Transformers: Dark of the Moon (Transformers 3)


Recommended Posts

This is a bad sign. Megan Fox was on set just a few weeks ago, and filming was supposed to be from May 17th to July 1st. This means the script was written with the Mikaela character, but it looks like she was 'fired' in the last two weeks which means they have absolutely no time to do a decent script re-write without the character. :no:

More sources to make it official:

Megan Fox has been axed from " Transformers 3," Access Hollywood has confirmed.

Nikki Finke, who first reported the news for Deadline that Megan was out, claimed that decision was "ultimately" director Michael Bay 's.

he'll just blow her up bay style :p

Megan Fox is seeking to transform rumor to fact.

The actress is slamming speculation she was booted from the third installment of the Transformers action film franchise.

?Megan Fox will not be starring in Transformers 3," reps for the actress, 24, tell PEOPLE. "It was her decision not to return. She wishes the franchise the best.?

Citing unnamed sources, Variety reports the studio and the film's director, Michael Bay, intend to case another actress as star Shia LaBeouf's love interest to move the story in a different direction.

Shooting for the film, slated for a July 2011 release, is expected to kick off this summer in locations across the U.S.

Fox, meanwhile, is prepping for the June 18 release of Jonah Hex, an action film she stars in opposite Josh Brolin, John Malkovich and Will Arnett.

PEOPLE

Hmmm, Megan is crazy.

Michael Bay is NO Hitler... DUMB statement.

:/

This is really BAD for her movie career!!!

She is hot, but her ungrateful "Hitler statement" about the man made her famous, definitely will cause many people to think twice before casting her.

This articles says ALL kinds of bad things about her! Probably NOT all true though.

Honestly, if Megan is out, they shouldn?t try to give Shia?s character a new love interest; recast the Mikaela character, maybe; but a complete new one? After all those two went through in the previous two movies. it simply doesn?t look right, I?d rather having him alone...

she is hot, kinda dumb but still hot. also how will the movie start without her in it lol. why not have her in first 15 mins and then she gets killed or something.

That would be awesome. It would be great comic relief :)

Ladies and gentlemen - though mostly the gentlemen will appreciate this news - have we got a scoop for you!

GeekWeek has learned from an inside source that Victoria's Secret model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley will soon be cast to replace Megan Fox in TRANSFORMERS 3. Details surrounding her character are still pending.

Another interesting tidbit for you: she's currently Jason Statham's girlfriend.

Reports that Megan Fox left Transformers 3, and not the other way around, are looking more plausible now. The Wrap has a source ?close to the actress? who claims that Fox walked away from the film because Michael Bay was ?verbally abusive.? Fox ?had enough and decided to get out early.? This squares with previous statements that Fox has made about Bay, calling him a ?tyrant? and a difficult director to work with.

The Wrap?s Jeff Sneider speculates that ?it?s highly plausible that Paramount studio chariman Brad Grey?s well-known relationship with [Deadline] editor-in-chief Nikki Finke played a part in how the story was initially spun.? Deadline was the first to break the news this past Wednesday that Fox was out of the sequel. For its part, Paramount is still claiming agency in the decision. Said the studio: ?Paramount had the unilateral right to exercise an option for Megan Fox to appear in ?Transformers 3.? Paramount at its sole election allowed the option to lapse.?

I just want to say, Megan Fox didn't walk off.. she got fired and hearing otherwise is just a publicity stunt.

She's a two-bit ######.

Hopefully this new actress whose actually PRETTY can actually ACT too.

    • First time clicking on a Sayan Sen article after he started making clickbait, vague headlines recently. Didn't read, just came here to say the headline doesn't look like very cheap, vague clickbait this time. Are you okay?
    • Good review, and yeah the benchmark breakdown is pretty clear but also a little messy in a good way. It’s kinda interesting to see where the RX 9070 GRE slides in between the 7800 XT and the 9070 XT , especially when it comes to AI tasks and Blender style workloads. The side by side with Nvidia’s RTX 5070 and 4070 makes it feel obvious just how competitive the mid range GPU scene has gotten lately, and that’s great for creators and gamers too since you can pick based on your priorities rather than only chasing one single thing.
    • That's it. I finally uninstalled Firefox because they often keep pushing buggy updates, only to test them later and make users suffer. No longer is it my alternative browser to Edge. What a waste of energy. Firefox is bad for the environment, just like Chrome (wasting RAM/energy).

A newly published blog post details what IT admins should do to prepare for the upcoming launch. Next, we have new Windows 11 bugs. Users report that this month's security updates for Windows 11 cause all sorts of issues, including BitLocker bugs, OneDrive issues, black screens of death, and third-party integration in Office apps. Microsoft has not confirmed those yet, but it acknowledged other issues with its operating system. What Microsoft has confirmed is a bug where Recycle Bin delete prompts display internal file names instead of actual ones, and a year-old Windows JScript compatibility bug caused by security-focused engine changes. Moving to more positive news, Microsoft and Adobe are working on improving Windows performance in popular creative apps like Photoshop. Thanks to SPGO optimizations, users can expect up to 20% better performance. Finally, we have a few useful articles that can help you recover your PC or make it perform better.

This week, Microsoft announced its newest Surface devices powered by Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon X2 processors. There is the 12th-gen Surface Pro and the 8th-gen Surface Laptop.

Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week Earlier this week, we reviewed the DuRoBo Krono, a portable, phone-sized e-reader with some interesting physical controls. This device has an Apple Watch-like dial for page turning, frontlight adjustment, and more. Software is simple and no-nonsense, but it also lacks some useful features and customization. Overall, the device proved interesting, but not flawless. On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. Forza Horizon 6 received two big updates this week. Alongside the Series 2 content update, developers pushed plenty of bug fixes and balancing tweaks.
