The updated news is that Fox quit Transformers 3, and she didn’t get fired. And in other news, I too passed on that role in Transformers 3. Its so beneath me.
Megan Fox’s handlers – I use that term loosely for its innuendo and their inability to keep her out of the negative publicity – have done their basic duty to put forth a statement about Fox being canned on Transformers 3.
Wait, isn’t that what most people who get fired shout back at their employer when they are canned? Or what a jaded girlfriend says when she gets dumped? Hmmm?
Cinemablend gives us the update:
Fox’s handlers tell People Magazine that the 24-year-old actress walked away from the film of her own accord and wishes the franchise the best. While this could be an effort to save face and put out the fires of headlines that read “Megan Fox Kicked Off Movie”, it’s easy to believe that with the animosity between them, she would save herself the trouble of working with Michael Bay again.
Now why would an actress who has already overstayed her 15 minutes of fame give up on the biggest franchise she was ever involved with?
Was it her blooming career outside of Transformers? She has that one coming up where she plays an Angel that is the object of Mickey Rourke’s affections, and I really don’t anticipate a sequel to Jennifer’s Body. Its not like she’s taking off here.
But she could modestly slink away from the limelight with her existing money bags in tow and live a modest and very comfortable life from this point out with little to no effort.
She already said she didn’t enjoy working with Bay (in harsher terms) so perhaps she just didn’t want to bother again.
