Starting with Deadline, news has traveled quickly that the main attraction, Megan Fox, will NOT return to the third installment of Transformers.
UPDATE: From PEOPLE...
“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.”
It was "ultimately" director Michael Bay's decision. Right now Bay and writer Ehren Kruger et al are finishing up the script for the threequel and "giving Shia a new love interest makes more sense for the story," an insider tells me. Bay will start casting immediately for the new female co-star.
Obviously this could be Bay's revenge on Fox's remark of comparing him to "Hitler". And A shocker to the world and Deadline, bring up a warning from Bay to Megan Fox of the things involving the third film.
DCMF: Oddly, I just saw TROTF for the first time the other day, and I was really happy with the way it turned out, unlike a lot of other people. And I liked Megan's performances, and thought she really brought the sex appeal. This really saddens me, but thats the way the cookie crumbles when you open your mouth...or something like.
