Two sources have confirmed that Hugo Weaving (The Matrix, V for Vendetta) has been selected to voice the character of Megatron in the upcoming "Transformers" movie. The rumblings of Mr. Weaving landing the job was originally reported in January of this year.

The first source is entertainment website IESB, which first reported the Weaving rumor in January.

The second source comes from a cryptic message that has shown up on the Sector Seven website (which can be accessed with the password "NBETWO"), which alludes to Mr. Weaving landing the voice acting gig: "As of today, Agent H. Weaving has officially convinced S.S. , M.B., R.O., and A.K. to assign him to oversee the Megaman issue. The recording will commence immediately."

While first seeing these initials is pretty mind-boggling, Director Michael Bay's official blog gives a clear cut definition of the initials with S.S. standing for Steven Spielberg, M.B. for Michael Bay, R.O. as Roberto Orci, and A.K. as Alex Kurtzman. The blog post on Mr. Bay's site reveals nothing new other than the initials, neither confirming nor denying the news. However, this post is made by site adminitrator "nelson," and not Mr. Bay.

Does this mean the possibility of Frank Welker's voice of appearing in the "Transformers" movie is gone? Not so, says IESB. "I have been told there might still be a Transformer that Frank Welker would voice," writes Robert Sanchez of IESB. However, he adds that he does not know which character Mr. Welker could potentially voice.

Update: Ain't It Cool News has also reported that according to their "sources within Paramount/Dreamworks," this news is indeed accurate.
