Bay: Shooting begins in May?

Bay tossed up a post on his official boards that he is about to begin shooting the film. Apparently designing is continuing with work on the last act being a focus. The post has a lot of talk of reinventing the robots looks, how they transform and move. Its take very little stretch to know that means voices too. If have hopes that the original voices will do a reprise...forget it. At most hey might get a tip of the cap role in the film but not any main roles.

Really can't blame the film makers. New movie, new approach, lots of money, need some names in there to fill seats. Of course all the failed movies in the last few years have disproven that a named actor actually seems to help but that is neither here nor there. I just hope that in their goal to get named actors, they make sure most of the budget goes to the FX rather then the actors.
