    Quote of the Day: They’re making another Transformers movie?

    Stephen SchleicherBy 7 Comments1 Min Read

    Hugo Weaving, who plays the voice of Megatron, is not as immersed in the Transformers franchise as many people might think.

    “Oh no,” he barks with a laugh. “They’re not making Transformers III, are they?  [Director] Michael Bay talks to me on the phone. I’ve never met him. We were doing the voice for the second one and I still hadn’t seen the first one. I still didn’t really know who the characters were and I didn’t know what anything was. It’s a voice job, for sure, and people assume I’ve spent my life working on it, but I really know so little about it.”

    Transformers III opens July 1, 2011, or so.

      Oh, just wait until his dark comedy “Jericho’s Body” tanks at the box office. Then he’ll be presenting at some awards show a week later spouting how much he loves the franchise.

      Being a former acting student, this ticks me off – compare this to such voice actors like Mark Hamil (voice of the Joker), who was so committed to understanding and acting out the character that he both read everything he could get his hands on about the Joker, and then was so animated as he was doing the voice that they used some of his natural mannerisms as a model for future animation of the character!
