The voice casting news for the greatest movie event of the year – – THE TRANSFORMERS – – is coming fast and furious these days. Just recently we talked about the AMAZING news that Hugo Weaving was cast as the voice of Megatron (which I’ve been saying for months would be amazing). And now, it looks like Barricade is cast too, and it’s Keith David. IGN gives us this:
Hot on the heels of the news that Hugo Weaving will voice Megatron comes word that Keith David (The Thing) will voice the Decepticon police cruiser Barricade in the Michael Bay-directed film. IGN has confirmed David’s casting, which was first rumored over at Ain’t It Cool News. Barricade’s automobile form will be a Saleen S281 Ford Mustang police cruiser.
I like this move. Dvid has a naturally deep rich voice that I’m sure will be used well here. I also expect it’ll be heavily digitized, but there you go. So more good news for The Transformers. Of coarse none of this means the story will be any good… but it’s still good news.
