TF4 Casting news

[5FDP]

A confirmation of earlier reports that Glenn Morshower (played two different people in the first three movies), won't be in the fourth one due to scheduling conflicts.

Out of all the human characters in the movies, his was the only one that I cared for (probably because I was a massive 24 fan before the movies came out). Disappointing that he won't be reprising his role.

Extras casting call for 'Texas' types from TFW:

The initial call that went out was for "Submissions from Extras with very strong unique "character" faces that express a larger than lifeTEXAS type personality. Think people that look like Ranchers, oil men and women, realtor types that sell Dallas mansions, small town salt of the earth types, and strong southern-looking men & women- with faces that have a real local Texas flavor to their look and uniqueness!"

A second call followed today for some more specific casting, as follows: ""Mom"- Female Caucasian or Hispanic: Age 30s-50s (must have plus sized figure, expressive comedic face, small town Texas look ); "Dad"- Male Caucasian or Hispanic: Age 30s-50s (must have plus sized figure, expressive comedic face, small town Texas look)"


There was also a casting call for Hollywood staple attractive women: "FEMALE CAUCASIAN EXTRAS between the ages of 16-23 fit, tan, attractive with an "all-american" Texas type"

Why does this make me think theyre looking for a Sheriff Pepper? [facepalm]

Could Megan Fox be in TF4 after all? Her recent teaming up with Bay for the TMNT movie may have just earned her a spot in the next Transformers movie.
An official Paramount release of an image of one of the cars in the movie had her name included in the tags.
It has since been removed... and there has been no denial of her being in the movie, in the follow up comments.

Even if Megan's appearance was brief it could be a good bridging connection/passing the torch of human characters between these trilogies.

Maybe she'll be the voice of the car? And just scream the word 'Sam' a lot?
