George Clooney has in talks to play Optimus Prime in the upcoming feature film version of THE TRANSFORMERS. According to AbsoluteNow.com, Clooney is a big Transformers fan and when he heard a movie was in the works, wanted to be a part of it. According to AbsoluteNow’s scooper: “"George is a big kid when it comes to stuff like robots and especially Transformers. When he heard they were making a movie he made no secret of the fact he wanted to be in it.” The film will be directed by BAD BOYS 2 auteur Michael Bay and we couldn’t think of a better choice for this project.
