Megan Fox not returning for TRANSFORMERS 3

In a surprising move this week, it has been announced that actress Megan Fox will not be returning for “Transformers 3”. Fox, who starred alongside Shia LaBeouf as his love interest in the first two movies, was said to have a bad relationship with director Michael Bay.

Before the release of last summer’s second installment in the series, “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen“, Fox and Bay had a heated exchange with the actress comparing her director to Hitler. Bay responded by saying that Fox still had a lot of growing up to do. Despite their contentious moments, Fox and Bay were set to reunite with LaBeouf for the third movie which begins filming this week in Los Angeles. It was Bay’s executive decision to drop Fox from the new film, for her part Fox has said in a statement to “People Magazine” it was her choice not to return.

Paramount executives have backed the decision saying the time was right to give LaBeouf’s character, Sam, a new love interest.
