The smoldering good looks of Megan Fox will be glossed over like my eyes on the “leaning over the car engine” scene in Transformers, as Megan Fox steps away from the summer eyecandy films and takes on the role of an angel in Mickey Rourke’s Passion Plays.
Fox is now attached to star as an ‘Angel’ alongside Mickey Rourke in the indie crime story, Passion Plays. Mitch Glazer wrote and will also direct the story of a down-on-his-luck trumpet player who saves an ‘Angel’ who is under the thumb of a ruthless gangster.
Mickey is suspected to play the trumpet player, and after the wrestler we know he can nail sympathetic down-on-his-luck types and connect with audiences.
But will Megan Fox be able to keep up? Its often been criticized that if Fox wasn’t so damned pretty she wouldn’t have much left. Perhaps that is because all we are seeing her in requires her to stand there and look pretty.
Maybe in stretching her wings (she will have wings in this film) she can show us that she is not just a pretty face.
Maybe not.
