Rumor: Lingerie Model Replacing Megan Fox in Transformers 3

A Victoria's Secret model is the rumored replacement for Megan Fox in the next Transformers movie.

On the last episode of Unattainable Women Tales we saw Megan Fox Geek Week [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/100792-Megan-Fox-Quits-Transformers-Movies] can be believed, her replacement will be a Victoria's Secret lingerie model with relatively little acting experience.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is the named model that may be taking the limelight from Fox as the chick that gets to make-out with Shia LaBeouf and act scared of giant robots in Transformers 3. Her list of previous acting roles is somewhat short aside from playing herself in a couple of reality shows, according to IMDB [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2492819/] anyway.

Even Megan Fox had a decent resume before director Michael Bay cast her in the first Collider [http://www.amazon.com/Transformers-Shia-Labeouf/dp/B000VR0570/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1276639175&sr=1-1]'s take is that Whiteley's casting makes perfect sense, as Bay loves to cast relative unknowns and catapult them to stardom.

Or, maybe Fox's character Mikaela Banes gets crushed by a giant robot heel in the opening seconds of Transformers 3, so Whiteley's acting chops won't matter at all as long as she can play dead. I hope this isn't the case, because Whiteley looks somewhat similar to Fox, but nicer. Maybe the entire planet won't hate her as much.

So they're getting a different actor to play the same character?

I hate when that happens.

 

[Davrel]

I know its a Michael Bay film...but couldn't they get somebody who can, yunno, act?

 

[rekabdarb]

well maybe the movie will be called

Transformers 3... not as much human shit.

But the possibility of that is minimal


edit: anyone else think she looks a little like katie holmes? or the idiot who didn't want to do dark knight (lulz)

 

[MiracleOfSound]

She probably can't act for shit, but at least she'll be nicer to look at than Megan Fox.

 

[Brainst0rm]

Aww, I wouldn't even compare her looks to Megan Fox - that girl just repulses me, but this is a very nice looking woman. Honestly wouldn't mind seeing her in Megan Fox's role either. I can roll with the studio being blunt about the fact that all she has to do is look pretty.

In the comments for the last news item I jokingly said they'd bring in Tia Tequila to play the part. That doesn't look like such a long shot now. Then again she could be awesome.

 

[Hiphophippo]

Doesn't really matter honestly. The other two were shit and this one will be shit. I grew up a GIANT transformer fan and I have yet to see the two Bay movies because I see no reason to pay money to let someone piss on my childhood.

Swapping a 'HURR' for a 'DURR'.

Sigh.

If the next film doesn't have a more favourable Robot Action: People Being Annoying ratio then I'm going to be extremely disappointed. Again.

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

So we can look forward to more script away from the ACTUAL BLOODY POINT OF THE FILM, YOU GODDAM HIPPIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

/facepalm extreme

Collider's take is that Whiteley's casting makes perfect sense, as Bay loves to cast relative unknowns and catapult them to stardom.

Since when? I mean, I suppose you could describe Fox herself that way, but seriously, anyone else?

As far as the movie goes, it's going to suck no matter who they put in it, because the script is going to be an[other] atrocity.

 

[Souplex]

IF they follow through it proves the character was nothing but cheap fanservice.

 

[znix]

Thank God. ANY other woman is an improvement over the horrible monster Fox.

As a bonus, this one actually looks attractive. She may surprise everyone and do a great job in her role, unlike the walking acting disaster that is megan fox.

 

[Danpascooch]

Of course they chose a lingerie model, the last thing they would want is to CAST AN ACTOR in that role!

 

[Jaebird]

I hope this isn't the case, because Whiteley looks somewhat similar to Fox, but nicer. Maybe the entire planet won't hate her as much.

Whiteley looks much more human to me, plus I find her to be cute. Fox strikes me a fish that's high on Quaaludes. If being the replacement for Fox turns out to be the case, then good luck to her, and I hope she can, you know, act.

 

[BlumiereBleck]

I can see that, won't be missing much with Fox gone...the tease...AHHHH!!!

 

[Dyp100]

She does have more of an innocent look, doesn't she?

Hopefully she can act, but I'm doubtful, not like I'll see the film anyway, but I feel sorry for Movie Bob. xD

 

[scnj]

So, they've replaced a generic 'hot' girl with another generic 'hot' girl who has even less acting experience? Why do I fucking bother hoping these movies could ever be anything short of disastrous?

 

[HT_Black]

Hey, here's an idea, Mike: drop the walking uncanny valley effects who can't act, lose the teenage drama crap, cut out the US army, and do what you're best at:

FILM GIANT CGI ROBOTS BEATING THE SHIT OUT OF EACH OTHER. IT'S WHAT YOU DO.

Seriously, if you just did that, the third film might actually be halfway decent, at least as far as explosive clip shows go. Anyone with me?
