Another human crams into Transformers 2! We get wind today that Matthew Marsden has joined the cast thanks to our friends at MTV:
MTV News has learned that Matthew Marsden is the newest addition to the cast of “Transformers 2.” He joins a high-powered cast returning for the sequel to last year’s blockbuster, including Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel and Tyrese. Marsden hooks up with Michael Bay’s super-franchise for the sequel much like Rainn Wilson, whose casting was revealed last week by MTV.
Marsden has been cast in the role of “Graham,” a character who is part of the British Special Forces. Although the film’s plot is being kept under the tightest veils of secrecy, it is known that the flick will depict an even more worldly battle than the first “Transformers” film, and will shoot all over the globe. In the sequel, Graham teams with Duhamel and Tyrese’s military characters, joining their efforts as they do battle with the evil Decepticons.
Good! That’s what I want to see, more humans fighting deceptions. I love it when a cast becomes bloated with characters I don’t give a shit about. The casting news coming out of the Transformers camp continues to disappoint, and well up worry with me. I wasn’t thrilled with the first film, but had high hopes that the mistakes would be remedied in the follow up film. Instead, it looks like more of the same is being shucked together.
Who knows when the list of actors will stop. The number of actors that they are getting for this film is starting to be comedic. With luck, we will still have robot to robot dialogue than we did in the first film. I would like to see Megatron give all of the decepticons a pep talk at least once in the film.
