    Variety confirms Shia LaBeouf

    CybertronCinema.net has also reported that Variety magazine has also reported on Shia playing Spike in the new movie

    So I guess it's official Shia's in the movie.When news is reported by 3 repeutable sources.It has to be true :D

    All rock? That would simply date the movie almost as badly as the original movie ie, full of bands nobody remembers in the future playing horribly old-fashioned music.

    What is needed is a combination of rock, electronic and fully-orchestrated classical music - different music for different occassions.

    I consider the word of Don Murphy more of a confirmation than any website citing "sources".

    Great news!

    Oh and just throwing this out there, couldnt you say that the Transformers are "biological life" too? They aren't made of steel and Earth metals, but rather some wierd alien substances that can change appearances... heck they even feel PAIN. I guess the difference is that they dont have cells, but thats as far as im looking into that :)

    I have faith that he can do a good job. Also, I'm glad this got confirmed so soon, and his name being Spike is of course wonderful news.

    Holy crap!! If Spike is shopping for a car, that means he's shopping for a used car, which means my little blue Bluestreak appearance idea could actually show up!!

    Which he's done now, confirming that the Hollywood Reporter article that confirms that Shia is in final negotiations to play SPIKE is correct.

    But not that he's 100% confirmed. The article doesn't say he WILL play Spike, just that he's in final negotiations to.

    There's a difference that some sites are missing. Even if it is just a case of crossing the Ts and dotting the i's, the deal could fall through until contracts are signed.

    But to all intents and purposes it seems to be settled on him playing Spike.

    I guess the rumors that surfaced a month or so back proved to be accurate.

    I'm fine it, he isn't that well known and personally, I like his acting. :p  I really hope they don't cast any well known holly wood actors on this film... It will kill it for me. I don't want to have to look at them and associate them with other films and personalities, I want fresh views, and I think this guy will work.
