Tyrese Gibson still can’t believe his luck at being cast in Transformers

Written by Darren 'Starscream' Jamieson on March 9, 2009 | News,Transformers movie (2007),Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen |

Star of Transformers and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Tyrese Gibson, is naturally excited about being part of the movies, but still can’t get over how lucky he is. Tyrese was a fan of Transformers when he was a child (who wasn’t?) and as such is living out his fantasy by appearing in the Transformers films.

Gibson, a singer turned actor, became a hot property after the first Transformers movie in 2007, which grossed $701 million at the worldwide box office.

What’s even better for Tyrese, and something we all dream about, is that’s he’ll have an action figure made of his character for the sequel, Transformers 2, which is released in June.

Tyrese says:

They’re showing us all the latest toys that are going to be out with the film and everything, it just feels so mega-big. It’s a real honour to be a part of this whole situation. I grew up looking at the Transformers cartoon. I was the little kid with the bowl of cereal in my hand, in my drawers watching Transformers. So it’s crazy!

According to The Digital Bits, who are very reliable with anything to do with the home video format, Paramount will again be releasing Transformers on DVD and Blu-ray in 2009, to coincide with transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, but this time in an extended format.

The most likely length of this new edition will be the Imax version of the film, which added a few needless scenes.
