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.
