Human character rumors

AllSpark.com has posted from a source a list of some of the human character names that may show up in the movie:

We've gotten some very interesting casting information for an upcoming movie. Our source wishes to remain confidential. The following roles are being cast for a movie currently being referred to as "Prime Directive", to be directed by Michael Bay for Dreamworks. Also note that these character names may not be final.

Sam - teenage male, somewhat nerdy, but ultimately heroic.
Miguela Barns - teenage female, Sam's love interest.
Cpt William Lennicks - 30s male, leader of the military.
Maggie - female, really hot, really smart, works as a codebreaker for the government.
John Kellar - 50's/60's male, US Secretary of State.
Glen Whitman - 20's male, technogeek, comic relief.

We've also been told that Shia LaBeouf has been cast in the role of Sam. With the recent rumour regarding Shia LeBeouf's casting in another Michael Bay film, draw your own conclusions (think "Blue Harvest").

The credibilty of any rumor should always be in doubt but a post on Don Murphy's board where he states "Miguela is not a name in the script nor is Lennicks- this guy spells like TurdTurdTurdTurdTurdTurdTurd/Pavel," lends it some credibility. Not exactly a straight up denial, indicating at least some of the info is correct.

Since this listed characters are a generic action flick cast so that lends it a degree of credibility. You have the usual young smart guy who taps his heroic side, with girlfriend that in real world wouldn't give him the time of day, the thirty something not couple that becomes couple in the end one of which is the muscle and the other the brain. Finally you have the male comedy relief (never female for some reason). You would be hard pressed to not find such ingredients in any action film.

As always time will tell.
