Michael Bay vs. Megan Fox in War of Words

5 July 2009 2:00 PM, PDT | From newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news

My favorite thing about Megan Fox isn’t that she’s undeniably beautiful.  It’s her willingness to say just about anything to comes to mind.  She spouts consistently crazy things to the press and credits her big mouth for making her an even bigger star.  At one point Fox claimed she was Zac Efron in drag and that High School Musical was about molestation…

So she’s outrageous, but this time her brash attitude has her in hot water with Transformers director Michael Bay.  In an interview with Entertainment Weekly following the release of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Fox said what we’ve all been thinking.

“The humans are secondary to the robots because it’s a movie about robots… People are well aware that this is not a movie about acting. And once you realize that, it becomes almost fun because you can be in the moment and go,

Megan Hangs With Brian While Michael Bay Keeps His Distance

5 July 2009 10:00 AM, PDT | From Popsugar.com | See recent Popsugar news

Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green went on a coffee run together earlier this week. Transformers 2 has been been kicking butt at the box office, but director Michael Bay isn't exactly thrilled with Megan right now. Bay doesn't agree with Megan's assessment that his films "aren't about acting" and shot back by saying that the film's star "says some ridiculous things." Megan has a bit of trouble keeping her mouth shut, but maybe next time she'll be more discrete before offending the directors that are making her a big star. View 2 Photos ›

Box Office Beat Down: Ice Age 3 and Transformers 2 Tie for First Place with $42.5 Million

5 July 2009 9:51 AM, PDT | From MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news

Weekend Box Office

1) Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs $42.5 million

2) Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen $42.5 million

8) The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 $2.5 million

9) Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian $2.1 million

10) Year One $2.1 million

It was the squirrel versus the giant robot this holiday weekend as both Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen went head to head, tying for first place with $42.5 million apiece. The 20th Century Fox animated Ice Age reteamed Ray Romano, Dennis Leary, John Leguizamo, and Queen Latifah for their third adventure together, and the film was a hit with audiences. Despite it's standing at the top of the weekend charts, the film failed to bring in the same opening weekend grosses as its two predecessors. The original Ice Age earned $68 million when it opened in March

Transformers 2 Narrowly Edges Ice Age 3 at Friday Box Office

5 July 2009 5:32 AM, PDT | From TheHDRoom | See recent TheHDRoom news

Early Friday estimates give Michael Bay's Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen another narrow win over its main competition through the July 4th extended weekend, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs. Transformers 2 behind stars Shia Labeouf and Megan Fox added $17.8 million on Friday to push its domestic total to $268.7 million, enough to surpass Disney and Pixar's Up for the top grossing film of the year. Barring a major setback today from July 4th festivities, Revenge of the Fallen will complete its revenge on critics by crossing the $300 million barrier when the weekend wraps on Sunday. Ice Age 3 performed strong Friday as well with an estimated $17 million in returns. That brings its total box office gross to $41.9 million with a shot at reaching $70 million when the weekend numbers are totaled. Michael Mann's Public Enemies brought in $10.1 million Friday pushing its total to $25 million. $40 million through the weekend is

Casual Sundays: Selena Gomez's Look for Less

5 July 2009 5:30 AM, PDT | From E! Online | See recent E! Online news

If Selena Gomez wants to quit her day job—and her unofficial matchmaking career—she could easily be a full-time fashionista. The Disney star was the epitome of casual chic during a recent appearance on Live with Regis and Kelly. Most 16-year-olds we know don't dress this sophisticated, but Selena does have a thing for older men. Her mature look screams, "Hey Shia Labeouf, I may be a teenager, but I'm, like, way classier than Megan Fox." And this is just the thing to wear on Sunday date night. Here's how to get it for less. Forever 21's Brenda elastic bracelet ($7.80) has similar scales as Selena's Stephen Webster cuff (hidden under her jacket). And it's more tasteful than...

Stuntgirl Megan Fox likes the action

4 July 2009 10:00 PM, PDT | From Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news

Megan Fox shocked movie bosses with how tough she is. The 23-year-old actress did a lot of her own stunts on latest film 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen' and producers couldn't believe how much pain she could take. She is quoted as saying: "I prefer to do as many stunts as possible. I'll do as many as my insurance will allow me to do. On 'Transformers' I did about 40 per cent of my own stunts but on the next movie I did all of them. People are constantly shocked at the beatings I can take. It's because once you have done 'Transformers' you feel like you can do anything. It's easy after going through that." Megan recently

Are Megan Fox and Michael Bay fighting it out?

4 July 2009 4:06 PM, PDT | From Corona's Coming Attractions | See recent Corona's Coming Attractions news

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen may be filling theaters with explosions and sonic booms but there's a war of words happening off-screen between star Megan Fox and director Michael Bay. It all began when Fox opened her mouth and talked about the differences between working on a Bay film versus one of the other handful of shows she's done.

"Unless you’re a seasoned veteran, working with Michael Bay is not about an acting experience," Fox told Entertainment Weekly. But the 23-year-old wasn't entirely ungrateful, adding that starring in the first Transformers "did give me a career and open all these doors for me. But I don’t want to blow smoke ... People are well aware that this is not a movie about acting."

When the Wall Street Journal asked Michae Bay what he thought of Megan's comments, the director decided to unleash some of his own CG verbage. "Well,

Michael Bay Trashes Megan Fox for Comments

4 July 2009 4:00 PM, PDT | From WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news

Megan Fox recently appeared on The Early Show, where she said that "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" is very confusing and would be surprised if anyone could understand it. "I'm in the movie and I read the script and I watched the movie and I still didn't know what was happening," she said. "If you haven't read the script and you go and you see it and you understand it, you may be a genius. This is a movie for geniuses." Now, Wall Street Journal had the chance to speak to director Michael Bay and asked him what he thought of Fox's comments about "Transformers 2" and her previously comments about how his films are special-effects-driven and don't offer many acting opportunities. "Well, that's Megan Fox for you," said Bay. "She says some very ridiculous things because she's 23 years old and she still has a lot of growing to do.

Transformers vs Megan Fox: The franchise starts to rust

4 July 2009 9:31 AM, PDT | From The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news

The new Transformers movie contains more metal than many a junkyard - and most critics have been left wishing that's where the franchise ends up.

For the press reviewers, the movie was a mind-numbing mayhem of metal machines and wooden actors, with the humans just as robotic as any of the CGI creations clanking across the screen.

Much of the critics' withering abuse was levelled at Hollywood hottie Megan Fox.

She has claimed that director Michael Bay failed to make full use of her acting skills - and he has hit back by saying she is being ridiculous.

A third movie is planned but with Bay also saying he needs a break, is the rust starting to appear on the Transformers franchise?

As I reported earlier, the critics particularly blasted the acting, with the Mirror saying: "As far as acting goes, Labeouf is reliably dreadful, while Fox wears little more

Oscar Watch: Megan Fox for Best Actress?

4 July 2009 7:35 AM, PDT | From E! Online | See recent E! Online news

Now that the Oscars has expanded its Best Picture field to 10 films, things are going to get Cocoa Puffs crazy: The Hangover and Paul Blart for Best Picture; Transformers' Megan Fox for Best Actress. Er, right…? Wrong, say the Vegas oddsmaker, the Industry exec and the film professor we touched base with regarding the Academy's new big-tent policy. "The notion of an Academy Award movie isn't going to be changed," Christine Birch, president of marketing for DreamWorks said. Here's what that means to the Class of 2009's hopefuls: • The Hangover has "no shot." This, per Johnny Avello, Vegas' go-to-man for Oscar odds. (His...

Will Megan Fox Feud With Michael Bay Mean No Transformers 3?

3 July 2009 11:47 PM, PDT | From ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news

As you no doubt already know, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is currently playing in theaters everywhere and making insane amounts of money. In fact, you’ve probably already seen it twice considering how much money this thing has made in its opening week.

As of now, it’s made over a half-billion dollars worldwide in just over a week and expected to net plenty more over the weekend - that means we are absolutely guaranteed a third installment to round off the trilogy.

No matter what anyone says, or what rumors you may hear about Michael Bay, Transformers 3 will be made. It’s a guarantee.

 

For the next installment, what we do know is that Bay is taking a break from the franchise to work on a little more serious and a much smaller project. He’s spent the last three years working strictly on bringing the Cybertronian

Lol: Megan Fox vs Michael Bay

3 July 2009 3:58 PM, PDT | From /Film | See recent /Film news

Regardless of her acting talent, which frankly has yet to be proven (look to Jennifer's Body for that) you've got to love Megan Fox. On screen some comes across like the ultimate fembot, glammed- and dolled-up almost beyond the point of humanity. She's a pouting, posing, running machine, especially in the hands of Michael Bay. But in interviews she's reliably awesome, because she evidently thinks she's hot enough to say any damn thing in the world. And, for right now, that might be true. Cue a bunch of slightly trash-talking comments about Bay and Transformers 2, which has led to a head-shaking, condescending response from Bay. What better way to start the weekend? Earlier this month Fox dropped the first Bay bomb, when she said that of her acting ability, we'd only seen "seven percent. On the new one [Transformers 2], I tried. But unless you're a seasoned veteran, working with ...

Transformer’s Michael Bay Says Megan Fox Needs To Grow Up

3 July 2009 10:43 AM, PDT | From OnTheFlix | See recent OnTheFlix news

In recent reports, Megan Fox has been talking about the lack of acting she gets to do in Michael Bay's "Transformers : Revenge of The Fallen" movies. However, in an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Michael Bay says that she's being ridiculous. He stated, “That’s Megan Fox for you. She says some very ridiculous things because she’s 23 years old and she still has a lot of growing to do. You roll your eyes when you see statements like that and think, ‘Okay Megan, you can do whatever you want. I got it.’ But I 100 percent disagree with her.” He went on to give some examples of careers that have blown up from starring in his movies like "Armageddon" and "The Rock."

Ramon Rodriguez to have a bigger role in third Transformers?

3 July 2009 10:27 AM, PDT | From The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news

How many of you simply loved Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen? Ok, and how much of you loved Sam Witwicky’s roommate, Leonardo Ponce de Leon Spitz? Well, if you answered “more than meets the eye!” to either of those, I’ve got great news. News that is way better than the idea of watching a robot hump Megan Fox’s leg.

Recently, while talking to the Los Angeles Times, action-movie visionary Michael Bay hinted that the character played by Ramon Rodriguez might have an even bigger role in the third Transformers film, if the threequel “plays out like he expects.” However, that’s where the details ended, as Bay then went on to praise the actor.

“We went looking for a sidekick for this movie, Shia’s sidekick, and we find this new kid who really pops on the screen. I think he’s going to have a real bright career.

Michael Bay Trashes Megan Fox, Talks 'Transformers 3' and 3D

3 July 2009 10:02 AM, PDT | From Cinematical.com | See recent Cinematical news

Seems like a small war is starting to brew between Michael Bay and Megan Fox, after the latter said some unflattering things about Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, telling the Early Show recently that she still doesn't understand the movie and that it's apparently made for geniuses. Bay, of course, is not one to take criticism lightly -- especially from some girl who was nobody until he dropped her into the first Transformers movie.

Speaking to The Wall Street Journal about the situation with Fox, he says, "Well, that's Megan Fox for you. She says some very ridiculous things because she's 23 years old and she still has a lot of growing to do. You roll your eyes when you see statements like that and think, "Okay Megan, you can do whatever you want. I got it." But I 100% disagree with her. Nick Cage wasn't a big actor when I cast him,

Michael Bay's whiny 'Transformer' stars Fox and Labeouf

3 July 2009 9:21 AM, PDT | From Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news

It used to be that great, glamorous stars, like Cary Grant, came out in films and were snapped going to premieres. They never granted many interviews to the press, as they were whisked into private parties, letting their publicists pick and choose where the sound bites landed. Now, actors in big films, like Megan Fox, who was an unknown before director Michael Bay got hold of her, talk and talk, and sadly, keep talking. There's a portion of the male audience truly fascinated by Fox on a purely superficial level of looks, but Michael Bay, the "Transformers" franchise director, has had about enough of her incessant rambling. Michael Bay reacted to Fox's "Entertainment Weekly" interview. "She says some

Michael Bay slams 'ridiculous' Megan Fox

3 July 2009 2:24 AM, PDT | From Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news

Megan Fox needs to grow up, says her 'Transformers' director. The 23-year-old actress recently slammed Michael Bay for focusing more on special effects than acting in the 2007 blockbuster but Michael says her comments are "ridiculous" and should be ignored. Michael - who recast Megan in this summer's sequel 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen' - said: "Well, that's Megan Fox for you. She says some very ridiculous things because she's 23 years old and she still has a lot of growing to do. "You roll your eyes when you see statements like that and think, 'Ok Megan, you can do whatever you want. I got it.' " Michael thinks Megan should also show more gratitude towards him for
