Megan Fox has been axed from " Transformers 3," Access Hollywood has confirmed.

A source at Paramount, the studio behind the film, told Access that Megan, who played star Shia LaBeouf 's love interest in the franchise, would not return for the third movie.

The source said that in order to take Shia's character - Samuel James Witwicky -- in a new direction, it was better if Sam wasn't tied down to a love interest.

A rep for Megan was not immediately available for comment when contacted by Access Hollywood on Wednesday.

Nikki Finke, who first reported the news for Deadline that Megan was out, claimed that decision was "ultimately" director Michael Bay 's.

Bay's rep was also not immediatley available for comment when contacted by Access.

The news of Megan's departure from the " Transformers 3" cast comes just months after a dispute emerged between Megan, unnamed " Transformers " crewmembers and even the director.

Megan compared her director to "Hitler" and "Napoleon" during an interview with Britain's Wonderland Magazine's September /October 2009 issue.

"He's like Napoleon and he wants to create this insane, infamous mad-man reputation," Megan said at the time.

"He wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is," she continued. "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."

Shortly thereafter, members of the " Transformers " crew posted an open letter on the director's site, condemning the actress for her behavior on set, calling Megan, "the grump of the set," as well as "thankless, classless, graceless" and "unfriendly."

The letter was quickly removed and Michael eventually addressed all the comments a short while later.

"I don't condone the crew letter to Megan. And I don't condone Megan's outlandish quotes," Bay wrote in a blog post on his official Web site. "But her crazy quips are part of her crazy charm. The fact of the matter I still love working with her, and I know we still get along. I even expect more crazy quotes from her on Transformers 3."

" Transformers 3" has reportedly already begun filming.

Ya...I'm not bothered.
Maybe we'll get a pretty girl who can actually act.

[Archer]

Meh... wouldn't make the movie more tolerable anyway.

[Red Paradox]

great!
all they need ta do now is give Michael Bay some further directing lessons and Transformers 3 should be ok and not a rehash of the atrocity also known as Revenge of the Fallen

Megan Fox ain't all that and she's the lousiest actress I've seen in the last few years. (yes I'm a hater and a Scarlett Johansson lover sue me b****es!!!!!!!!)

[UltimateGamer]

So what waz wrong with revenge of the fallen now? Transformers is a well entertaining flick, if it en tickle yuh fancy lifetime might have movies that may suite you better   

And iz about time they get rid of that chick. She iz most probably the lousiest actress of all time, not just the last few years.

**UPDATE BELOW! MEGAN RESPONDS!!**

Dear Megan,

I know it's been a long, hard road for you. The constant attention. The paparazzi falling at your feet, The millions and millions of men who think you're the biggest sex symbol to hit Hollywood since Marilyn Monroe. The fame, the riches, the money, the Brian Austin Green parked in your garage.

But eventually it had to come to an end.

You see Megan, when you talk smack about me, that's like messing with the United States of America. And nobody talks bad about the good ol US of A. I'm Americana through and through. My films are the embodiment of what the United States stands for. We're loud, big and we kick everyone's butt. (Vietnam doesn't count.)

So it's with a big giant smile and a hearty open palm faced slap on your flat ass that I kick your monkey face out the door and off of Transformers 3. Like Deadline reports, I'm done with you. Finished. Kaput. You wanna talk crap about me and call me Hitler? Fine. I'll act like Hitler and kill your career by not picking up your option for Transformers 3. That's right, no more fanboys. No more big premieres. No more awesome shooting locations around the world for you. You're done. I'm dumping you like you were yesterday's trash. Actually, trash gets picked up. After I'm through with you, nobody is going to want to go near you.

I hope you had a fun ride. Once Jonah Hex hits theaters you will no longer be relevent. I'm moving on. I can write in a new love life for Sam Witwicky. Won't be a problem. There are a million hot women in this town who can actually act and won't be a pain in my ass. I spoke with Shia about it before writing you this letter. He said, and I quote, "Thank God."

I wish you the best of luck when your career spirals into straight to dvd movies and you end up lonely and on drugs. See you on Celebrity Rehab in a few years. Tell Andy Dick I said hi.

Without an ounce of sincerity,

M. Bay

p.s. I hear Spearmint Rhino is always hiring.

**EXCLUSIVE LETTER REBUTTAL UPDATE!!**

Deer Mikkel,

You know whut? Screws you and the horse you rode in on. Who do you think u arr telling pepul you fired me? Nobudy fires me, I quit, you dumb ideot.

So go suck on a lollipop (omg, spelled it wright!) or whatever it is you dumb directors do behind closed doors. Pairofmount's did not fire me, and youz didn't fires me either. I QUITTED!!

And tell Shia to bite me. He totally has a small youknowwhat anywayz.

Without an ounce of cerealitity,

MEGaN

lolz this is just my opinion...when I first went to see Transformers in the summer of 2007 I remember my jaw dropping to the scene when the airbase was decimated by Blackout and if my friend was a mean punk he could have thrown popcorn in my mouth and choked me to death...that's to tell you how stoked I was with the first film...breathtaking...

When I went to see Revenge of the Fallen in the summer of 2009. I was armed with my popcorn, kit kat, nachos and a huge cup of Sprite and also big expectations...I was totally disarmed by the movie...the spark was gone. The colorful glamour introduced in the first film was long gone...those two stereotypical "black" robots...(I forgot their names...so I'll refer to them as the green fag and queer pink robots) pissed me off, the visual effects lacked in some areas (most noticeably the scene when the aircraft carrier was destroyed...I could have done a better job with my ATI 9600SE graphics card) the acting was poor as hell, the overuse of humor was overkill and not as subtle as Bay's earlier films (The Rock, Transformers, Bad Boys or Armageddon) and I got a headache watching it... irionically I didn't get a headache watching Cloverfield which should have been nauseating to watch....

The only three things (if any) I liked about Revenge of the Fallen was the fact that optimus didn't get his butt whupped flawlessly as depicted in the first, then the soundtrack was tight (Linkin Park, The USed, Hoobastank etc.) and I liked the "cameo appearance of the Cloverfield poster in the film lol

Other than that I hope the director learns from the error of his ways and not having Megan Fox is a big step....

I'm glad movies like Star Trek, District 9 and Up came along and washed that stink movie taste out of my mouth in the summer of 2009

[UltimateGamer]

^^ lolz u not easy son, men waz just kicksin' with yuh lol. But i guess i see where you are coming from especially with the aircraft carrier. I am a big fan of the humor in transformers (for some strange reason), but really MF was horrid as an actress in both movies. She seemed so awkward no, like she not comfortable in the role oh something. I mean, is the type of movie when you in a mood for some kicks and real action, you could just take in ... that is if you just finish watching bad boys 2.

Yep star trek waz superb, and that comes from and ANTI-TREKKIE! Chances are for part 3, go in expecting the typical mix of lots of comedy and lots of action. Remember ILM doesn't really have a long time to do what it does eh, and if you compare it to say the destruction scenes in 2012, I'd say they performing tremendously well.

[Red Paradox]

lol I was just kidding too man. I just used this an an Op to voice out my negative dispostion towards this sludge of a film...and hope that the director picks up the pieces for the third

Consider this in terms of visual effects...Transformers Revenge of the Fallen used a lot of money in effects.
They had a budget of 200 million dollars I think and they boasted to using terabytes worth of effects

Now look at District 9, their budget wasn't even half...it was about 30 mil and the visuals (and sound effects were very realistic. The skin textures and lighting on the aliens looked very very sharp and just flat out REAL lol

I guess it's all about hard work, talent and credibility because I realise alot of effects in movies from semi unknown companies are outshining ILM.
To bad they couldn't use some of the effects to put more shape on the bony Megan Fox
bleh...she is so overrated jed

wait wait wait....she MADE porn movies?
not that I want to look for them of course but I'm....curiously curious

[phoenix31tt]

ah yes.. finally :}

[New Era Outlaw]

Hm. To me, this is yet another sign that Transformers 3 is likely going to bomb. The first being that Michael Bay was dragged into making this, the second being that the original team of writers isn't returning either.

Needless to say, they're going to have to come pah-retty damn good to make this worthwhile.

London, May 26 (PTI) British model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is reportedly all set to replace Hollywood siren Megan Fox as the leading lady in the upcoming ''Transformers 3''. The 23-year-old British Victoria''s Secret model, has been offered the role in the sequel after Fox quit the franchise last week, The Sun reported online.

Director Michael Bay reportedly came to blows with the actress over her plummeting weight. "Her slender physique sparked concern and unhealthy Fox was ordered to put on weight," sources said.

"Megan Fox will not be starring in Transformers 3. It was her decision not to return," her spokesman had said.

If things go as planned Rosie, who has no acting credentials to date will star opposite Shia LaBeouf in the film and will follows in the footsteps of Bond girl Olga Kurylenko and Halle Berry, who also moved from the ramp to the big screen.
