Transformers producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura recently broke some bad news to MTV:

The movie's sequel will not star Jonah Hill, as many sites have been reporting.

"No, no," he said of Hill's reported casting. "Ultimately, we'll have a couple casting surprises for everybody soon."

Director Michael Bay and returning stars Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox and Jon Voight are reportedly on board to return - and Bonaventura confirmed plans to start shooting the movie in Philadelphia and Bethlehem, Pennsylvania next month.

"Michael's got some really great stuff planned," he said.
