Megan Fox out of Transformers 3

I loved both recent Transformers films. While I agree that it's not really about the humans, I wouldn't want anyone recast as Michaela - Megan and Shia have great chemistry and yes, she's not a great actress by any means, but I thought they worked.
 
Shia has been very critical of Bay and the films as well basically saying he thought the second film was crap and it was Bay's fault etc. His comments just weren't picked up by the press and over done because he's not a beautiful and successful woman.

I don't think the franchise will suffer without her anything but tbh I only watched them to look at her (and I'm gay) so personally I won't be seeing the third one.
 
I personally don't get all the hate for Megan Fox, and I don't think she's that bad an actress.

If she did get fired because of what she said, then should Shia get the sack too, as he recently criticised the second movie?!

I'm not sure how they're going to suddenly write Mikaela out though? I know the film is all about the robots, but for the realistic part of it, the human storylines, to have Sam and Mikaela all loved up at the end of the second, to her not in it and him with another love interest in the third, wouldn't make any sense to me.
 
People may not like her, so think that it's not a big deal that she's not in it any more, but Sam and Mikaela and their relationship is important to making the movies believable. Plus, recasting wouldn't work IMO as the character is already established. I think it'll be tough to find someone, and get that chemistry built in such a short space of time. Or the other option, writing Mikaela out, won't make any sense to me, especially considering how the last one left of with them all loved-up. You can't just have a bunch of robots running around earth, as no-one will believe it. You need to have something that the audience can relate to, and in this case it's Sam and Mikaela's relationship, to make the whole thing believable.

People say she was a pain in the ass, yet conveniently ignore the letter from the crew member that painted her in a good light. And it's not as if she's the first actress to not like Bay and the way he is around females. Kate Beckinsale was critical of him after Pearl Harbour, and I read that the Australian actress from the first one refused to join the second one because of him.

At the end of the day, none of us know if she quite or was fired, just for me, everything points to her quiting. People say it's because she criticised Bay, but that was months ago, so why not just drop her then? Why wait till this close to filming? Plus, Shia recently criticised the movie and Steven Spielberg, yet he's still involved.
 
And that also won't work I don't think, as we know Mikaela as Megan, and her and Shia have great chemistry. Which is why I doubt she was fired.
 
I didnt think dhe was that bad an actress, some people seem to think women can't be 'attractive' and a good actress they have to be one or the other:(
 
I've only seen her in the two Transformers movies, and I thought she did alright. They're not exactly films where you're going to win an Oscar for your acting performance, so I'm not exactly sure what people expected? The same goes for the other movies she's been in, although I've not seen them.
 
There's a difference between saying the films are crap, even it's because of the Director (I'm sure he didn't compare Bay to Hitler) and generally being a nightmare to work with. It ony became news worthy once the crew hit back and boy did they hit back in that open letter.

It's posted here > http://www.cinematical.com/2009/09/12/transformers-crew-members-absolutely-trash-megan-fox/

Despite that open letter and her rubbishing him and the films he was prepared to let it go and have her back. Whether she quit or was axed there must have been something that caused this seperation to happen.
Without knowing any of the facts, if I were to put money on who was to blame I would put my money on it being her again.
I can see her being a bit like Hilton, Lohan and Kardassian. Famous for having a reality show of them being themselves doing sod all accept going shopping, parties and hanging out.
 
i read it was connected to bays demanRAB for her gaining weight and being suntanned

the thing was, she was due to be in it, as she turned up and was seen for the shooting of previz reference shots

so the something that occured must be connected to bays demanRAB, maybe

i mean he may off been on the edge after her comments, but still weclomed her back, albeit somewhat sarcastically on his webpage

she was seen at the previz shooting so it was obvioulsy an 11th hour thing

does anyone know about the letter that praised her from the crew ?

I knew about the famous condemnation where the crew, made their feelings known and bay allowed it to be posted on his website but had not heard of letter of praise from members of the crew too


does anyone have any more info about the australian actress from the first film, and kate beckinsale experience of him on pearl harbour ?
 
Right, I won't say much about megan fox herself other than I think that she quit because despite the tension between Fox and Bay, I do think the intention was for her to appear in the 3rd film. I don't see why they would fire her so close to filming and she did say that she doesn't want to repeat the same films so even doing the second film was too repetive for her.

Am I the only person who actually really enjoyed the 2nd film? I actually preferred it to the first one in all honesty. I get peoples points that the humans pressence and storylines are definitely needed because it is actually about the bond between the transformers and the human race. It would he hard to empathasise with a robot throughout the whole film so having Sam and mikaela is a good thing IMO. Also I rather enjoyed them teaming up with the roomate, he gave it sligh comedy moments which I found believable and funny.

Now personally I think it's stupid splitting Sam and Mikaela up as they have great chemistry and the transformers is a special bond that they have which they wouldn't have with anybody else. But giving him a new girlfriend is just pathetic :rolleyes: in RotF they made a big deal out of telling each other they love each other and as the film ended, they were more in love than ever. Now were expected to believe they break up just like that and Sam suddenly falls for someone else?! Not to mention the rumours that he marries this new girl :eek: WTF Is that all about? Completely unrealistic IMO. If Mikaela isn't in it then just let Sam go solo or if you have to then give him a mate.
 
Funny i'm just watching no 2 on Sky, not that bothered she's not in number 3, however glad to see Alan Tudyk will be, loved him in Firefly and Dollhouse.
