene),dialogue).and honestly i am inclined to agree that it is fake.

Did they get rid of Spike after the first few episodes of G1? Because Sam serves the same purpose.

Except what was 'leaked' was a script treatment - which is a proposal for a script. Treatments are written in prose. If the proposal is accept, then the final screenplay is written in the traditional 'theatrical' format.

Sector 7 was so stupid. No need for Autobots, since the humans apparently can kill Transformers with their special weaponry. :???:
