Transformers 4 is Bingbing About Filming in China
20 May 2013 1:00 AM, PDT | kidspickflicks | See recent kidspickflicks news »
Update: Li Bingbing (The Forbidden Kingdom), Nicola Peltz (The Last Airbender) and Sophia Myles (Thunderbirds) are the three women co-stars of Transformers 4, the first Transformers movie to not revolve around Sam Witwicky (Shia Labeouf).
Bingbing's casting marks the union of Transformers 4 and China Movie Channel, the first agreement of its kind where China will work hand-in-hand with the American production. Paramount says Transformers helmer Michael Bay is one of the favorite directors of Chinese audiences.
Peltz is currently on the TV show "Bates Motel" and will next be seen in Affluenza.
May 1: Voicing bad guy Stinky Pete in Toy Story 2 was a turning point for Kelsey Grammer. Known previously as Dr. Frasier Crane for more than a decade on TV, Grammer changed everything with his villainous turn. He went on to play corrupt Mayor Kane in "Boss" and now he'll play an on-camera villain in the movies. »

The ventriloquist daughter of Tom Conti is in the running for a Bafta – just as her latest show premieres in the Us
Sunday night is a big night for Nina Conti. The actor and comedian is up for a Bafta for her documentary Her Master's Voice, while her new sitcom Family Tree premieres on Us television, before its arrival on BBC2 later this year.
Yet Conti is not alone in hoping for plaudits this evening. Poised to share the glory will be Monkey, the ventriloquist's dummy that has helped her become a star in the space of a few years.
"I do laugh when I hear myself saying I am a ventriloquist," said Conti this weekend. "I am definitely suited to it though. I took it and ran with it quite hungrily. It is not for everyone, but it is just the chance to write for a character."

'Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike' far ahead for Best Play at Tony Awards
10 May 2013 6:16 AM, PDT | Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news »
Christopher Durang has enjoyed great success off Broadway with long-running hits like "Sister Mary Ignatius" but found little love on Broadway till now. However, that could well change as 10 of our experts expect his hit "Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike" to take home the top Tony for Best Play. This wry comedy stars Durang's longtime muse Sigourney Weaver who was snubbed by the Tonys for her bravura performance as the prodigal daughter who returns home to wreak havoc. The other three players of the title roles -- four-time Emmy champ David Hyde Pierce ("Frasier"), theater vet Kristine Nielsen and Broadway newcomer Billy Magnussen -- all contend for Tonys as does scene stealer Shalita Grant. Those backing Durang's bid are: Martin Denton (NY Theatre), Andy Humm (Gay USA), Brian Lipton (Theatermania), Michael Musto (Village Voice), Tom O'Neil (Gold Derby), Paul »
What's The Latest On Zach Braff's Kickstarter Controversy?
9 May 2013 12:00 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
By Beckett Mufson
Zach Braff, famous for his role as J.D. in the sitcom "Scrubs," has raid just under $2.5 million dollars in donations for his new movie, "Wish I Was Here," with crowdfunding site Kickstarter—but not everyone on the Internet is as enthusiastic as his 35,000 donors.
Ten days after it hit the web, TV writer/blogger Ken Levine ("Mash," "Frasier," "The Simpsons") published a condemnation of Braff's Kickstarter, along with the "Veronica Mars" campaign launched in March, that went viral, gaining 600,000 views. Levine said, "Zach Braff is a good actor and a fine filmmaker. But I wouldn't give him a dime."
He goes on to say that Kickstarter is a site that should be supporting filmmakers with no other prospects the same way Sundance Film Festival did in the 1990s. "[Sundance] showcased modest little movies by unknown filmmakers. Kevin Smith made Clerks (1994)— a grimy black and white film starring all unknowns. »

Kelsey Grammer cast as the villain in Transformers 4
2 May 2013 2:42 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
The Autobots have gone up against Megatron. They've gone up against The Fallen (and Megatron), and they've gone up against Sentinel Prime (and Megatron). Now they're set to face their gravest threat yet, with Deadline revealing that director Michael Bay has found his baddie for the fourth instalment in the Transformers franchise. No, it's not Unicron (not yet, at least) - it's Frasier and X-Men: The Last Stand star Kelsey Grammer, who has signed on to play Harold Attinger, a human villain described as "a counter intelligence guy." Based on past form, he's probably in league with Megatron.
Transformers 4 is set to take place four years after the events of Transformers: Dark of the Moon, and is intended as a "revamp" of the blockbuster movie franchise. Bay has jettisoned the entire cast of the original Transformers trilogy, with his Pain & Gain star Mark Wahlberg set to lead a new »

'Transformers 4': Kelsey Grammer Will Play the Villain in Michael Bay's Film
2 May 2013 11:42 AM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
The Decepticons are getting some competition in the bad guy category: Kelsey Grammer has signed on to play a villain in the next installment of the “Transformers” franchise. Grammer will appear in “Transformers 4” as a character named Harold Attinger, described as a counter intelligence agent and the main (human) antagonist in the movie. That's a bit of a role reversal for Grammer, who's known for playing affable characters like Frasier Crane on “Cheers” and “Frasier,” and Dr. Hank McCoy (a.k.a. Beast) in 2006's “X-Men: The Last Stand.” Grammer joins fellow new cast members Mark Wahlberg and Stanley Tucci in the film, which takes place four years after “Transformers: Dark of the Moon.” Director Michael Bay says the film will “start off smaller” than its predecessors. “To freshen the franchise we've redesigned everything from top to bottom,” Bay said. “The history of the first three movies is still »

'Transformers 4' Finds A Human Villain In Kelsey Grammer
2 May 2013 9:00 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
A "Transformers" movie will always feature the good robots, the Autobots, fighting some kind of evil machine, typically the villainous Decepticons, but, as is tradition in the Michael Bay films, there also has to be a human threat for the main characters to manage.
For "Transformers 4," Bay has enlisted the most dastardly bad guy from "The Simpsons" universe, Sideshow Bob himself, Kelsey Grammer. The "Frasier" and "Boss" star will play a man by the name of Harold Attinger, who according to the initial report from Deadline is a "counter intelligence guy."
Casting for the fourth installment in the ever-popular action series is now underway, and Grammer is the fifth actor cast in the last few months. The first official word on casting came when Bay revealed that he would be reteaming with his "Pain & Gain" star, Mark Wahlberg, for the start of a new "Transformers" trilogy.
Grammer also joins Jack Reynor and Nicola Peltz, »

Kelsey Grammer joins 'Transformers 4' as lead villain
1 May 2013 10:51 PM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
Though the "Transformers" movies generally boil down to good robots battling bad robots, it can't be forgotten that there is usually at least one human villain in the mix. For the upcoming "Transformers 4," that role will be played by Kelsey Grammer.
Deadline reports that Grammer will play the key antagonist role of Harold Attinger, a "counter intelligence guy." Though Grammer's best known for his years spent playing Frasier Crane, he's not unfamiliar with playing evil. Not only did he spend two years playing the deeply flawed Mayor Tom Kane in Starz's "Boss," he's also lent his voice to rogue's gallery that includes Sideshow Bob from "The Simpsons" and Stinky Pete from "Toy Story 2."
Appearing alongside Grammer in the film, which director Michael Bay has said is the start of a new trilogy, will be Mark Wahlberg, Stanley Tucci, "Bates Motel" star Nicola Peltz, and newcomer Jack Reynor.

The Transformers will be doing battle with Frasier Crane, as Kelsey Grammer joins Transfomers 4...
Now that Pain & Gain is finished and out in the world (well, it's not in the UK yet, but that'd ruin the intro if we pointed that out. Oops), director Michael Bay can turn his attention to his fourth Transformers movie.
We already know that the film has Mark Wahlberg and Stanley Tucci amongst its cast. But with production set to begin over the summer, it seems as though the film's villain has been locked down.
That's because it's being reported that Frasier Crane himself, Kelsey Grammer, is taking on the role of Harold Attinger in the film, described as "a counter intelligence guy". He'll be the human antagonist in the movie, although which robots in disguise he'll be working alongside remains to be seen.

'Transformers 4' Taps Kelsey Grammer as a Baddie
1 May 2013 3:27 PM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Kelsey Grammer wants to show the world that he's still so much more than just some reality TV tart and rag mag headline-maker. In fact, he's totes ready to become the bad guy ... even outside of the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" circle.
Quick, everyone, hide your daughters! Just kidding ... but kinda not.
The "Boss" star is the latest to join in on Michael Bay's first post-Shia Labeouf robot invasion spectacle "Transformers 4."
Grammer comes into the fold as villainous human named Harold Attinger, a character described oh-so-eloquently as some "counter intelligence guy" per Deadline.
Between this and his part opposite Sylvester Stallone in "Reach Me," Grammer might just be able to reemerge as a tough guy after all.
Of course, that doesn't solve all his problems. There's still this ...
Still, as the good Dr. Frasier Crane might observe, it's progress!
Meanwhile, Michael Bay's "Pain & Gain" muscle »

Transformers: Dark of the Moon used the real-life historical moment of the Apollo 11 moon landing to tie it into the events surrounding the Cybertronian aliens making their way to Earth.

‘Transformers 4′s First Main Threat Is Not Robotic But A Former Mutant!
1 May 2013 3:02 PM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Michael Bay’s Pain & Gain is currently top of the Us box-office chart with the director arguably receiving some of the best plaudits of his career which, for a change, aren’t coming from teenage boys. He’ll reunite with that film’s lead, Mark Wahlberg, for big-budget action sequel Transformers 4 and we can now give you a brand new casting update regarding the major villain.
Television favourite Kelsey Grammer, best known for Cheers, Frasier and Boss, has signed on for the role of Harold Attinger, a corrupt counter intelligence agent who is said to pose the biggest threat to the otherworldly alien race of perfectly-formed robots. No, Megan Fox isn’t in this one. However, Grammer will appear opposite the already cast Stanley Tucci, Jack Raylor and Bay’s up-skirt model this time around, Nicola Peltz.
Grammer’s biggest effort on the silver-screen was Brett Ratner’s comic-book sequel, »

Kelsey Grammer To Bring Some Mellifluous Villainy To Transformers 4
1 May 2013 2:59 PM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
I know that you have all been longing for some Transformers 4 news. I can see it in your eyes. Well, here it is: Kelsey Grammer has been cast as the villain in the Michael Bay robotic extravaganza. Touche, Mr. Bay. Touche.
Yes, Sideshow Bob himself will join a cast that includes Marky Mark, Julia Childs’ husband, and … some guy named Jack Reynor. He was apparently in Chasing Leprechauns, which we all loved and remember well.
Anyways, Kelsey Grammer is all set to play Harold Attinger, a counter-intelligence agent who does many villainous things with explosions and robots and stuff. I so cannot wait.
I jest, of course, but Transformers 4 really is shaping up to one weird ride. With the bizarre combination of pretty good actors like Mark Wahlberg and Stanley Tucci (and Kelsey Grammer, while we’re at it) with Chinese reality show winners and big mean robots »
