Oh, these sure are some spicy news.
Paramount and
Michal Bay have decided to kick naughty
Megan Fox out of the "
Transformers" franchise, and to give
Shia Le Beouf a new love interest which would make more sense for the story. As you know Megan had a lot of sharp and imprudent statements about
Michael Bay comparing his directorial approach to Hitler, so it was more or less obvious that she has closed the doors leading her to "
Transformers 3" with her own hasty remarks. But according to "
Variety" the decision was unrelated to those remarks.
As expected, the studio and Bay are not crying after Megan, and according to first rumors, Bay has already had a talk with
Gemma Arterton ("Clash of the Titans", "Prince of Persia: Sands of Time") about the lead role. According to "The Wrap" she could compete for the main female role with model/actresses
Miranda Kerr, Brooklyn Decker and
Bar Rafaeli.
I imagine Michael Bay probably is a pain in the butt to work for, just from the stupid things I've heard him comment on, he's always sticking his foot in his mouth. But it's not surprise Megan would get booted, although she claims she left and wasn't fired, which could have been the case. In my opinion Megan Fox is the only reason any of the Transformers film were worth watching, and none of those replacements really impress me.
ReplyDeleteThere went half the eye candy...

ReplyDeleteI must agree with you about Megan (even though she doesn't seem quite intelligent and charming) being the only reason to watch TRANSFORMERS, and I also agree that none of the mentioned girls are match for her beauty (although any of them could probably beat her in acting :)
@Alex
I promise to find some new eye candy for you, deal? :)
@Dezmond - well we all know Transformers isn't about acting, nor is any other Michael Bay film, so this role is a step down for anyone with talent.
ReplyDeleteit's true, I think the same about JAMES BOND movies when it comes to Bond Girls, although I'm sure you wouldn't agree :)
ReplyDelete@Dezmond - no I would agree, except when it comes to Eva Green ;)
ReplyDeleteyes, we know Eva has a special place in your heart :)
ReplyDeleteI have to disagree here that Fox was the only reason to watch Transformers (the robots!!!). She undoubtedly got kicked out and there is no place for divas who are difficult around the set. Megan Fox is a disposable and replaceable part and there is plenty of ladies out there who can play the eye candy part while having some half-decent acting skills.
ReplyDelete@Castor - I'll take Fox over the corny robots any day.
ReplyDeleteThe only reason to watch Transformers, was to watch Megan Fox run. But I know they'll find another good 'bubblin' size actress to expose at ;P
ReplyDeleteWe all know what rude, cynical bitch Megan Fox is, so it's not very surprising that Michael Bay has decided to kick her out of Transofrmers, and although Megan is truly eye-candy, I think she kinda deserve this.
ReplyDeleteI've found the robots quite confusing and messy looking bunch of steel and iron, and found myself waiting for them to disappear from the screen :) so that I could just stare at Megan and Josh.
ReplyDeleteMaybe something new will help. The second movie was not as good as the first.
ReplyDeletei find this hilarious, mostly because i dislike megan fox, regardless of how attractive i find her.
ReplyDeleteHowever i am not a fan, so far, of Gemma. But i'm willing to let her try and win me over in Prince of Persia
I think everybody finds it hilarious :) What's even more hilarious is the extra-long list of the young hotties lined up to take the female lead in the film. In last few days we've heard about at least ten young beauties competing for the role, as if it was some ultra great gig which can bring you anything serious except thousands of teen fans.
