Bay Killing Off Fox In TF3?

It seems like Michael Bay might get the last laugh in the war of words that has been going on between him and Megan Fox for the last several months. In Touch Weekly is reporting that Bay is considering killing off Fox’s character within the first few minutes of Transformers 3 so he can replace her with another beautiful young actress.

According to the “insider” that contacted the magazine, “Michael’s pretty much discovered Megan and now he’s very quietly looking for her replacement. He hasn’t decided if he’s going to kill her off in the next movie but he just wants to be prepared.”

Of course, last week, Bay announced on his website that he is targetting July 1, 2011 as the release date for Transformers 3. He also playfully added this message for the TF1 & 2 starlett:

Megan Fox, welcome back. I promise no alien robots will harm you in any way during the production of this motion picture. Please consult your Physician when working under my direction because some side effects can occur, such as mild dizziness, intense nausea, suicidal tendencies, depression, minor chest hair growth, random internal hemorrhaging and inability to sleep. As some directors may be hazardous to your health, please consult your Doctor to determine if this is right for you.

The latest rumour regarding Tranformers 3 comes on the heels of the summer of “Bay vs. Fox” which included:

- Fox saying Bay concentrated too much on special effects and not enough on acting in TF2.

- Bay said of Fox, “she still has a lot of growing to do. You roll your eyes when you see statements like that.”

- Fox claimed that Bay made her audition for Transformers by dressing up in a bikini and washing his Ferrari. Nice!

- Fox said Bay is like “Hitler on his sets“, “he’s a nightmare to work for“, “has no social skills at all” and “on set he’s a tyrant“.

- a lengthy letter written by some crew members from Transformers 2 made its way to the internet. The letter called Fox “about ungracious a person as you can every fathom” and said she “is a thankless, classless, graceless and shall we say unfriendly bitch.” Ouch.

In any case, I don’t see Fox getting killed off in Transformers 3. Maybe Transformers 4 but I’m going to say she will make it to the end of three and maybe Shia’s character will dump her before the next movie starts filming.

I do caution her, however, to start being very careful with what she says about Michael Bay and how she treats the crew on the set of TF3. Judging from the Jennifer’s Body box office, it looks like Ms. Fox might be getting too big for her britches. I would assume that the movie was expected to make much more than a $16 million worldwide box office by this point. Makes you wonder whether her name is strong enough to carry a movie. Mind you, I saw Jennifer’s Body and I actually thought it was fairly decent. It probably should have done a lot better than $16 million.

Nevertheless, I expect to see Megan make it from beginning to end in TF3. I would say that maybe she will have less lines than TF2 but I don’t think that’s possible. I would be surprised if she said 50 words the entire movie!
