    Voice-actors are ALWAYS one of the last things to be done in a movie.



    If he was going to reveal his source, he would've done so in the first post. lots of people want anonymity.

    Probably.

    It's called acting. Most animated films now are recorded one voice at a time, with few exceptions, and even a surprising amount of live action stuff is sometimes shot without all the actors in the scene present (for close ups and stuff).

    While I'm sure it's not the ideal situation for an actor, it certainly is not a definite that a strong performance can't be given in such a situation.

    Oh, and Will Smith as Jazz = Totally okay in my book.

    Although I think this movie will be ass, the idea of Will voicing a Jazz character is great.

    Sounds like his roleplay as Jazz would be rather promising indeed!

    I think he would do a great voice for Jazz, tis a shame both Starscream and Jazz never had a chance of getting their orignal VAs to do their voices in the movie though.

    Like the majority, I'm totally fine and even look forward to the idea of Will Smith as Jazz.

    Unlike the majority, I do hope he does a song for the soundtrack, complete with music video. I enjoy his music, and his videos are a lot of fun, especially when the majority of music vidoes these days have nothing to do with the song and/or don't make a bit of sense.

    Now that was an extremely random piece of news...sounds great! I wonder if he'll throw in his trademark "Aw, HELL no!" in there...it could work.
