Looks like the French Trailer isn't the only piece of DOTM goodness to come out of the Cannes Film Festival. Check out this interactive display by clicking here.

I CANT WAIT.

I find it somewhat funny that Megatron hasn't appeared in any DOTM trailer yet.

Why is that? You don't want to completely give away everything in the movie. Granted he's no secert and does have a new alt mode, but we have seen him already. But its best to break it up a bit. Personally, i'm glad they showed Shockwave. He's the new main villian, so he should get the trailer spot.

I'm dying to know who's voicing Shockwave. David Warner or bust.

AMAZING

Good choice. I think Liam Neeson would be a good fit as well.

So the French really do have a fine taste in cinema. Good to hear.








*Yes, I'm 100% serious when I say that. Haters gonna hate.

I second David Warner for Shockwave. Why? Three reasons:

1. Corey Burton, the actor who voiced both G1 Shockwave and Animated Shockwave, has stated that he will not and cannot voice Shockwave in the upcoming DOTM movie:

I wish them nothing but the very best for the wildly successful franchise; and have practically no interest in that kind of mega-budget movie enterprise involvement. I'm much too busy as it is, and thoroughly rewarded already many times over for the work I've done under the Transformers brand.

2. Burton's Shockwave voice had been an impression of Warner's own voice. Burton had based his Shockwave voice off of that of Warner's Sark character from the first Tron movie, and years later, Burton would go on to be the voice of Sark in the Kingdom Hearts video games. So, it's almost as though David Warner had (spiritually) been the true voice of Shockwave all along.

3. Corey Burton himself has heard word that Warner is being considered for the role of DOTM Shockwave, and he fully supports this:

It is rumored that David Warner himself has been under consideration for the next live-action/CGI movie production, as Shockwave - which I feel is entirely appropriate, given Mr. Bay's propensity for casting Screen Personalities over multi-voiced off-camera "cartoon" character voice actors - and Mr. Warner's outstanding history of consistently vivid and "savory" character performances (a much under-appreciated and impressively versatile master craftsman in the fine art of Acting, across the entire spectrum of audio/visual performance media).

If the voice of Shockwave himself believes this man to be the ideal choice, I see no other option to consider here.

Precisely why I want Warner to voice him. I knew Burton had based his Shockwave off of him, which I always felt was perfect. To get the very inspiration of the voice in the first place to play him in this movie would just make my day.

I'm loving that display.
I'd like to keep it in my apartment until the movie comes out after they've finished with it after Cannes if they'll let me.

Whoa...Who is that red one we see at the beginning of that video (on our left)? Mirage? Leadfoot?

I spy, with my little eye, Mirage.
