Rainn Wilson Joins Transformers 2 Cast

Everyone’s favorite assistant to the regional manager has just got himself a new job. Rainn Wilson has signed on to Michael Bay’s next hack job, “Transformers 2″, as he told MTV while discussing his upcoming comedy “The Rocker”:

“A professor that turns into a car that turns into a robot,” he laughed…

For his part, Wilson was coy with more details, claiming to have not even read a full script.

This news follows on the heels of the relief that Jonah Hill turned down the part of playing Shia LaBeouf’s college roommate. Not that I have anything against Hill, quite the opposite actually. Hill said he didn’t feel like he had proven himself yet to take on such a big film. I’m guessing he might have seen the first one and decided he didn’t want to be associated with that.
