First Skids and Mudflap were canned from Transformers 3, and now this! Our sister site Deadline is reporting that Megan Fox has essentially been fired from the franchise, since director Michael Bay and the studio won't be picking up her sequel option. Was it something she said? (Like, "[Michael Bay] wants to be like Hitler"? Or maybe "I don't know how you saw [Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen] in IMAX without having a brain aneurysm or at least a migraine headache"? And let's not forget about "You don't have to look like an airbrushed Cosmopolitan cover all the time to be attractive"?)
Whatever the case, it's both a long time coming -- as anyone who read the notorious crew letter about Fox would know -- and awfully abrupt, as the studio just cast Patrick Dempsey to play her character's boss. Still, with a little Final Draft "search and replace" and a poignant opening monologue for Shia to deliver to Bumblebee about love and loss, we suppose even this obstacle can be overcome. (Still, Shia, now might be a good time to keep quiet.)
