Announced today former Transformers costar Meagan Fox will not be returning in the 3rd film.  Sources at Paramount Pictures say that Shia Lebeouf’s character will be heading in a new direction where he does not need to be tied down by a love interest.  May sources claim that the decision came ultimately from director Michael Bay.  The two have had a rocky relationship in the past.  On the last film Meagan Fox compared the director to “Neapolitan“ and “Hitler.”  In response to her comments crew members of the film posted an open letter on the directors website calling her “thankless, classless, graceless” and “unfriendly.”  The letter was removed and Michael Bay released his own statement:

“I don’t condone the crew letter to Megan. And I don’t condone Megan’s outlandish quotes, but her crazy quips are part of her crazy charm. The fact of the matter I still love working with her, and I know we still get along. I even expect more crazy quotes from her on Transformers 3” – Michael Bay, michaelbay.com

Very interesting, with the drop of Meagan Fox and the Twins and Shia Lebeouf  confessing that last one sucked,it looks like this installment might be worth watching.

Transformers 3 is scheduled to hit theaters July 1, 2011
