Leonard Nimoy lends his voice to Sentinel Prime
Sentinel Prime's wrecked body, which had crash landed on the moon and was discovered by the Apollo 11 astronauts in 1969, was first seen in the teaser trailer for Transformers: Dark of the Moon. On earth, he will take the form of a fire engine, and serve in the sequel's climactic end battle sequence that takes place in downtown Chicago.
Michael Bay had originally wanted to get Leonard Nimoy in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, but was afraid that he wouldn't be able to pay the actor enough money for the voice work.
Here is what Michael Bay had to say.
"I was too scared to ask him. Plus, he's married to Susan Bay, who's a cousin of mine. So I had to be careful. I've met him at family functions. But he told me, 'I would be honored. I'm glad to be back!'"
Transformers: Dark of the Moon was released June 29th, 2011 and stars Shia LaBeouf, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Julie White, Kevin Dunn, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, Alan Tudyk, John Malkovich. The film is directed by Michael Bay.
