I don’t know what to make of this casting news: John Malkovich and Frances McDormand will be appearing in Transformers 3, shooting next month. Also joining them is Ken Jeong, which is less shocking and more just cool (Senor Chang on Community is my favorite TV character right now).
Here’s what’s most mind-blowing about this: if Frances McDormand’s husband should happen to visit her on set that means a fucking Coen Brother would have been present during the filming of Transformers 3. A Coen Brother!
Malkovich apparently has a major role, playing the National Intelligence Director – who is Shia LaBeouf’s boss. I guess he did an accelerated program out of college or something. It’s unclear who McDormand will play, or the size of her role.
This certainly isn’t the weirdest possible casting – both actors have made their share of stinkers – but it will be modestly surreal watching Malkovich get the full on John Turturro treatment.

Oy.
Oo Ooo Ooo! I hope Malkovich over-announciates while whispering an angry tirade and finishes it with condescending shouts! That would be so fun!
Uhh… McDormand is the one playing the director and Malkovich will be playing a boss that has nothing to do with US govt.
Anyone remember hearing way back when how Malkovich turned down the Green Goblin role in "Spider-Man" because he didn't want to do a silly genre picture? Apparently, he never watched "Con Air". But really, how major can a character be in a Transformers film anyway? Aside from whoever was running around with Shia and Fox, there were something like 278 other characters in those first 2 films fighting for screen time and their share of bad robot dick jokes……….Also, while Senor Chang is great, I'd like to see more of Rabbi Chang in future "Community" episodes.
I seriously doubt Joel Coen is going to visit his wife on set. They're not newly weds for pete's sakes. Joel Coen doesn't give a sh*t.
i hope mcdormand and malkovich renact the scene from "Burn After Reading" with shia in place of pitt…"he had very little report with his subordinates.." "REPOIRE! Very little repoire! Fucking moron!"
RAPPORT. RAPPORT. RAPPORT.

What to make of it? A dump truck of money was pulled up to their houses, that's what to make of it.
Michael Rappaport is in this?
SPOILER ALERT! The "Intelligence Director" thing is a red herring! Francis McDormand is Unicron!
Those low ceilings really hamper Transformations
bay said he was going to take a break from fighting robots.. oh well.. this should be a well-thought out turd. hope Malko doesn't get too tuturro'd in this.
