Bay promised that the sequel will feature a lot more actual Transformers, but he certainly isn’t dialing back much on the human components. The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that a bunch of the original Transformers cast has signed on to return for the sequel. Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson and John Turturro will reprise their roles in Michael Bay’s Transformers 2.
I think it has always been assumed that Fox would return as Sam’s girlfriend (or possibly ex-girlfriend). I’m also not surprised that Duhamel and Gibson are being brought back as the human faces of the military, especially since they have tactical experience battling the big robots (or at least that’s what I hope the storyline military’s explanation is, because if Duhamel and Gibson’s characters just happen to be in the right place at the right time, that would be really sloppy screenwriting). I am somewhat shocked that Turturro is being brought as his s7 role seemed to polarize audiences. Some people loved him, some thought he was annoying and took away from the film.

Just as long I can see more of Megan Fox’s transformers.
In-Theatre Erections, ROLL OUT!

First one was horrible, this will be more of the same, BAY is a horrible director.
May 29th, 2008 at 3:22 pm
Yeah. If they are smart, they will kill off John Turturro quickly and that is why he is being brought back
May 29th, 2008 at 3:36 pm
you know, this movie makes me want to die.
I loved transformers as a kid, and HATED this movie.
sure i watched it, and sure i want to marry Megan Fox….
But i HATE Bay and i want to Murder Shia LeBouf every time he gets cast in some other big budget part.
i really hope the kid knows he cant act at all, and that whats getting him jobs isnt skill, its hollywoods fetish with casting the same douchebags in every action flick.
Hes typecast. “hey we need some young punk to play a kid douchebag, GET ME SHIA!”

MY CHILDHOOD!

It’s just a movie people.
Murder?
Really?
May 29th, 2008 at 3:47 pm
Maybe this film will be about the rise of the transformed Mountain Dew machines and Xbox 360s. Kurtzman and Orci suck and Turturro’s character was garbage. When this pile of crap opens, I’ll be next door in the Uwe Boll movie having a better time.

Nobody f**ks with the Jesus
May 29th, 2008 at 3:51 pm
the only reason to watch this movie is megan fox….because she’s ridiculously hot
May 29th, 2008 at 4:02 pm
jim janes,
I’d drink her bath water.
May 29th, 2008 at 4:22 pm
John Turturro was unwatchable in the first one. I literally felt bad for him while the lights were still low. Whore!
May 29th, 2008 at 6:12 pm
John Turturro was the best part of that movie.
May 29th, 2008 at 7:36 pm
Hope they don’t include another retarded subplot like the hackers in the first movie
May 29th, 2008 at 9:35 pm
Her bath water, really? Besides her looks she’s not the best actress by far. But I will take her over Turturro…he just annoyed me to no end.
May 29th, 2008 at 10:03 pm
Chimaera,
Like Sam Jackson said in True Romance, “I eat everything. I eat the pussy, I eat the butt, I eat every-muthafuckin-thing!”
May 29th, 2008 at 11:19 pm
If Shia LeBouf and John Turturro arn’t killed off in the first 5mins I’d say we are in for the same crap as the first one; both of them annoyed me to no end.
Turturro was particulary bad because his charecter exemplified just how bad the script was. I mean fine, giant robots, the film doesn’t exactly have to be realistic but come on.. to have the head of a top top secret government organisation behaving that way turned the film into a farce.
And for gods sake charecter developement of the transformers this time pleeeease!
May 29th, 2008 at 11:46 pm
I don’t want character developement at all. Who the fuck wants that when you have GIANT FUCKING ROBOTS THAT TRANSFORM INTO COOL SHIT?!
You people want emo-bots. I want ass-kicking.
I just want to see robots beating the shit out of each other. Like what Optimus did when he decapitated that guy under the freeway. I want more of “that”. Give me robot war scenes that will make my eyes cry semen.
May 30th, 2008 at 12:46 am
Ok I don’t mean to suggest we have the transformers having D&Ms with each other and breaking down into tears when one of their comrades dies.
I do however think they should be more relied upon for charecter moments than friggin Shia.
I’m all for “robot war scenes that will make my eyes cry semen”. Here’s hoping for a better script and less camera shaking.

@ Captain Awesome
I still didn’t get bath water from that quote but it’s whatever floats your boat *hands up in surrender*
As for the eyes crying semen…that has to be the funniest thing I have read all week. Like Will in Blades of Glory, “That was mind-bottling.” Yes, you read that right. Here’s to more visual orgasms in our movie watching lives.
May 30th, 2008 at 7:40 am
Yes, it would truly be a shame if the Transformers sequel had sloppy screenwriting. Wasn’t the first film’s screenplay a Pulitzer finalist?
