Money must be not a concern if he can turn down the opportunity. Then again, in 90% of cases, part twos of anything usually bomb into the toilet (MIB II, Starship Troopers II, etc).

Jonah Hill is a fat pig, who despite being almost 25, acts like an immature 13-year old w/ no social skills. Seriously, watch his interviews.

If this is true, Jonah Hill is one of my new favorite actors. Transformers was shit, a sequel probably will be as well, and the fact that someone out there is willing to walk away from it despite the guaranteed bank based on the fact that it’s no good restores just a tiny bit of my faith in mankind.

Jonah said he didnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t do it because he felt he wasn’t ready action or more serious roles and wanted to stick with comedy for another few while.

The thought of him sticking his nose up at Transformers 2 due to it sucking wouldnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t stop him because lets face it, he acted in such comedies such as Evan Almighty and Accepted.

Yes, it will be interesting to which funny fat guy will decide to swallow their pride and take on that sidekick role in his place.

Steven said “And the special effects were one of the worst parts of the first one.”

To me they were the best parts and everything else suffered from scrip epicization syndrome.

I have a feeling it wasn’t the quality of the script so much as the nature of his character. There were probably fat jokes inherent to his character’s every action which hasn’t been the case in his Jew Tang Clan films. I’m sure Jonah Hill would like to get laid more or just have self respect and playing characters who are written as fat and stupid won’t help.

A pairing of Jonah Hill and LaBeef does seem perfect though. They look and sound similar enough to even play brothers.

I have a confession; Transformers enjoy sucking big, sweaty balls.

And the special effects were one of the worst parts of the first one.

I must admit the first movie sucked balls! It’s no wonder Jonah didn’t want to be involved with the 2nd. Besides when has a Bay script been any good? Can anyone say cliche’?????

I am sooo glad Jonah is not degrading himself by being part of the continuously growing colossal shit pile that is Michael Bay’s Transformers series. One can only begin to imagine the drivel that is the Transformers 2 script.
The story has got to be even more laughable than that of the last movie, for somebody not to even want to finish it. And, my god, the first movie was so very intelligence-insulting. Why would you not just melt all the deceipticons down after defeating them? Why would you give Shia Labouff the cube so he can try and out run the evil robots? Questions like this boggle the mind. Aside from the special effects that were very good. The rest of the first movie sucked big sweatty balls and I don’t see a single reason why the sequel should be any better (with or without Jonah Hill.)
