Stephen Soderbergh (Oceans Trilogy, The Underneath, Che) is one fantastic filmmaker. I’m not
sure how I feel about the Oceans sequels, but I love the rest of his body of work. It was a nice
surprise to see that The Informant, which I thought was going to be a corporate thriller/drama is
actually a comedy. And damn if it doesn’t look life a funny one. In The Informant the U.S.
government decides to go after an agri-business giant with a price-fixing accusation, based
on the evidence submitted by their star witness, vice president turned informant Mark
Whitacre (Matt Damon). The cast also includes Scott Bakula, Patton Oswalt, Candy Clark,
Joel McHale, and Frank Welker. It’s nice to see Bakula back on the big screen. Check out
the trailer below.
*Welker has worked in nearly 600 projects since 1967, including being the voice of
Megatron in 44 episodes of The Transformers animated series.

I LOVE Frank Welker! He often plays animals and other non-human creatures, it’s pretty amusing, his resume. I can’t wait to see him in The Informant!
I’ll never forgive Michael Bay for snubbing him to reprise the voice of Megatron (and then wasting Hugo Weaving’s voice). At least he’s in Revenge of the Fallen as a couple voices – just not as Megatron, grrrr
