Beetlejuice in Transformers?

In a report from Ben:
I just got back from the Princeton set and I thought I'd fill you in on what I saw there. The scene I saw had Shia, Megan (who was driving), Ramon, and I think Isabel in the silver Saturn [Astra] as something that appeared to be Frenzy attacking them. Also, I've included a picture. You may notice a certain Beetlejuice from the Howard Stern Show on the set. I don't know what that means...

I don't know what it means either. Lester "Beetlejuice" Green (on the steps in the background) is a frequent Howard Stern Show guest and Wack Pack member with a small film career that includes voice work. Does he have a role in Transformers 2? Doing a voice? Maybe he was just visiting the set? Many questions, no answers.

As for the Astra, at least now we know who supposed to be in the car as it is driven and hits a lamp post.

Thanks to Ben for the picture and report.

Update:
As commenters have pointed out, it’s possible that his role is from the original little person casting call that for Philly but adapted to Princeton. An added note is Ben heard that tomorrow is the day Rainn Wilson is supposed to be on set for his Professor role.

  2. I'm going to be driving 40 minutes to get to Princeton, but I have really no idea how everything is going down. I'm leaving at around 9:15am, hopefully this will be a good enough time to leave and get autographs.

  4. hey Jeany here :)

    so about Beetlejuice, remember they were casting a "a male little person, any ethnicity, age between 30 and 65." it was a philly casting but I think that it was re-worked

  6. Thats sweet and yea i agree with jeany that that is who the casting call was for. as for the crashing into the light pole, my guess is either drunk driving or a fight in the car.

  7. Well Frenzy is gonna have to try a new method of killing. Since he engaged humans he seems to be losing his head. If you get what i am saying. So he decides to use four wheels of fury. But he is so short he can barely drive and rams a lightpole. Who knows maybe next time he will try flying(God Help Us). Anyways did any of you hear because i did when i was there, that Barricade could possibly be there. But heis doing what he does best. Hiding like a little girl. Poor guy must feel lonely being the only uninjured decepticon after starscream left.

  8. My girlfriend is an extra and Wednesday is indeed the last day. They are using her for a classroom scene likely with Rainn Wilson. I'll post more information when I hear something...

  9. It's funny how Beetlejuice winds up smack right in the middle of the shot like that. You'd think it was Photoshopped but it looks too good. What he'd be doing in this movie I can't imagine.
