Transformers 2 sucked. Transformers 2 really sucked. The only thing that was more incomprehensible than its battle scenes was its plot. The good news? In one week, those racist twins have been given the Auto-boot, Shia LaBeouf admitted that Tranformers 2 sucked and now the biggest news of all…Firefly star Alan Tudyk has been cast in the upcoming Transformers 3 (according to The Wrap).
We’ve seen Tudyk in 3:10 to Yuma, Death at a Funeral and Knocked Up since Firefly/Serenity ended, but we certainly haven’t seen enough of “Wash” on the silver screen. A little small-screen action and a few Direct TV commercials aren’t gonna cut it — this guy should’ve been a star long, long ago. Nathan Fillion might not yet be Ant-Man, but it’s nice to see that the talented cast of Firefly (including Christina Hendricks) is still alive and kicking.
Someone over at Dreamworks/Hasbro gets it. Maybe Michael Bay is too busy blow-drying his trademark feathered hair and piping aspiring actresses to notice? Just go over to IMDb and look at the other new additions to the cast — Frances McDormand, John Malkovich and Patrick Dempsey. Holy shit, man. They’ve come along way from Fergie’s boyfriend and Tyrese.
Once upon a time, the Transformers brand had ironclad geek cred when it came to Gen X. Thanks to the Bayster, what once was certain has been lost. But with the additions of these fine actors and especially one Alan Tudyk, all of us who grew up playing with Optimus Prime might actually see the franchise return to its prime sometime soon.
