Halfway Cast

Ladies and Gentlemen, according to the movie news services, we have ourselves a human cast for Transformers. I'm just gonna put down the names attached, since, quite honestly, Shia's the only one who's playing someone from the original series. As of now, these names are either cast, in final negotiations, or have offers on the table, according to IGN:

Shia LaBeouf
Jon Voight
Michael Clarke Duncan
Josh Duhamel
Bernie Mac
Rachael Taylor
Megan Fox
Tyrese Gibson
John Tuturro
John Robinson (too many IMDb's to count)
Travis Van Winkle

Still no word yet on any voices for the Transformers themselves, but there's a few people out there who believe some of these character names are just "aliases" and that the actors associated would be brought in as voices for the Transformers (Bernie Mac as Jazz, Tuturro as Starscream, etc).

I trust this list, if for no other reason than there really aren't any names on it that stand out as "fan speculation." Duncan and Voight have both worked with Michael Bay before, on Armageddon and Pearl Harbor respectively, and none of the other names are really, um, names. Mac, Tuturro, Gibson, all actors who work, but would never be called "all-stars." And, hell, with names like Rachael Taylor, John Robinson, Travis Van Winkle, how could this list even be considered fan speculation?

I'm excited to see how this turns out, and even more excited to hear who's coming in for voice work (Tom Hanks as Bumblebee? Still a chance.)
