Last week it was reported that Jonah Hill was in early negotiations to costar opposite Shia LaBeouf in Transformers 2. Entertainment Weekly is now reporting that negotiations between Hill and DreamWorks have broken down and the studio has moved on to other choices.
Supposed leaked casting breakdowns described the character as being Sam’s roommate at Princeton. Chuck (19-25 yrs) runs a conspiracy theory website and is funny in an irreverent, edgy way, he is shocked to see his conspiracy theories come to life.
Discuss: Knowing that the casting directors wanted Hill for the role, who would you cast as Hill’s replacement?

I really like the original sounding idea of a nerdy ‘out of shape’ (read: fat) friend of the protagonist, who runs a conspiracy theory website. Oh, and he is ‘funny in an irreverent, edgy way’.

Glenn Close.

Stephen Colbert could easily play a college undergrad

A John Travolta look-alike

What’s this about, cash? What else might he worry about, typecasting? Too late for that.
This has Gillian Anderson and X-Files Part Deux all over it. Once they say Julianne Moore is going to step into Hill’s shoes, you know Hill’s coming back.

THANK GOD! PRIASE MICHAEL BAY! THIS FAT UNFUNNY LOSER WOULD HAVE RUINED THE FILM. GET SOME ONE WHO ACTUALLY IS FUNNY, INSTEAD OF THIS BIG MOUTYH 3 YEAR OLD.

Oh god, ANYONE but him.
May 7th, 2008 at 9:56 am
Glad that rumor doesn’t isn’t taken fruition we don’t need Jonah
Hill playing himself in Transformers 2.
@Pete - Tyler Labine would be a fair choice. It would be like watching his character, Dave, from Invasion crossed his current
character Sock.
May 7th, 2008 at 9:59 am
TJ Miller (Hud) from Cloverfield would be a great choice!

How about they just stop making movies based on toys?
May 7th, 2008 at 10:21 am
Thank god! This kid is annoying as sin and is a horrible actor. If you need someone to say p*ssy and dick a lot, then hey, he’s your guy. Otherwise, roll his fat ass off a cliff and go on about your day.

Can we get Barack Obama to play his friend? Or do you think he’ll be busy?
May 7th, 2008 at 11:18 am
ellen page would be cool, they’s have to change the roomie status but she makes for a more believable love interest than megan foxxx
May 7th, 2008 at 12:21 pm
the character from Cher’s Mask would be good.

@ SUe
He can’t take on anything else, he’s six feet under his work already . . . I shouldn’t have said that, I apologize (but the Joker would have been oh so proud).

@ SUe and Floppy
too soon, too soon

Megan Fox (wearing glasses)
It might be obvious to some people that she is already playing a character in the movie, but I’d be okay with that.
May 8th, 2008 at 12:18 pm
Aw… I thought Hill would have done well in that part. I, unlike apparently everyone else on this site, like Jonah Hill.
Also… do the rest of you think you’re funny? No wonder you all hate every movie that comes out.. apparently you’re all mentally retarded 9 year olds.
