MTV have posted an article entitled 'Transformers 3' Script Complete, Josh Duhamel Says in which they post some quotes from the Transformers actor when the spoke to him at ShoWest in Las Vegas yesterday.Here is a quote:
"I read it yesterday," he said of the script. "I think that
after reading it, I was really pleasantly surprised and happy. They did a
great job."
While Duhamel was understandably tight-lipped about plot details, he did
reveal that the script includes new robots and story elements from
foundational "Transformers" story lines. "Some really cool stuff
happens," he said. "They put a lot of time and thought into this. What I
think is really cool is they went back into the history of
'Transformers.' They didn't really make anything up. They're using stuff
that actually existed in the story from before."

Larry Carroll has written an article for both MTV / VH1 entitled "Transformers 2 Co-Star Matthew Marsden Leaks Info On Sequel's Bot Batles" with the subheading "The British actor describes the multi-national task force defending the world from Decepticons".
The article starts with Mr Marsden speaking about is personal history with Transformers.
"It was one of the comic books I used to get,...[snip] ..I was an avid comic book reader as a kid; I
used to get literally one every day. I'd get Spider-Man,' 'X-Men,' mainly all
the Marvel comics, and Saturday was 'Transformers' day. ... I was a
real big fan of 'Transformers,' and I went opening day to see the first [Michael
Bay movie]. I loved it. I thought Shia was amazing. He's a very talented actor,
and I think they did all the Transformers justice. [snip] Like everyone else,I want to see more.".
He then goes on to speak a little about his character Graham.
"I'm part of a multi-national force. What's
going on right now is I'm a British Special Forces officer that's attached to
Lennox's team. Well, there's two of us initially. And we're battling the bad
guys.". Revealing that his character's action scenes "hit it straight from the very
beginning," Marsden said that Graham is a very intense character based on real
British Special Forces officers. "I just try to be real," he said. "My character
is not an amusing character. He's a soldier, so all the stuff that I did is very
much rooted in reality and what I know from the experiences of my friends [who
are in the military]. So, it's just very real and nothing über-spectacular. We went to Pennsylvania and shot at the Bethlehem Steel Plant, which was really
amazing," he recalled, discussing a moment when the soldiers battle a
Decepticon. "We had this scene where it's, like, 'That's where he is!' and you
have to shoot at him. 'He's going that way!' It's quite a far distance away, so
we had to use a laser pointer [to stand in for the robot]. It's all fun; I love
that stuff. There are bad guys there and we have to go and get them," he
said of the scene. "That's basically it.".
Marsden explains how his character is introducted in the film "Tyrese and I work together; we're part of a team, so it's certainly implied that
we've been working together for some time since the last one," he said. "U.S.
Special Ops guys go off in the army and work with the British army, and it's
interchangeable, and we all work from similar playbooks. ... We're a
multi-national force that will go wherever it takes."
When asked if he shot any scenes with either Shia LaBEouf or Megan Fox, Matthew replied "No, no I haven't [met them] because I'm part of Lennox's team. So, we go off and we do
our thing separately. We're the military unit  they're doing their other
things."going on to explain that the film's plot segments into separate story lines, much like the opening of the original movie. Though he does hold out hope that he has not received all of his script pages yet and that they will eventually come together. "They're working with the Autobots, [so] they're definitely going to know some
of the strengths and weaknesses of different robots," he said. "So, if they're
working together with an alien life-form, which they didn't initially, then
obviously they're going to know more. In the first one, they were actually
finding out what they were because they didn't know. ... Now they're aware of
what they are, and we're part of the task force specifically to go and deal with
them. ... I just know that I've got a big chunk to come, and I'm sure there's
going to be a lot of action in it."
Matthew explains that with the death of Megatron, Starscream returns to Cybertron and then comes back to Earth with reinforcements confirming that "They're going to be bringing more Transformers in," Marsden revealed. "And
there's definitely [some] in the scene that we do, different Transformers, so
fans should be very excited.".
The article ends with Matthew explaining that his characters role was beefed-up in the film after he met with Michael Bay and the two fo them hit it off. "I just went in and met with Michael, read the lines. We
got to talking about other things, and Michael and I just hit it off. Michael's
a big fan of the military, and I'm a big fan of the military, we both support
the troops. ... He apparently has ramped the character up for me. I know I don't
die; that's as much as I know so far, so that can't be bad, can it?"

MTV
are reporting that the British actor Matthew Marsden has been cast in Transformers 2.
"Marsden has been cast in the role of “Graham,†a character who is
part of the British Special Forces. Although the film’s plot is being
kept under the tightest veils of secrecy, it is known that the flick
will depict an even more worldly battle than the first “Transformersâ€Â
film, and will shoot all over the globe. In the sequel, Graham teams
with Duhamel and Tyrese’s military characters, joining their efforts as
they do battle with the evil Decepticons.
The casting of Graham, and the presence of the British Special
Forces, would seem to indicate that Bay might do some filming in the
U.K. Cameras are scheduled to begin rolling on the fast-forming flick
in a matter of weeks."
Matthew Marsden is best know for appearing in the UK soap Coronation Street but he recently appeared in the new Rambo film as well as Resident Evil: Extinction and Black
Hawk Down

MTVBlog have published a brief interview with Transformers Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura in which he talks briefly regarding some of the casting rumours as well as the rumoured inclusion of Broadside.
"Recently, the news broke that Jonah Hill won’t be rolling out in
“Transformers 2†after all. It’s sad, sad news for movie fans hoping
the sequel would get a legitimate comedic-sidekick injection rather
than, say, filling the role with Dax Shepard.
According to series producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura, the movie has
had to move on without the “Superbad†star – but we can still expect
some big announcements over the next several weeks.
“No, no,†he said of Hill’s reported casting. “Ultimately, we’ll have a couple casting surprises for everybody soon.â€Â
Director Michael Bay and returning stars Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox and
Jon Voight are reportedly on board to return, and Bonaventura confirmed
plans to start shooting the movie in Philadelphia and Bethlehem,
Pennsylvania next month.
“Michael’s got some really great stuff planned,†he added.
The super-producer, who we caught up with this week on the Downey,
CA set of his equally massive blockbuster franchise “G.I. Joe,†also
shot down rumors that Bay would finally create a long-rumored
character. “A transforming aircraft carrier?†Bonaventura repeated,
denying its existence. “We saw a Japanese film that had something like
that, so maybe that’s where that comes from.â€Â
“We never really talked about that, practically speaking,†he said
of the character who might or might not have been known as Broadside,
and who Bay has said was simply too expensive to create. “There was
some Japanese animated movie we saw where that occurred, and we were
like ‘Wow! Look at that thing!’â€Â
