Sam's first boss? It seems like it could be very interesting, and glad they got great actors for tf3, speaks very well of the movie so far.

 

John Malkovich is great, so is Frances Mcdormand. So atleast if TF3 ends up being like ROTF they'll be a bright spot

 

The idea of Sam having a boss seems odd to me. Bay and the writers seem to want to keep making Sam out to be a normal guy. First, just a kid getting his first car, then he goes off to college. These normal things become extraordinary when he gets involved with an alien war. Now, of course, he's working. But seriously, after saving the Earth a couple times and having connections to some of the highest levels of power in the world, he's not a normal guy. The only job I could see him having that makes any lick of sense would be to make him an ambassador of alien relations.

My point is that I hope JM's role isn't some a'hole boss he has to deal with "like other normal people in their first jobs". We've gone past the point of Sam's life being normal.

 

These are both great actors, hopefully this may mean that Bay wants to "serious up" the 3rd and possibly final TF movie for him and his crew..it would be nice to go out with a no holds barred Final Episodic movie for his Trilogy. Then perhaps we can get over ROTF..a little bit anyway  

 

Interesting...

I would honestly think that people like John Malkovich and Frances McDormand would be too famous for a movie like Transformers. However, it's cool to see that they're adding in actors like that to TF3. Malkovich and McDormand are both great, and I can't wait to see what they'll bring to their roles.

Sam having a boss could be funny. John Malkovich being that boss is even funnier. I wonder where he works, though?

 

Great actors are in rubbish films all the time, they need to earn money and mainstream films can keep them going until the next indie script they like turns up.

I mean, Michael Caine was in Jaws 4. I rest my case.

 

Well I think that's the whole concept that was set up in ROTF. The fact is that Sam wants to try live a normal life, or as close to one as he can possibly get.

 

Ack, seems like no one is willing to give this idea a try.

He could make a good Doctor Archivile.

 

Maybe Sam goes to work as a photographer for a newspaper because he's the only person that can get pictures of the Transformers. And Malkovich is his cigar-chewing shouty editor boss with a bad flat top haircut and Hitler moustache.

 

The director a coen admirer.... Very disputable.  

 

You know what the sad thing is, I could actually see Bay doing something like that.

 

He did in ROTF, but I can't see it being something he's still determined to have in the third film like he was in the second. He's the only character with development in ROTF - and that development was him accepting his destiny and that his fate is tied to the Transformers. It would be backwards character development for him to continue hand wringing about a normal life.

 

Perhaps, but honestly I can't see Sam being depicted anyother way. And at the end of ROTF it actually shows him going back to college, pretty much suggesting that he's still going to try and live at least some semblance of a normal life.

 

That's K'funny.
