While she has a wealth of modelling experience including some past work with Michael Bay this will be her first major acting role. It's so far unclear whether she will be playing Mikaela or a new character.

BWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Well if the rumours that she showed up for her audition in see-through lingerie are true, she's probably not in it for her acting.

And in my opinion in the second movie the very bad thing was the script.
It is stupid to not confirm her just because she is quite thin and not tanned in this period.
She is in any case a nice girl and, above all, she is Mikaela Banes.
If they want to put a relevant female character in the third movie they would respect movie continuity and go on with Mikaela/Megan!
I hope Rosie Huntington-Whiteley will not play Mikaela Banes.
In that case, I'll forgive Bay and Habro/Paramount only if they will give us a huge Human Alliance Grindor toy with pretender Alice.

Only if she either has a natural acting ability or really good acting teachers.

Then she'll quit, complaining that Bay isn't treating her with any kind of respect.

I agree w. U. I'm going to the films exclusevily for the robots... I also would say more transformation scenes... they were so few in the second movie, and more robot dialogue, I mean, the movie is called Transformers, not a sort of people who have met them.

If they really want to get rid of Megan than i hope this girl is playing someone different. I really dislike changing actors and keeping the chars the same, doesn't work well for me.

You know what would be awesome!? If Mojo was a pretender dog, sent to kill Sam because The Fallen already knew about him!

Also, I think it's funny how everyone kind of assumes she'll be Mikaela or Carly.
They could just invent someone new.

Yeah... Fox leaves and Huntington joins the cast... just a cameo..

Unfortunately it is written that she is a female LEAD. You don't get a cameo from a leading actor.
I also don't like the choice but let's give her a chance maybe she will fit in the story and maybe Bay knows how to shoot her to look good.

At one time, it made sense to put an actor or actress in a film if they were just eye candy since every little bit helps sell the movie.
But nowadays there's no point in paying twenty bucks to go to a movie just to gawk at an actress when she's wearing less on magazines and online. Espcially when you want to stab your eyes out every time she tries to actually "act".
I don't get why actors like this get priority over something I would pay to see a movie for (hint: big robots fighting, maybe a story about them and not their teenage human buddies).

Yeah I agree. I mean why find someone identical as megan anyway? Just give him a new girlfriend and make it like they didn't hit it off or something and just get to telling the story about the transformers. I mean..I don't think human characters are as important really considering its really all about the robots.SEXFIGHTER wrote:she looks just like Fox so i reckon it's gonna be the same crappy role her predecessor had.

No! Dont give Sam a girlfriend! Kill off Makayla in the first 10 minutes and have nothing but giant robot fights afterwards! If you want a damn love story, there are 3 ROBOT couples waiting for that role! Optimus and Ileta 1, Ironhida and Chromia, Arcee and some other random Autobot (perferably Sideswipe) just leave the human love story out of it and give us what we payed for! A f*king 3 hour movie with nothing but big ass cool looking robots making even bigger ass cooler looking explosions! Who's with me!?

No. We can't. Nearly every generation of TF has involved humans in some shape or form, so it isn't going to stop now. Would we all like to have nothing but ronbots fighting, and talking for 2.5 hours... Sure. But thats not a reality. The quicker everyone just accepts this, the sooner we can all enjoy the franchise for what it is.

Like i said above, humans have always had some kind of role in TF. I think the only en of TF that didn't envole any humans was Beast Wars. Humans have, and always will have thier place in the TF universe. This is fact people. Part of the TF story line is how they interact with humans. Remember, their on earth. Not Cybertron.

I ussualy agree with you on most things, but i don't think i'm going to see eye, to eye with you on this. a robot love story would be an epic fail as it has "cheeze" writen all over it. It would also give critics and the media fuel to the fire to bash this movie even harder the ROTF.
Another key note that many seem to forget,....
These movies were not made soley for us. Their catered to the general public with a little lean towards the fandom. Love stories, human characters, all this is needed to get the general public involved. Thats how the franchise makes money. Heck, we wouldn't even be having a discussion right now if it weren't for the success of the first two movies.
Posted by 5150 Cruiser on June 4th, 2010 @ 3:53pm CDT
Since this is her first major acting role, she's probbly only getting paid a quarter of what fox would have gotten had she been the leading lady. So the extra funds could go to more robot scenes. Just a thought...

We can guess how she got the 'job' .

1) She replaces Fox as Mikaela. No real irritation on my part.
2) Mikaela is 'written out' and "Carly" (or whoever) is played by Rosie. Here's the irritation. They've spent two movies building up the 'love connection' between Sam and Mikaela. So now if they dump that character, not only do we have to devote valuable screen time to their breakup, we also have to sit through a new 'love connection'. All of this equals LESS GIANT ROBOTS. Plus, it cheapens the relationship building that Sam and Mikaela have gone through in the past two films. Didn't she say "who else could be your girlfriend?" They have been through some serious crap together and it would be dumb to have to scrap that and start over with a new character just because Megan Fox is an idiot.
Anyway, that's my two cents.

As much as I hate when characters get recast in sequels, I think it's the better option here. After everything they've been through together it would be really weird is Sam suddenly had another girlfriend out of nowhere.

Hum,
1. Her profound knowledge of the Transformers mythos and study into the characters?
2. Her profound ability to bring a high class atmosphere in her acting to any given scene?
3. Her profound love for hard candy?
Tough choices. I say we just make all of them pretenders and square off this mystery of why hot school girls and Victoria secret models continue to flock to Shia "Eyebrows" LeBouf.
Just sayin, now I'm in the mood for some hard candy...weird

Or hey, why not appeal to the young women intellectuals out there, throw on a pair of broad frammed spectacles and we can call her Dr. Harding.
Bay's been known to dig up all sorts of TF mythos, why stop with just a Carly or a Mikahea v 2.
My love of giant robots and explosions will over ride any common sense I have in saving my $15.50, of course, if it sucks royally I'll be all over the net complaining about it as soon I switch on my computer after it screens.
I really hope ROTF was sh1t on purpose so we all are pleasantly delighted with the 3rd one.
