Di Bonaventura on Megan Fox’s Transformers Departure



ComingSoon.Net caught up with producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura and got the inside on Megan’s departure from the Transformers franchise. As you all know, the script for the movie was all set for Transformers 3 when reports of Megan being fired and/or her leaving on her own came out. Di Bonaventure tells ComingSoon:

It’s one of those things that built to a pressure point. I think she knew and we did, I think we all tried really hard to make it work together, it just wasn’t working.

His response when asked about how Megan’s departure affected the production:

Definitely some script chances for sure. I wouldn’t say a tremendous number, but yeah, absolutely there were some changes, and I think as we’re going along, we’re discovering new ones we have to make as a result of them.

He also goes on to saying that he thinks Transformers 3 will most likely be the last installment, at least for him and director Michael Bay. But that doesn’t mean Paramount won’t reboot the series with new talent down the line.

It may not be the end of the line of Transformers for Hasbro and Paramount, but I would think so. (For) Michael, I’m sure it is. He’s spent a lot of years working on one thing.
