Megan Fox not returning for Transformers 3
On Wednesday, Paramount Pictures said it declined to pick up Fox's contract for the third installment. The studio did not give a reason, but according to The Hollywood Reporter, director Michael Bay is planning to take the story in a different direction and will cast a new love interest for Shia LaBeouf.
The split comes a few months after Fox's alleged dispute with cast and crew members of the second film, who wrote an open letter on Bay's website condemning Fox's behavior on set.
