Maybe Michael Bay isn’t the bad guy after all. According to ABC News, new information has surfaced about the real reason why Megan Fox was fired from Transformers. Apparently, Steven Spielberg (an executive producer of Transformers: Dark Side of the Moon) was outraged when Megan compared Michael Bay to Hitler.
Megan, 25, said that she quit the film, while director Michael Bay said she was fired. Earlier this month, Megan’s co-star Shia LaBeouf said Megan couldn’t handle Bay’s “sexy” style of filmmaking. (He also told GQ, “She started s*** talking our captain. Which you can’t do.”) But now reports quote Michael as saying, “You know the Hitler thing. Steven (Spielberg) said, fire her right now.”
“The Hitler thing” refers to an interview Megan gave to London’s Wonderland Magazine before filming began on the third installment. “[Bay] wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is,” she said. “So he’s a nightmare to work for but when you get him away from set, and he’s not in director mode, I kind of really enjoy his personality because he’s so awkward, so hopelessly awkward.”
What do you think really went down? I’m starting to wonder if all this drama is just to get us to go see the next movie. Not gonna happen!
