    I heard that George Clooney might be a possibility to do the voice of Optimus Prime, but this is not entirely official. Anyway, I plan to see this movie too, but hope that it doesn't end up turning to crap like some of the other movies I've looked forward to in the past (e.g. "Final Fantasy - The Spirits Within";) The CGI also needs to look REAL! Otherwise, I look forward to seeing it when it comes out... :)


    George Clooney put that rumor to rest a couple of months ago. He hasn't expressed any interest in it nor has anybody asked him to do it. Peter Cullen is the only way to go and the fans of the original movie have been more than vocal to both Michael Bay and Don Murphy that Peter Cullen and Frank Welker be included in the movie. :)

    This is news to you guys? I've known about this movie for a year now, and have been waiting impaciently!


    The thread was made in July, somebody just brought it back from the dead by posting and bumped it back up. So no, you're not getting a medal for knowing about this project for a year, as I have known longer than that :wink:


    But concerning the voices, george clooney isn't really on the radar right now. That was a rumor that came out several months ago but was denied up and down by both Don Murphy and Clooney.

    Right now the push is to have Peter Cullen and Frank Welker be the main voice actors. Don Murphy is behind it, Spielberg is behind it, and at least we know right now that Michael Bay UNDERSTANDS it. But it's still his call on whether or not to include the original voice actors. Don Murphy has said that they are nearing the end of the debate and it will be settled very soon. But right now it's still undecided.

    Good news for right now, Soundwave is NOT a helicopter as once reported. Murphy came out and squashed that notion once and for all, but that means the mystery continues as to who he will be and if he'll be like his original G1 form, with the transforming cassettes and all. Nobody expects him to be a cassette player, so if they include his minions (rumble, ravage, frenzy, etc.) then the writers will have to come up with something very creative.

    In other news, Activision has the rights for the movie video game (finally be able to kick ass with Optimus in truck form) and Hasbro has plans for an invasion of toys from the movie.

    Ok, I didn't read the post after Soundwave being a helicopter, why is he not a CD player or and ipod? It would make since if he was a CDplayer because Rumble, Frenzy,etc could be CDs. For the ipod his minons could be the case, headphones or other accessories Apple could exploit. Watch them steal my ideas.

    Rumble, Frenzy, Lazorbeak, and the other cassettbots being changed into CDs won't work, not unless they're about 10 CDs thick, otherwise, there's nothing to work with. So if the CGI cast is G1, then we're back to magnetic media, if they include them at all. (If so, I hope they make just one change, and give Ravage his Beast Wars form.)

    I think they're trying to keep a certain element or realism to the robots, so there wont be things like a 8 inch wide tape player transforming into a 20 foot robot. Thats why we wont see Soundwave as a tape player, Megatron as a handgun etc.

    I've been following the news since the official site went live. The Lebeuf kid from Holes is supposedly playing Spike. No voices confirmed yet.

    Soundwave WILL NOT be a cassette player, thus he will have no cassette minions. Shockwave will not be a gun, rumored to be a helicopter.

    Megatron WILL NOT be a pistol, he will be a tank. This is pretty much fact.

    New news as of late is that Starscream will be a F-22 and not a F-15- i think is BS. Don't get me wrong I love the f-22, but the Starscream we all love to hate is a badass F-15.

    Bumblebee will supposedly have a new Camaro body after his old body was destroyed.

    And finally Optimus Prime supposedly will not be a red frieghtliner semi, instead he'll be a red firetruck--also BS.

    Now some of this is rumors since Micheal Bay won't confirm much. But I'm gonna be pissed if they change all the bot and alt modes into something new. The thing that got me excited was picturing a red semi being chased down the highway by a screaming f-15 then transforming and duking it out.

    Megatron being a tank I understand, but changing the others to fit his own vision is a different story.

    The Spike casting is a good choice.

    You think they'll include Stan Bush's "The Touch" in the movie! :lol:
