... here. Looks like Rainn Wilson dropped a bit of a bomb over at MTV.com , saying he'll have a bit part in TRANSFORMERS 2. He says he'll play a professor, which would make sense since we know Sam Witwicky is college-bound in this one. I know there's a big fan outrage against the first movie, which wasn't without its faults, but I think TRANSFORMERS 2 could be a rare sequel that outdoes the original. Bay knows action and if he allows us the autobots and decepticons to have a bit more interaction with each other in this one, I think that could make all the difference. I want to ...

... coy with more details, claiming to have not even read a full script. But while the overall plot remains shrouded in mystery, Wilson’s casting — along with the recent announcement that Jonah Hill was offered but declined a role as Sam’s college roommate — would seem to indicate that Bay is going for a more comedic tone in his second go-round with Optimus Prime. “Transformers 2” is currently setting up shop in Bethlehem, PA, home to Lehigh University.
