Jonah Hill is in early negotiations to costar opposite Shia LaBeouf in Transformers 2 according to EW. Hill would likely play the role of Sam’s college roommate Chuck.
[CHUCK] 19-25 yrs., Sam’s roommate at Princeton. He runs a conspiracy theory website. Funny in an irreverent, edgy way, he is shocked to see his conspiracy theories come to life. (2nd Lead)
But of course, Michael Bay claims the casting breakdown which leaked to the web earlier this month was actually misinformation. Yeah, right… I actually think Hill would make a perfect addition as Sam’s conspiracy theory obsessed friend.
Discuss: Does Jonah Hill belong in Transformers 2?

Only if he curses like in Superbad and has period stains on his pants.

^ rofl.
I think he should be, he’s so funny.
Though not that funny when being interviewed.
April 30th, 2008 at 4:24 am
I doubt his background in the Apatow troupe will have prepared him for Michael Bay’s approach to “comedy”.
Don’t lower yourself to this Jonah.
As for the whole “misinformation” thing? Total, complete and utter bullsh*t.
April 30th, 2008 at 4:26 am
no because he’s cool
April 30th, 2008 at 4:50 am
Ho way, please do not cast him!!! He would ruin the film, talks way too much. and everything he says has to be funny, please NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!
April 30th, 2008 at 4:58 am
NOoooooooooo!
April 30th, 2008 at 5:14 am
I hope to god that they don’t cast him. He would ruin the movie.
Hill just needs to stick to bad comedy movies.
April 30th, 2008 at 6:00 am
Jesus… Bad enough they are using Shia LaBeouf, as we’ll gt the same little dork character a second time.
If the last film was a teen love movie with robots in it, then what will this be? A college comedy with robots in it?
April 30th, 2008 at 6:02 am
He might as well. He can’t make it suck more.
April 30th, 2008 at 6:06 am
This is a movie that does not need to be made. At all.
April 30th, 2008 at 6:09 am
This is a horrible idea. Please don’t put this fat bastard in the movie. Transformers is not about comedy, it’s about action. Less human time, more Transformer time!
April 30th, 2008 at 8:12 am
I don’t have an opinion either way about it, but I can see why he would want to be casted and why the studio would want to cast him.
He has a built in fan-base being the poster-face for the new genre of raunchy slacker teen comedys that have sprung up. I know the first time I saw him was in “Grandma’s Boy” and I thought he was hilarious. He’s perfect to lend ‘cool’ and ‘non-geek’ credit to the Transformers franchise in my opinion.
April 30th, 2008 at 8:27 am
No
April 30th, 2008 at 9:06 am
No to the fat bast*rd !!!
Thats right, more decepticons, lets get into their hierarchy, learn about the clans, Starscream, etc… keep the girl though, oh my , what a piece she is… no to the fat kid!!!
April 30th, 2008 at 9:22 am
He’s good, but there’s no way he could believably out run any of the transformers, I couldn’t even believe it when Shia Le(Poof) did it in the first one.
April 30th, 2008 at 9:52 am
Anyone else getting tired of this kid? If it wasn’t for Rogen (another guy I’m getting tired of seeing) he wouldn’t be anywhere. I think he actually made Walk Hard even worse.
April 30th, 2008 at 10:28 am
I’d rather see him in the Transiberian Orchestra (with a period stain on his pants).
April 30th, 2008 at 10:35 am
Please, dear God. No.
April 30th, 2008 at 11:41 am
College? He’s like 30+
April 30th, 2008 at 11:44 am
didn’t they already have a fat funny guy in the first one? anthony anderson?
April 30th, 2008 at 12:18 pm
yes, Sooo tired of this kid, he would kill the film. Mr. Bay, please avoid at all costs! Rogen is another no-talent. Ugh, why are we, the american public flooded with crap from these idiots?
No to fat stuff! No to fat stuff! Joe is right, he can;t outrun anything, unless he sees a hot dog cart. and ghost is right, these guys are boring, same candor and crap. I think his real name is Jonah Hamberglerp see wiki.
COBRA !!
April 30th, 2008 at 12:25 pm
Ah, Micheal Bay…Uwe Boll with a larger budget.
April 30th, 2008 at 1:28 pm
bad career move if true.
April 30th, 2008 at 2:07 pm
Mis-information perhaps?
April 30th, 2008 at 8:57 pm
Whenever I see him, I can only laugh. He was superb at SuperBad.
May 1st, 2008 at 12:22 am
I would rather Megan Fox take up all the on camera minutes they would give that fat ass.
May 2nd, 2008 at 1:05 am
jonah all they way, in any movie,
May 27th, 2008 at 10:11 am
Why is Transformers becoming such a Jewfest? It’s bad enough having Shia LeJew doing his bad Woody Allen all over the first film, but now a second fatter Jew? Is Megatron’s plan going to be to circumcise all humanity or what?
May 27th, 2008 at 10:44 am
He’s no longer being considered for the movie, so lets move on to the next topic…
May 29th, 2008 at 1:48 am
Is that New Zealand chick going to be in it again? I actually thought she was hotter than Samantha Fox. Anyone else ever read the old Marvel Transformers comics? Scorpnok was the leader in the end of that series.
