Update: Lily Collins is said to have been offered the role, although the article keeps vanishing and reappearing with new info.

And so it continues…

Reporting on actors NOT locked in for a role, Variety is writing that Emma Roberts (Scream 4), Lily Collins (Priest), Kat Dennings, Portia Doubleday and Addison Timlin are on the shortlist to play “Stormy Llewellyn,” the girlfriend of the title character in Odd Thomas.

Anton Yelchin is attached to star in the supernatural thriller, which Stephen Sommers (The Mummy, Van Helsing) is directing from his own script, based on the best-selling novel by the incredible Dean Koontz (who also swore he’d never let one of his novels be adapted into a feature ever again).

Set in a California desert town, story follows Odd Thomas, a short-order cook with clairvoyant abilities who encounters a mysterious man with a link to dark, threatening forces.

Production is scheduled to start May 2 in Santa Fe, N.M.

A wild marketing stunt this morning saw Paramount launching the official trailer for Transformers One off into space, but don’t worry, you don’t need to put on a spacesuit in order to watch it. The official trailer for the brand new animated movie is now available online.

Every Transformer has an origin. Watch the Transformers One trailer below.

In theaters September 20, Transformers One is the untold origin story of Optimus Prime and Megatron, better known as sworn enemies. But they once were friends, bonded like brothers, who changed the fate of Cybertron forever.

In the first-ever fully CG-animated Transformers movie, Transformers One features a star-studded voice cast, including Chris Hemsworth, Brian Tyree Henry, Scarlett Johansson, Keegan-Michael Key, and Steve Buscemi, with Laurence Fishburne and Jon Hamm.

Josh Cooley (Toy Story 4) directed the film from a script by Andrew Barrer and Gabriel Ferrari.
