The Movie Reporter reports on their site another rumor in regards to casting of the Michael Bay Transformers sequel. According to their article, rising star Jonah Hill, who is best known for comedic movies like Superbad, is being tipped to play opposite Shia LaBeouf as Sam's college roommate.

Please keep in mind that Michael Bay has warned people that they send out false information to keep people in the dark. The article makes mention of the casting sheet that was released a while back, which was supposedly fake. But it could just as well be that the denial was bogus. So in effect anything is still possible.

YES!! Jonah Hill FTW!!! He's perfect for the role.

[Seibertron]

This would be awesome.

[JazZeke]

Oh crap. I can't stand that but. However, he does bear a more than passing resemblance to "O"...

[GetterDragun]

This person has never made me laugh. In fact, I kind of find him annoying.

You know, I thought the same thing when I created the avatar picture for the news item!

[Keeperofthespark]

I don't mind him at all, he just better not scream like a girl like he did in Accepted.

I say yesterday that on Teletext that Jonah Hill from Superbad and Forgetting Sarah Marshall is to star as Sam's 'sidekick' in TF2.
The words, great comic potenial came up. Comedy sidekick possibiltey.
It could be garbage , which i hope.

It sounds horrendous.

It conjors up images of Daniel in G1. Or worse.

It sounds like a red herring to me.

I hope it is a misleading rumour.

I'm not to big a fan of him either, but whatever happens happens. If TF2 is an hour of people and 15 minutes of bots, I'll be disapointed.

[Rushie]

Maybe he'll get as much screentime as Sam's other good buddy Miles. Say, 3 minutes or so.

Totally agree! maybe he will get squashed by a bot!
