Megan Fox Fired from Transformers 3

Megatron was not the reason for the demise of Megan Fox’s character from Transformers. Instead, it is Megan Fox herself to be blamed.

Months ago, we reported that Fox and Michael Bay, the director of the Transformers movies, were feuding. To sum it up quickly, Fox made public statements that to be in a Michael Bay one did not need to act, and made further statements saying that working for Bay wasn’t the most enjoyable experience. Bay fired back quickly saying she was a young actress who didn’t know what she was saying. This feud started the rumor mill to whether Fox would be back for the third installment of the franchise. Before any really serious rumors circulated, Fox confirmed to us directly, via Twitter, that she would in fact be back.

However, this can all be put to rest. Michael Bay has fired Megan Fox from Transformers 3. Paramount did not pick up her option and apparently it was all due to to Bay. So yep, she will not be back. Did she deserve to be fired…well, probably. She is a small time actress compared to Bay as a director and she owes him some respect for him basically discovering her. Publicly lashing out against Bay is not the way to get a point across that working for him sucks.

To be honest though, I am pretty surprised. I would think that the two would put aside their differences to make the movie as profitable as it can be. I know robots and explosions primarily sell this movie, but both Fox and Shia LaBeouf, also play roles that generate box office numbers. LaBeouf is really the only nonexpendable character from the series, but there are plenty of guys that show up just to watch Fox.

Bay will have to hit the drawing board to replace the sex appeal that Fox’s character brought to the films. I thought he did a decent casting job in the second film bringing in the beautiful Isabel Lucas to have a minor role. I’m sure he will go with an unknown to replace Fox, but it will be interesting to see what he chooses. Maybe he will even turn her into a fembot and kill her in the first scene.

Any thoughts?

What do you think of Fox’s dismissal?

Megan Fox Confirms She Will be in Transformers 3 via Twitter

Nick recently posted that Michael Bay was trying to write Megan Fox out of the new Transformers movie, which is slated for 2011. The 2 have some serious beef apparently.

Today, I tweeted asking people to share their thoughts on if Bay does write Fox out of the script. Well, guess who responded. Yep, Megan Fox herself.

Fox tweeted back that “that won’t happen.” She also followed up with commenting that she is ” still employed…and will be in Transformers 3.”

Look, without Fox the movie will not feel the same way. Sure, Shia is the only actor in the series that is completely not expendable, but without Fox there will be something missing.

I’m happy she will be back.

Megan Fox Killed in ‘Transformers 3’?

The Goldwyn Follies movie download I liked Megan Fox’s turn as a boy-eating cheerleader in Jennifer’s Body, despite its box office results. I said in my review that she was only mediocre, but hey, at least she wasn’t playing Mikaela in Transformers. In fact, she really might not be playing her now-famous character in the upcoming Transformers 3. If you’ve been following her antics (and who hasn’t been?) you know that she’s been in a hot feud with director of both Transformers flicks Michael Bay.

It started in the magazine Entertainment Weekly download Vipers movie

this past summer, where she said that Transformers “(opened) doors” for her, but that audience are “well aware that this is not a movie about acting.”

You can get mad at her, and I can understand how you could, but she’s got a point. Transformers’ purpose for being made was not for terrific acting; it was for explosive robots and for Fox to lean against a car in a belly-shirt while 13-year-old boys in the audience drooled on their popcorn. Bay was pissed at this comment. He fought back in the Wall Street Journal, saying that Fox “(said) some very ridiculous things…She’s 23-years-old, and she still has a lot of growing up to do.” She replied by saying that working with Bay is worse than dealing with “Hitler.” Then letters from the movie’s staff were written to Fox calling her an ungrateful brat.

The Godfather download Now according to Perez Hilton’s blog

, movie insiders who are being left unnamed claim that Michael Bay and his troupe are sick of Megan Fox’s attitude and are looking for a way to kill her character off. They went on to say that Bay is “considering writing Megan out of the series in a gory death scene in the first few frames of Transformers 3 and replacing with another gorgeous young actress.” Here’s the entire statement via

Popcrunch-

“Michael’s pretty much discovered Megan and now he’s very quietly looking for her replacement. He hasn’t decided if he’s going to kill her off in the next movie, but he just wants to be prepared.”

Could another Megan Fox be in the making? Well, maybe not. Fox’s bevy isn’t taking this lying down, saying that this story is simply “not true.” The gossip site also attack the last line of Hilton’s post about Fox having “dug (her) own grave”, saying that “if there’s one thing Perez doesn’t know, it’s how to dig.”

So could Megan Fox really not be returning for Transformers 3, which is already slated for a July 11^th, 2011 release? Probably not. It’s Perez Hilton, and I don’t count on him for movie news. Megan Fox is Megan Fox, and no one is better at looking good in a robot movie than her. Hey, she sells tickets as long as she’s tan, dirty, and showing some sort of skin.

Come on, Michael Bay. You know the series would be missing something without her.

Jennifers Body – Movie Review

Hey everyone, it’s Nick. I saw Jennifer’s Body on Friday, and I thought that it was very good. Diablo Cody’s witty script plays perfectly with Amanda Seyfried; the zingy one-liners spoken by her and Megan Fox are hilarious. Some may say that because of Megan Fox’s starring in Body, you can immediately write it off as a good movie. She is mediocre, however the story doesn’t really follow her all that much. It’s more about Needy, Seyfried’s character in the film. I recommend you check this out if you loved Juno

like me, since there is such a deep presence of Diablo Cody in Jennifer’s Body. Check out my video review below, and tell me what you thought of Jennifer’s Body!
