Seibertron.com report that "A journalist for the Australian paper- The Advertiser,
Sean Fewster tips us on a returning voice actor for the next movie that
completely refutes one Michael Bay's original statements about the
movie sequel.
One of Sean's co-workers at the paper, film writer Andrew Fenton interviewed actor Hugo Weaving:
"Mega Secret
By Andrew Fenton
Film Writer, The Advertiser
In town to promote his rather excellent new Aussie film, "Last Ride", Hugo Weaving let slip he'll be returning as the voice of Megatron in "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen".
Fans no doubt will recall that when we last saw Megatron, Sam (Shia
LaBeouf) had rammed the All Spark cube into his chest, thereby
destroying him. Despite this certain death, rumours have been
circulating the villain was going to make a comeback. Director Michael
Bay went so far as to flatly deny the rumour, telling Empire: "He's not
in the movie".
Turns out Bay was fibbing. "I've already done it," Weaving says, adding
Bay had told him to keep the news hush-hush. "He's over in LA and we
were working on the video split sort of thing and I had this strange
conversation where he seemed to imply it was all a big secret. So there
you go - I've given you the secret scoop."
So how is Megatron resurrected? Weaving is coy about revealling too much, but does give a tiny hint.
"I think in the last one, doesn't Optimus Prime pick up a little bit
of, a shard of the cube, or the thing that's left, and he takes it with
him. Maybe there's something there... but I don't know," he laughs.
We'll find out on June 25, the film's Australian release."
