[Raziel321]

Why? He did a great job in Crash and he is a good actor he has plenty of character. Oprah lover....

[final_cut]

Haha, I thought you meant 'transvestite' by saying 'decepticon'.
Its just a popular saying around here.

[TheDarkPhoenix]

He's not a bad actor at all....

long as he doesn't get some stero typical role it should be all good...


Luda FOR STARSCREAM!!!

[Shade]

Nothing wrong with that. Luda's the man, and has a great vocal range. You know whats worse? This topic. This bit of info could have been easily posted in the already existing TF Movie topic.

What you mean, you got to have your token black guy in there, if not its classed as racist, sterotype role id put money on it.

I expect his role to have the most cusses lol.

[Shin-Mech-Brian]

I hope not because while I stil don't have the highest expectations for the film, it doesn't need a bunch of celebrity voices to try and make it even worse. I can hear it now...

"ya man, I used to play with the old school Transformers when I was a kid! I had like Bumbleboy and OptimusWave and Megascream an' all those old fools. They we're da' energon bomb!" ...while said fucktard is playing with one in his hand and doesn't even know how to transform it.

They need good voiceover actors, maybe even good celebrity voice actors, not just celebrities. It'll be a complete mockery.

[VG Emblem]

Ludacris for Starscream.

[Taito]

Peter Cullen voices Optimus Prime or no sale.

[DropOff]

Luda as starscream is the stupidest shit thats ever been said on this forum. How is a bass-voiced black man going to do the 80's gravely-high-pictched voice. HUH?

Yeah he's an ok actor, but that does not mean he can be a fucking convincing robot.

[ViciousSLASH]

Peter Cullen voices Optimus Prime or no sale.

Man I thought for the longest time Uncle Phil from Fresh Prince was Optimus' voice.

Damn.

You know the transformers are gonna end up evil or some shit and we humans are gonna have to band together to stop them.

Plus some little kid is gonna be in the movie and be shoved down our throats to help convey the horror of giant transforming robots attacking us.

It's almost definate that they are going to fuck this up.

They just need to take the transformers movie, take out the retardation ( the weird al thing, all the main characters dying in the first 10 minutes, hot rod being a pussy ) and just remake with 3D animation.

They'd make like 50 million opening day.

And you know Megatron is gonna be a damn tank. Which is gay. I want physics defying Gun Megatron.

Immediatelly wins argument at rapid high speed rate.

While we're at it, let's make Gibert Godfrey do Megatron's voice.


Actually, Ludacris as Skywarp's voice might be pretty good......or Thundercracker.

Thundercracker had a super deep voice.

[DJ SKILLZ]

If true, Luda could be Jazz. I always thought Jazz was 'black' anyway. Same goes with Blaster.

[PimpC]

Immediatelly wins argument at rapid high speed rate.
huh?

on topic, i dunno, luda could be good or he can suck, it all depends on who he plays (if he is in it) definitely not starscream though........that really is just fucking stupid

[R.P.D rookie]

huh?




EXACTLY!

[Jaldaboath]

Bumblebee will no longer be a VW 'cause of Disney having the rights to that one.

Optimus Prime will be a Fire Truck

Megatron will be a tank

Wow good shit, especially since you're married to a black woman.

I know you were saying that in [partial] jest, but its already been said that Luda can hold his own on the big screen. He's not some random ghetto black guy from South Central.



I also don't have very high hopes for this movie, but this news doesn't make me feel any better or worse about it. Luda as Starscream doesn't sound good, though.

[TheDarkPhoenix]

It really doesn't matter who plays who as long as the voice overs are good..

I was kinding about starscream btw, now soundwave........

[white shadow]

I'm sure Luda will do well with whatever he has to work with.

Wow. And the most unintelligent post in this thread belongs too ELRadio!

Volkswagon owns the rights to the VW, not Disney. Why do you think Takara wasn't allowed to go ahead and produce Binaltech Bumblebee? Because VW said they didn't want their cars associated with war.

What are you talking about? My wife is so un-black that she's practically more caucasian than I am. She's living proof that color is only skin deep. ;) :rofl:

And no, I don't jest. Sure, the man has some acting talent (I liked him in Crash) but what I'm saying is that on-screen acting is one thing but being a convincing voice actor is another. If he's in the movie then he's in the movie... big whoop. It's already turning into a big celebrity-fest already. But having him actually voice one of the actual robots is lame.

No, I don't expect them to hire all the original voice actors (especially since Chris Latta died like 12 years ago) but I think it's a bad move to go celebrity for voices as well. If Micheal Bay is smart (and I don't have a lot of hope on this one), he'll just hire no-names that will do his CG versions some service and just sound convincing.

I don't wanna hear shit like Ben Afflek trying to do Soundwave or Will Smith trying to be Jazz.

[hubcapsignstop]

i hear what SMB is saying
hollywood is always going for big name stars (be it big name acotrs, whatever) instaed of talented voiceactors. Sometimes it works ok, but it is a gamble and not the best idea. Actors are bigger stars and bring in more $$$ at the box office than many noted voice actors.

My fear was that the movie was just there to rape the tranformer name in order to turn a nice profit. Fear they gogin to take the name recognition, change the storyline, destroy the characters, do whatever they want with it. Make it a sci-fi blockbusteer about robots, but with the TF name behind it. My fear was that Bay would just go for the big names to fill out the voice cast instead of real tried/true voice talent.

Hearing that ludacris may voice a TF is just confirming some of the fears. Not taking anything away from him aas an acotr.

[ytwojay]

Well [judging from her avatar] she has a Black booty so its all good.

This movie is going to be lower middle tier. Nothing has been said since it's inception into my mind that has changed that. But man, I feel like watching The Transformers movie. Or atleast some best of soundwave.

[Shin-Mech-Brian]

Well [judging from her avatar] she has a Black booty so its all good.





jk o.o That she has, and yes it most certainly is "all good". :lovin:

[RoninChaos]

That forum is full of dumb fucks. Look at this.

He'd make a pretty good soundwave if they modified the voice a little bit. I just hope he doesn't speak "all gangsta like". The transformers are supreme mechanical beings from outer space, they probably have developed the ability to annunciate.

I would also like to announce the role of starscream will be played by Eminem and Big Pun will be Megatron.

I got news for you, ass. The Transformers AREN'T FUCKING REAL. Nobody cares that they're SUPREME MECHANICAL BEINGS OMG OMG OMG.

Then some other asshole says

AGREED. Tyrese, Michael Clark Duncan, Bernie Mac, Anthony Andersen and now Ludacris........ is this a Transformers movie or the million man march?

Christ, somebody should kill these people.

[Sano]

Man when I first saw the title of this thread I thought of Ludacris being from an old street gang back in the day in New York we used to call the Decepticons, or Deceps for short...

Nah man screw Starscream. I say Ludacris as either Rumble or Frenzy. When he transforms into a tape and goes inside Soundwave he can play his latest album.

The only chance this movie has is if they base it off the truth -

Eh, cartoonverse isn't bad though but they'll prolly mess it up...

[DanielLarusso]

What makes a black person "un-black"?

Does she speak with intelligence, unlike black folks?

Did she denounce her blackness? Bleach her skin?

I'm curious.

--

I basically look at this rumour as nothing. But for the sake of argument, I can think of several Transformers Ludacris can play. Jazz, Soundwave, Blaster, Wheeljack, Sunstreaker and Ironhide to name a few.

If I was to cry about anything, it'd be that lackluster trailer, even though both times I saw Pirates 2 the theater cheered onced they realized they were watching a Transformers trailer.

But I`m just elated to have a chance to here Soundwave again!

(Man, it`s funny! I was just reading this comic and it said that when MEGATRON fires. He taps in to a Black Hole to power his shot! That`s why it makes that wierd ass noise when he shoots and it also said something along the lines that GRIMLOCK was intelligent as hell, but he had a speech impedimate?! And WHERE the FUCK!

I hate ain't it cool news. That is all I have to say about that.

Anyway, doesn anyone else think of this movie as an advertising gold mine ?

Like millions of people are going to see it, guarenteed. Companies should be throwing themselves at the movie studio to have there newest cars be put into the movie as transformers. Same thing with all the non car transformers.

I hope they don't try to correct all the mysteries of transformers with common sense in the movie. We don't need to know where OP's trailer goes, it just goes.

You guys make it sound like you're expecting to see the normal cast of characters from the G1 series. Hate to burst your bubble but there's only about 10 or so total characters being included and not all of them are G1:

>>>Not THE Devastator, it'll just be another Decepticon with that name, the Constructicons will not be in the movie<<< and so far, almost every Decepticon is going to have a very different alt mode than what they did in the cartoon except for Soundwave who will still be a sound playing device of some kind.

Just because someone is not CONFIRMED does not mean they are not in the movie. Unless the director comes out and says they are not in, then there is a possibility. I’m sure there are surprises in store. Confirming who IS in is different than confirming who ISN’T in.

And I was genuinely curious as to what makes a black person un-black.

The original “Transformers the Movie” cast of stars:

Orson Welles, Unicron.
Eric Idle, Wreck-Gar.
Casey Kasem, Cliffjumper (also in TV show)
Judd Nelson, Hot Rod
Leonard Nimoy, Galvatron

Y’all need to stop acting like having stars in the movie will sully everything that is sacred. Especially since the original had no shortage of them. Orson FUCKING Welles. Unless you didn’t like the original movie, in which case if you didn’t do you really even like Transformers to begin with?

It ain’t like Ludacris is fucking Mike Jones or something. Luda was in two movies last year that featured Oscar worthy performances. One of them won best picture. And again, it depends on who he's playing. Obviously you don't want Luda as Optimus Prime, but if it's one of the characters mentioned in my previous post I see no problem with that.

A couple things I’ve heard about the movie upset me, the transforming iPod and Xbox 360 come to mind, but the “rumor” that Ludacris “might” be involved is pretty low on that list.

^^So true

[hubcapsignstop]

^^So true
waht?!
fcnkthat
notice how when all the old transformers died off
and the excuse to put the stars in came, the voices were orders of magnitude shittier than the original voice talent. The new character voices were also pretty bland.
yeah
thats what hollywood does. Pack in stars for box office draw instead of hiring real talent. (actually killing off the REAL talent)

if you fools say leonard nimoy and judd nelson did aanywhere near as good a job as Welker, Cullen you are horible lying deluded, nothinking sterainght,what aer you monkeyass smoking?...And this was done at the expense of quality, how can you defend that?

must say Orson Welles was the f*cking truth as Unicron (laugh my ass off at you considering him a STAR though)

[BBCampbell]

First off, it's obvious that you people won't be happy with this unless they show the actual TV show on the big screen (which would FUCKING RAWK).

As for Luda: Whoever said he should be Blaster is a genius. I had Busta Rhymes as Blaster, but Luda works too. Plus he sounds like Blaster's OG voice.

Finally, every actor that should play Jazz:
Bill Cosby - Optimus Prime, we need to stop consuming Energon Cubes and eat more Jell-O pudding...
Eddie Murphy
Chris Rock
Dave Chappelle
Samuel L. Jackson
Laurence Fishbourne
Cuba Gooding Jr.
Eddie Griffin
Snoop Dogg
Kobe Bryant
basically any other black person because they all sound alike to me...


EDIT: I wonder how long it will take before someone calls me racist...

[Sano]

I'm more worried about the movie making Optimus Prime god Tier broken-ness when he isn't supposed to be. Buy his toy and check his power rating on the back of the box. He isn't the strongest Autobot, his stregnth is 3. Brawn is. He isn't the fastest like the cartoon showed (for christ sake, how does a truck beat out a race car???). The cartoon suped him up for the same reason the cartoon made Scarlet Duke's girlfriend instead of Snake Eyes, little kids understand leaders being 'the man.' In the Marvel comics Optimus wasn't the strongest or the fastest and he got owned from time to time which is what made him a great leader, he was a genious at leading the Autobots.

And now I just feel that the situation is much worse after he died in the movie. People who haven't watched enough anime couldn't get over the fact that he died and this wound up ending the entire series. Now every single freaking Transformers cartoon has Optimus Prime in it, he's beasting on everybody in every show now and what's worse there are more Prime cock riders, see the Dreamwave comic where he pretty much destroyed Devastator with one freaking shot...

Whatever, I hate all the Autobots anyway... it's always been about the Decepticons with me. Go Ludacris Megatron! :rofl:

P.S. Every freaking Transformers cartoon needs to get rid of English gentleman Megatron and bring back his old voice. Whoever did the old Megatron's voice in that one Beast Wars episode was pretty good, hire him and fire mr. "Yes. I think I will destroy the Autobots, yes." So lame...

It's not like it's something holy to me (but thanks for the reminder, need to take down my G1 Predacon shrine), I'm just being silly. That said, I'm not optimistic, but I am open to whatever the end product is; judgement and hellfire to follow the viewing if needed. :rofl:

The thing I am MOST CURIOUS to see, is if one of the actors in the movie will do a "Black Spot on My Career I refuse to acknowledge" like Nimoy did for years after his performance as Galvatron. :wgrin:

Very true but so far, the list I gave off is "who is confirmed", and we may just see some more faces but from what they say so far, the movie is 80% human and 20% robot so they don't have a whole lot of room to work with unless they decided to make it a LotR epic piece.

"But your bargaining postures are ridubious!.......... Proceed on your way to Oblivion!" Unicron pimped the hell outta Megatron though!

Oh hells yeah he did. And my friend is a moron for sayin the Death Star could stop Unicron :rollseyes: um buuuuulllllshit. Espcially the comic Unicron, where he's more of a god like creature.

They should cast Lawrence Bayne to voice Starscream, Megatron, Optimus. Hell, he could probably do more.

If true, Luda could be Jazz. I always thought Jazz was 'black' anyway. Same goes with Blaster.

That's the first character that came to mind when I first looked at this thread.

Wow. And the most unintelligent post in this thread belongs too ELRadio!

Volkswagon owns the rights to the VW, not Disney. Why do you think Takara wasn't allowed to go ahead and produce Binaltech Bumblebee? Because VW said they didn't want their cars associated with war. This was actually a good 3 weeks ago and on some rumors call.

Are you sure Disney is not still holding the rights? I thought they still had them since that crappy remake movie about Derby or something. And VW not wanting their cars asociated with war is bullshit, their VW design was based on WWII tanks IIRC, and that's commmon knowledge.

I hope not because while I stil don't have the highest expectations for the film, it doesn't need a bunch of celebrity voices to try and make it even worse. I can hear it now...

"ya man, I used to play with the old school Transformers when I was a kid! I had like Bumbleboy and OptimusWave and Megascream an' all those old fools. They we're da' energon bomb!" ...while said fucktard is playing with one in his hand and doesn't even know how to transform it.

They need good voiceover actors, maybe even good celebrity voice actors, not just celebrities. It'll be a complete mockery.


your ignorance/sterotyping is illogical. he'll do good for the part im sure

Yes I'm sure. The only rights Disney holds to a Volkswagon is Herbie and that's it. And just because VW's early designs were supposedly associated with tanks and such some 60 years ago doesn't mean the same applies now. VW said themselves that Takara cannot use the new Beetle design or any VW automobile because their toys comes with guns." So no, it's not bullshit.

L1qu1d: the only ignorant person here is you. I may be stereotyping, maybe but it gets my point across. And no it's not illiogical, you just don't agree - please understand the difference.

Well, then I was wrong on the rights stuff.

But you misunderstood me man, I wasn't calling bull on you, I'm just saying that Volkswagen going all "OMG Noez dose toys' got guns dei'll think we teh terroristz!!!11!" is a stupid stance seeing where they designs come from.

Aaaaaand UPDATE:
Optimus? Is that you? (http://www.myextralife.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/07/transformers_movie.jpg)

I hope so! :bgrin: although some guy claims this was in last year's comic-con. can someone confirm?

nah, I do understand but this is what I read directly from the official Binaltech book itself. And yeah, that is from last years Comic Con, I saw it myself. All it is was a big rig with red vinyl stickers on it. They never even took the tarp off the thing - that's all you saw. But someone did steal one of the license plates and was busted at his hotel room.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

BTW: Has ther been any confirmation on megatron's form? And just for the sake of argument... let's assume they make him a tank what do you guys think about it?

Personally I'd like him to be some sort of flying cannon, sorta like the JLU laser but smalller. that'd look neat.

[jignat]

I'm fine with tank or the cybertronian jet if thats the case, since there have been Megatrons with that form.
Hell, the flame job is annoying, but im not having seizures/migraines over it like most of the people on the internet.
I knew this was going to happen a la X-men , where everyone was declaring doomsday b4 it came out.
2 things have to happen for me lose hope for Op.
1) He's not depicted as a wise, noble leader who is Megs equal.
2) He looks absolutely nothing like any of the vehicular Op robot modes.
I can give them leeway. However, If he starts sayin, "im optimus prime, beyotch, "
and stomps on hookers, then I'll be pissed.

Alright, time to step back and look at the big picture regarding TF:THE MOVIE. I assume you all have read by now that the luda rumor is not true and he has no part in the movie.

Let's keep a few things in mind:

1. This is a 200+ million dollar movie being spent on an 80s cartoon. This does not happen every day. This could have easily turned out like robot jox or robot wars - would you have liked that?

2. If this movie is only seen by every TF fan on the planet, it will be a collosal failure. Transformers is a name, a brand, with an ever-changing line-up in both look and name. The movie is banking on people's vague idea and associations with this brand and on the most basic level that is robots that disguise themselves as ordinary vehicles and machines.

3. This movie takes place IN THE REAL WORLD. Again, this kind of thing has never been done before. In the real world, a 25 foot tall robot cant collapse into a handgun. I'm sorry, but that breaks several basic laws of our universe. same with a 25 foot tall robot who can turn into a cassette player small enough to fit onto a VW's dash. cant happen.

4. THIS HAS NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE. We dont even know what the transformer technology will look like. We do know it is costing fucking millions so that it doesnt look like robot jox. Because of this and because the point is to turn a profit in order to turn this into a franchise, several things had to occur. a) Limit the number of autobots and decepticons. b) limit the overall screentime of all robots. c) limit the interaction between robots, especially fighting. All of these things had to happen in order to make this movie feasible.

5. Many of you may not know this, but one of the biggest reasons that Bumblebee is not a VW bug is because in the TF script he is written like 'Herbie'. His voice circuits were "damaged" in a war from the past and now he communicates via his radio, his headlights, waving his doors, etc, just like herbie. If he was then also a vw bug then disney would definitely be suing.
