I have stated in the past that i believe the "Rob's awesome" girl is supposed to be the character "Jamie Lascano" played by another actress, but since the characters are never named, the producers can write this continuity off.

I also surmise, without any hard evidence, that the 11 dollar guy is supposed to be "Hud" and his continuity is written off for the exact same excuse as the "Rob's awesome" girl.

There is no way for me to prove this now, but I would be very surprised to see the 11 dollar dude or the rob's awesome girl in the release of the film and I would expect the actors playing Hud and Jamie on MySpace etc will be seen in similar if not exact situations as the characters in the trailer.

You may think it's out of left field, but considering how centric the "interviews" and camera time in the trailer are to the other 5 that we have confirmed and how these 2 equally focused on characters from the trailer are missing from the MySpace lineup and in their place a similar looking blonde girl and a party/comic book dude replace them... I'd say I may be out on a limb, but it's a pretty sturdy one.

Although there is still the possibility that she's a person who meets Rob inbetween today and 1-18-08, maybe we just haven't seen her yet. The same goes for many people at the party, but I admit it's less likely that you'll be at a surprise party for someone if you have only known then more a few months.


True...I wouldn't expect to see many *new* friends develop between now and 1-18-08, but I think a few relatives, old friends, co-workers might start showing up on Myspace....


I'm Jamie's friend, maybe I'll show up in the trailer and I don't know it yet? Laughing

Didn't someone snap a picture of the actors' trailers' doors, one saying "Hud" and another "Guy", as in "11 Dollars Guy"?

If you're correct, I would guess instead of reshooting the parts of the movie with the new/replaced actors, these scenes would be cut from the movie. Much cheaper then reshooting a scene just to insert the *correct* actors into the movie. Now if the *old/replaced* actors had more screen time/involved roles, then some reshoots would be needed I'm sure.

Since the budget has been reported to be (relatively) low 30 million, reshoots would probably be avoided unless vital to the plot of the movie.

I totally agree that the blond girl is supposed to be Jaime and 11 dollar guy is supposed to be Hud. I just can't get something out of my head though, the 11 dollar guy. He's been in other movies, I just cant put my finger on it. At first I put him as the stoner kid in cant hardly wait with the blond fro'y hair...but I'm pretty sure thats not it. I just can't get it right, but I know...100% that he's been in other things, let it be movie or tv. I'll figure it out eventually.

I'm stickin with the 11 dollar guy and hud being seperate. I've yet to see any real compelling evidence to show that they're one and the same... i'll find that picture of his name on a door, but for now, just read this blog which gives strong evidence that TJ Miller is already in the trailer.

You mean this?

Just scroll down a bit to find the pics of the cast's lockers, including "Guy"'s.

My theories may be a long shot and admittedly farfetched, but how does one make the logical leap from a label saying "guy" to mean "11 dollar dude"?

TJ Miller? The comedian? He's playing Hud?

I've missed something...

Absolutely. Even IMDB got it right! Just check out "TJ Miller" on IMDB and you'll see Hudson Platt in the flesh.

So, TJ Miller has a myspace page: http://www.myspace.com/tjmillerisnotonmyspace

On this myspace page (which appears to be really his, with real friends commenting on his budding acting career and no trace of the slusho 7), a friend of his named Kaitlin commented on Aug. 6:

Holy balls TJ, I just saw that trailer for that mystery movie before Transformers, and yeah, that's totally your voice. That movie looks insane. That is so amazing for you! JJ Abrams?! Awesome!
I'm a bum and don't like using my phone, but I swear I'll call you soon!
~Kaitlin


So the inference of this comment is - his voice is in the trailer but he, personally, is not pictured. Otherwise the comment would be something like "OMG, I saw you in the trailer", right? So, Hud is probably the guy with the camera aka Rob's Main Dude.

Wow, this is so surreal ... if it's true.

So far we have MySpace pages for 7 fictional characters in the movie and
now, apparently, there's a page for one of the actual actors in the movie!

All of me is itching for this to be true.

EDIT: And by true I meant that it really is TJ Miller playing Hud. It's obviously a real MySpace page and the images sure do look alike.

Wow. I just noticed this, posted here on Aug 07 on page 51 of the "MySpace Accounts" thread. Nothing seems to have been done with it though.

Hud is played by TJ Miller, a comedian.

Also, just to add, Lena has changed her default pic, I guess the blonde do was confusing people? She has a darker haired pic up. And her music has changed to "The People" by Common.
