Megan Fox dropped from Transformers 3

[nation]

Megan Fox has reportedly been dropped from Transformers 3.

Deadline claims "Paramount won't be picking up Megan Fox's option on Transformers 3 -- and that it was 'ultimately' director Michael Bay's decision. (So he gets his revenge for her remark comparing him to 'Hitler'.)" In other words, she was fired for her past war of words with the Transformers director.

The site adds that the script is being rewritten now to give Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) a new love interest. That role will be cast as soon as possible. Nothing is known about the character, except that she will likely be extremely hot and vapid.

Fox, 24, has seen her star rise and fall in just a few short years. She burst into the big time with her role as Mikaela Banes, a.k.a. eye candy bent over the engine of a muscle car, in 2007's Transformers. She followed that with the flop How to Lose Friends and Alienate People before appearing in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Jennifer's Body, her horror comedy with Diablo Cody, also flopped, and her upcoming Jonah Hex doesn't exactly have the greatest buzz surrounding it.

Time will tell whether Megan Fox can rally back and prove to the industry and public that she's a legitimate actress and star, or if she'll serve as a cautionary tale for other overnight stars whose outspoken antics and diva reputations ruin their once promising careers before they even truly began.


How fucking dumb are you Michael Bay? Holy shit.

 

[Jon Honcho]

First Bay keeps the Twins in the movie and now he gets rid of Megan Fox? In addition to the reputation the last movie got, how does he now expect this movie to sell? JESUS.

 

[Lady Redfield]

Too bad she's already one of the most important characters in the series. Doesn't really work that way.

Most actresses can't act for shit. Fox isn't as bad as people say. Of course she isn't "Oscar talent" but she has her moments.

it doesnt matter if she can act or not shes HOT

What he said.

Agreed, Lady Hotrod. Not only does she have zero talent, I don't find her attractive in the least, which is funny because her looks are the epitome of Jersey girls. Most men like her because she looks like she stepped out of a porno. I, however, do not.

I'd like to see a Transformers movie based on Cybertron with NO human interaction. One of the things I hated the most about both films was that there were almost as many human characters as there were Autobots/Decepticons.

I'd love to see a prequel but they will never do it. Which is why we have to make due with what they have/had.

(Update 6:15 p.m. PST: AICN's "trustworthy sources" are hearing that half of the actresses in Hollywood are being considered as candidates to replace Megan Fox in "Transformers 3." They include "Star Trek" and "Avatar" star Zoe Saldana (seems too mature for Shia and really, another franchise?), "Heroes" star Hayden Panetierre (not a fan but could have good chemistry with Shia), "High School Musical" star Vanessa Hudgens (not a bad choice for the kiddies), Amber Heard (yes please!), Camilla Belle (bad actress), Emmanuelle Chriqui (worse actress) "Twilight" star Ashley Greene (who?), Julianne Hough (stick to "Dancing With the Stars," honey), "90210" star Jessica Lowndes and English model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.

EXCLUSIVE

"Prince of Persia" star Gemma Arterton is the front-runner to replace Megan Fox in "Transformers 3," TheWrap has learned.

An individual close to the casting process says the actress has already had discussions with Bay about the coveted role. Other possible replacements for Fox include models Bar Rafaeli, Miranda Kerr and Brooklyn Decker.

Paramount has confirmed to TheWrap that the studio decided against picking up Fox's option for the sequel, and an individual close to the production explained that as screenwriter Ehren Kruger was developing the screenplay with director Michael Bay, it made sense for star Shia LaBeouf to have a new love interest. Ouch!

Rafaeli and Kerr were both brought in to the project's casting office to read for "Transformers 3," while Decker has the most substantial acting career of the three models.

Decker has appeared on "Chuck," "Ugly Betty" and USA's "Royal Pains," and is currently filming the comedy "Just Go With It" with Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston. She was also on the cover of this year's Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, and is married to American tennis star Andy Roddick.

Rafaeli is an Israeli model who is currently dating Leonardo DiCaprio and stars in Haim Bouzaglo's indie psychological thriller "Session," which is in post-production.

Kerr is an Australian model whose acting experience seems to be limited to an episode of the CBS sitcom "How I Met Your Mother" in which she played herself. She's been one of the Victoria's Secret Angels since mid-2007.

But Arterton remains the possibilty who makes the most sense, as she plays Jake Gyllenhaal's love interest in "Prince of Persia" and is no stranger to Hollywood blockbusters, having also starred in "Clash of the Titans" and "Quantum of Solace." Arterton, who is the same age as both LaBeouf and Fox, is currently at Cannes with the Stephen Frears comedy "Tamara Drewe."

All of these beauties seem to be out of LaBeouf's league, but I guess having a car that turns into a giant robot helps with the ladies.

Fox previously started a PR nightmare by comparing Bay to Hitler and continued to make waves by publicly dissing the director, even after he wrote a letter welcoming her return to the franchise. It couldn't have helped that Fox's "Jennifer's Body" was eaten alive at the box office and her upcoming summer movie, "Jonah Hex," has horrible buzz.

Bay will begin casting immediately for the new female lead.

Deadline first broke the news of Fox's departure.

eh idk, replacing...

...with...

I'm sorry but...no.

Maybe Bay wanted to focus on the story this time. Just a thought.
