Jonah Hill not joining 'Transformers 2'

Jonah Hill will not join Shia LaBeouf in the upcoming Transformers sequel.

Entertainment Weekly had reported that the Superbad star was in talks to play the college roommate of LaBeouf's character Sam Witwicky.

However, the magazine now claims that negotiations between Hill and DreamWorks have broken down.

Transformers grossed more than $700 million worldwide following its release last summer. The second instalment will film later this year in Philadelphia.

Hill, who can currently be seen in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, is in line for a cameo role opposite Ben Stiller in Night at the Museum 2.
