Casting has started for a reality show in China, the winners of which will gain speaking roles in Michael Bay’s next big-robots sequel.

TRANSFORMERS 4: CHINESE ACTOR TALENT SEARCH, as it will be called (my title was better), has begun auditions to find four actors (two professional, two amateur) for speaking parts in Bay’s next rubbish robot rumble. Between fifty and eighty THOUSAND hopefuls will be trying out for the show in front of a panel of industry professionals consisting of;

SID GANIS: the former head of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences, the current chairman of Jiaflix and producer of DEUCE BIGALOW: MALE GIGALO

LORENZO DI BONAVENTURA: Mega-successful producer of blockbusters including all TRANSFORMERS movies

DENISE CHAMIAN: Incredibly prolific casting director

MEGAN COLLIGAN: President of Domestic Marketing and Distribution for Paramount Pictures

JIA QI: China Movie Channel deputy director, which means he chooses which ‘Western’ movies are shown on Chinese television

LIANG LONGFEL: Vice President of M1905, a website owned by China Movie Channel.

What that panel lacks in star power, it makes up for with impeccable industry knowledge. Never the less, you can’t help but feel somewhere, Simon Cowell is rolling his eyes and saying to whoever will listen that it would be improved with the inclusion of Piers Morgan.

I’d like to Piers Morgan. With a javelin.

Piers sounds like pierce.

TRANSFORMERS 4 will blast into cinemas on June 27th 2014

John is a gentleman, a scholar, he’s an acrobat. He is one half of the comedy duo Good Ol’ JR, and considers himself a comedy writer/performer. This view has been questioned by others. He graduated with First Class Honours in Media Arts/Film & TV, a fact he will remain smug about long after everyone has stopped caring. He enjoys movies, theatre, live comedy and writing with the JR member and hetero life partner Ryan. Some of their sketches can be seen on YouTube and YOU can take their total hits to way over 17!
