"TRANSFORMERS 2 casting
We are looking for Asian talent for the new Dreamworks feature film, “Transformers 2”, directed by Michael Bay.

Needed are Asian men and women, boys and girls, ages 7-65, for a scene set in a fictional Chinese city. Shooting will take place in the Bethlehem PA area, in the beginning of June 2008.

No acting experience necessary; both SAG and non-union talent will be considered. All roles are paid positions.

In addition to “real” people, we are also looking for any Asian talent with a military background.

If interested and available, please e-mail a picture to: Tr2bethlehem@gmail.com
Be sure to include all contact information, union status (if any) and state military experience, if any.

NO PHONE CALLS PLEASE.

I sent them an email hopefully I'll get to be in this movie I love Transformers so much. The film's being shot in Philly (UPenn) and Bethlehem, PA. I'm from Philadelphia but will be in Bethlehem this summer to take classes at Lehigh University so hopefully I get the part. I was skeptical seeing that Asians were needed for a Chinese city but its Michael Bay and hes done this sort of thing before (Beijing in Armageddon) without being offensive and plus the fact that they're looking for Asian talent with a military background alludes to the fact that they're going to be something badass with one of the Asian characters. PS rumor has it that one of the main characters of the movie will be an Asian male. He's supposed to be Sam's roommate in college, is obsessed with hip-hop culture and gets caught up in the middle of everything.

"Asians with military background" better not get f'ing cast as the bad guys.

The bigger question is... is there gonna be Galvatron or Unicron in Transformers 2?

Considering it is Transformers I doubt the Asians will be bad guys lol..and I read the supposed plot for the movie and there are ALOT of transformers that are going to be in it, yet not too many to muddle the movie..The plot isn't completely final yet and it may be just one of those fake plots the movie producers put out to keep people from figuring it out but I'll give you one spoiler..Optimus Prime makes a return *wink wink*

I will probably send a picture also considering that I live in Philly. Also, it's being shot at Upenn too? Really? What more do you know about that?

I will take the most demeaning, stereotypical role to be in this movie.

I hope Shige turns out to be more like Aaron Yoo's character in Disturbia instead of a comic, inept goofball whose sole purpose is to be the butt of all the jokes.
