It's more or less a case of another day, another massive franchise for Hugo Weaving. When he's not appearing in **The Matrix **or The Lord Of The Rings, he's doing top drawer voice work on the likes of V For Vendetta, and now it's been announced that he's to join Transformers, as nothing less than the metallic-tinged vocal chords of chief Decepticon Megatron.
And apart from being great news for everyone except the most diehard purists (who wanted the cartoon's original Megatron voice, Frank Welker, to pick up the mic), that's it. The information comes through the website following the development of the film, sectorseven.org. You can access the site and pick up the odd bit of breaking news if you use the password NBETWO.
Transformers open in the on July 27.
