Paramount Pictures reportedly decided not to pick up her option as the studio and director Michael Bay want to take the story line in another direction and plan to cast another actress as the love interest for Sam Witwicky, played by Shia LaBeouf.
The trade says the decision "was unrelated to a September interview with a British magazine in which Fox compared Bay with Adolf Hitler."
After the news hit, TheWrap posted an interesting bit of information:
Prince of Persia star Gemma Arterton is the front-runner to replace Megan Fox in Transformers 3, TheWrap has learned.
An individual close to the casting process says the actress has already had discussions with Bay about the coveted role. Other possible replacements for Fox include models Bar Rafaeli, Miranda Kerr and Brooklyn Decker.
The third installment is scheduled to hit theaters on July 1st, 2011.
