its fake, Michael Bay would never do that in a movie even if every fan begged for it. it sucked to see jazz die but if they bring back dead characters (with and exception to megatron because its megatron for goodness sake) then you can count me being against the movie.

oh man... the hate is starting already...
if you read the leaked treatment, you'd see how they originally planned to bring back megatron, thanks to soundwave.
As for Jazz coming back.... well, maybe it's his twin brother Meister

I would go with the fake Michael Bay leak theory.
I really, really hope it's a fake. I don't know wether to blame the actor, writers, or director. But the net result was every time jazz opened his mouth I wanted to leave the theater.
It is interesting that we're finally seeing an acknowledgement that this movie getting made will hinge on the writers strike.
What this means is don't hold your breath, a lot of people think they may hold out until the directors and actors go on strike also. That would probably mean more like summer 2010. But who knows?

The thing that upset me about his first appearance in the movie is that the voice that he used just wasn't right for the character. IRL, he has a voice that is similar to Scatman Crothers (G1 Jazz).

Jazz has been a favorite character a few times over the years, don't get me wrong.
But-
"This looks like a good place to kick it."
It was just painful. Really, only Optimus and BB had good dialogue in the movie (yes, I know BB was mute). But Jazz was just about the worst. I didn't think his design this particular go round was all that either.

starting already? the hate's been there since day 1 :>
As much as I love Jazz, I really don't think it's a good idea to resurrect him. because you know.... being ripped in half and have your spark personally extinguished by Megs is quite a hard thing to come back from, story-writing wise.
And he can't just pop back into the series either, like Wheeljack suddenly did in the funana comics.

Sorry, doublepost. I liked the game voice more, actually. Kinda fitted the "light hearted" character more.

If he is coming back (which i doubt) i'd imagine a prequel sequence of some kind will be involved. Desperate battle for the allspark on cybertron anyone?
Perhaps Bay is just playing the jester and jestering us all about a bit. Or perhaps Bay isn't playing the jester, but knows fans will think he's playing the jester, so he's actally letting the truth out in a quasi-jesterfying manner, and....
...oh poo, I've gone cross eyed.

This could be a hoax. I say that because on RottenTomatoes.com a month or so ago, Michael Bay was quoted in an article saying that he was intentionally going to leak out false information to throw the fans off. I remember him being quoted as saying "I now know their game..." so I would be pretty wary of any scripts, interviews, or anything else out there.
