The announcement arrived with conflicting reports, with every party shifting blame and responsibility for the decision. Spielberg, however, denied any involvement in the actor losing out on her role.
The remarks and controversy surrounding them painted Fox badly, and she retreated from the spotlight. The celebrity has since worked on regaining her lost glory with appearances in various hit movies since Transformers.
Produced by Digital Editors Twitter. Megan Fox character was given a vague send-off. He said that Fox liked getting a rise out of people, and always did so in the wrong way.
Bay defended himself, stating that he simply required his actors to show up on time and occasionally work long days on set. After being fired, Fox became something of a pariah in Hollywood for a period of time.
In the Cosmopolitan interview, Fox shared her regret for her behavior, saying it was the lowest point of her career. She was young — just 23 — and believed her actions were righteous. But looking back, she says that it was a massive learning experience that set her career on a completely different trajectory than the one she was previously on. Instead of becoming the A-Lister many thought she would be, Fox settled into a more laid-back career. But if the incident with Bay had never happened, it's possible Fox would've landed more leading roles in films and television shows.
Megan Fox's experience just scratches the surface of the dark elements of working in Hollywood — one mistake and an actor can be cast out. In the original film, Sam Witwicky Shia LaBeouf is our human protagonist, a dork with no romantic prospects who gets embroiled in the drama via his new car, a yellow Camaro-cum-Autobot named Bumblebee.
The second film, Revenge of the Fallen , was already faltering when the writing team opted to give Mikaela less to do. The premise is admittedly pretty cool and arguably has more narrative potential than the first two outings: What if the creation of NASA and the Moon landing were all a cover for the U. Fun plot points aside, the soul of the franchise is gone before the film even starts; Mikaela is gone.
The response was swift and mean. As ugly and public as the whole affair was, it was a fittingly cruel turning point on the road to stripping Transformers of its humanity by way of removing Megan Fox. With Dark of the Moon , the Transformers franchise committed to ignoring the human core of any good movie about giant robots or monsters wreaking havoc on little old us.
Kong earlier this year. Titans may not care about our fates as they lord over our world with impunity, but we puny humans sure do! Skull Island is a riff on Apocalypse Now , refiguring the colonial roots of Kong as an allegory for and extension of the Vietnam War. We follow scientists travelling to a mythical island.
Their escort is mostly made up of American G. Lots of it. By providing the perspectives of men already used to following unconscionable orders in an unjust war, finally ready to return to normalcy, the film is a surprisingly effective portrait of humanity at its best and worst.
