Transformers' Fox Kicks Butt
Megan Fox, who co-stars with Shia LaBeouf in Michael Bay's upcoming Transformers movie, told SCI FI Wire that she was glad her character knew cars and got to kick butt. "Both of the female characters in the movie were very strong characters," Fox told reporters in Beverly Hills, Calif. "Rachael [Taylor]'s character's very intelligent, and I felt that they were representing women very well."
Fox plays the high-school crush of LaBeouf's Sam Witwicky, a popular girl with a secret past who finds herself caught up with Sam in an epic battle between giant robots on Earth. Fox got to do a lot of her own stunts, which had its costs.
"I lost my two big toenails at one point," Fox said. "Not to, like, a specific accident. It was just the constant running in the wardrobe boots, which rubbed my toenails off."
One big challenge was acting opposite giant robots that weren't there but would be added in post-production as computer animation. "All of the robots were represented by window-washing poles," Fox said. "And they were all height-appropriate to each character. ... We were looking in the right direction. And sometimes they had attached ... I never had a tennis ball, but ... [Industrial Light & Magic] has these red glowing ... balls. They would attach them to the top, and that's the face. And the rest you sort of create [in your imagination], and we have to create together, because we have to move at the same time, like we get approached by the same thing, so it was difficult."
