EW is reporting that Superbad star Jonah Hill is in negotiations to star opposite Rough LeBeouf in Transformers part Deouche.

EW cites a source saying Hill will be comic relief as LeBeouf’s college roommate.  Of course, this could all be part of Michael Bay’s alleged counter-intelligence effort. 

Reached for comment on the Hill story, Bay quipped, “Yes, it would appear we’re close to signing Jonah.  But then, sometimes there’s… more than meets the eye.”  At which point he giggled so hard a Cheerio shot out his nose. 

Honestly, Bay trying to confuse people about the plot of Transformers is like my grandma giving me false hints about where she’s hiding the Easter eggs this year.  We’re 33 now grandma, unless they’re in an omelette no one gives a shit.
