Sounds interesting...nothing will top the original animated film though.

It'll be interesting in the same respect a man with with extra fingers and toes at a circus is interesting.

When they made the original Transformers movie they at least cast Orson Welles, Leonard Nimoy, Eric Idle and Judd Nelson to make up for the verkackter script & plot. I doubt they'll manage to get Anthony Hopkins to bail 'em out this time around, and I believe Sean Connery has learnt his lesson since League of Extraordinary Box Offfice Failure.

When you factor out all the good stars, that leaves you with Madonna. As Optimus Prime.

They actually got the original voice actors for Optimus and Megatron lined up.

Cool...if they bring back Stan Bush for the soundtrack, that means they once again have the tools for another Classic Film Moment!

so lets see then...

Akira-had a director, no cast, no writer(4 years since anounced)
Initial D-who cares? But is in production.
Ninja Scroll-No cast, No writer, No director(4 years since anouced)
Evangelion-No cast, No writer, No director, special effects studio(Weta Digital) and ADV Films. So pretty much they got nothing.
...........O yeah just anounced, James Cameron is back and done obsessing over the Titanic and is going to do...
Yukito's Kishiro's BATTLE ANGEL ALITA or GUNNM.

a few other of the orriginals are dead as well

would be cool is if they followed the orriginal story line
maybe elaborate more on the rise of Optimus Prime after he was remade from Orion Pax

I swear his friend Dio has to become Iron Hide, just HAS to

and if they could get actors like Peter Cullen back that would also be cool

too bad Scatman Curruthers is also dead, he was the PERFECT Jazz, (Also Hong Kong Phoey)
