BEIJING, May 20 (Xinhuanet)-- Megan Fox has been axed from "Transformers 3," which began shooting this week in Los Angeles, according to media reports on Thursday.
It was reported that the decision was "ultimately" director Michael Bay's as the actress last year likened franchise director Bay to Hitler and Napoleon during an interview, saying he was "a nightmare to work for."
Bay now plans to take the story "in another direction," according to insiders, and will cast a new love interest.
The third installment of the popcorn blockbuster has been amassing a higher level of actors, with John Malkovich, Frances McDormand and Patrick Dempsey being new additions.
