Shoot For The Edit Site Update - Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Officially Confirmed and Filming in LA

This is it. Michael Bay's official website; Shoot For The Edit welcomed Rosie Huntington-Whiteley to the Transformers Franchise. With it, We are now fully confirmed about Miss Rosie's involvement in Transformers 3.

The site also talked about filming Transformers 3 in LA. This is what the news update read...

"Nelson here...

I would like for all you S4TE fans to welcome Rosie Huntington Whitely to the world of Transformers. As some of you might know, she's the new female lead in Transformers 3. She's worked with Michael before in his Victoria's Secret "A Thousand Fantasies" ad.

Director and executive producer Michael Bay has begun filming the third installment in the "Transformers" franchise in Los Angeles, where the production economy has been buffeted by the loss of such big studio features to other cities offering more generous film tax incentives.

The DreamWorks/Paramount Pictures production has been shooting on a sound stage at the former Spruce Goose Howard Hughes hangar at Playa Vista and will film exterior shots throughout the L.A. area over the next several weeks, including Long Beach, West Hollywood, Century City and Malibu.The first two "Transformers" movies were also shot heavily in Southern California, filming numerous scenes downtown and at Edwards Air Force Base in the Mojave Desert.

"Mike, [producer] Lorenzo [di Bonaventura] and I are all big fans of trying to keep as much of our production in L.A. as possible," said Bay's producing partner, Ian Bryce. "It's a big movie. All our stage work is being done here."

In all, six weeks of the 4 1/2 months of shooting will occur in the L.A. area, with the rest of the filming spread across Chicago, Detroit, Washington and Cape Canaveral, Fla., and a few foreign locales, including Russia and an undisclosed African country, Bryce said.

Bryce said the science-fiction action movie starring Shia LaBeouf, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Patrick Dempsey required more diverse locations than L.A. could offer, and also cited the advantages of "very attractive rebates" offered in Michigan and Illinois, which will also host the production for six weeks.

The picture, with an estimated production budget of at least $200 million and a local crew of nearly 500, would not qualify for California's new film incentive program, which is limited to movies with budgets of up to $75 million."

F***, just when I thought this is all a rumor. Boo...

Oh well, but I'm definitely interested to see whereabouts in Detroit they'll be filming at.

Sigh. Here we go again. Another eye candy/bimbo replacing the previous eye candy/bimbo. When am I getting my TRANSFORMERS?!
Oh forget it. I'm waiting for Transformers Prime.

Russia and Africa should be interesting. I also look forward to seeing what they do in Detroit. (I still say they should buy up a few of those $1 crack-houses and blow them up for real.)

Ugh, this chick is SO ugly. I normally don't care about what the humans look like, but she is just SUCH a step down from Fox.

Because the Transformers are CGI, expensive, and take time to make for the movie. Plus, that all happens AFTER filming.

oh noes!!! logic on a TF board!

*internet esplodes*
j.a.f.o.
I shall be ratcheting my expectations way WAY down yet again.

(Always better to leave pleasantly surprised than utterly disappointed.)

Is it just me or does she look a lot like Isabel Lucas from ROTF?

Ugh, Do They Have To Remind Us That Walking ToothPick Will Be The Leading Woman? UGH!!

OH well.. let the games begin!
DecepticonsRule
Hmm.... well, I'm kind of disappointed that Megan won't be returning for TF3 after all. Hopefully Rosie Huntington-Whiteley can act well, because I'm going to be seriously pissed off if she was only cast for her face.
I'm kinda interested to see whether or not she will be replacing Megan Fox in the role of Mikeala, or whether she will be a completely new love interest.

Either way, my expectations for TF3 have gone down.

Bay should put her on an all cheeseburgers diet.

We'll just have to wait and see how this new chick does. Frankly, I think it would make more sense to just dye her hair and say "now you're Mikaela" rather than rewrite the script.

While i still believe they should have hired an actual actress, i wont hold it against her. Shes pretty and this is a big time gig for her so its kinda expected that she would just jump at the chance. Its just a shame they have to rewrite the script at this point as well.

her face isn't all that great, I'll admit that much, but her body is smmooking you have to admit that. Although I wished she was a little larger in the rack area.

hope her acting skills make up for it

I'll go with assumption atm because looking back on old threads in various places there is no official word of a rewrite but its been discussed (rumored?) that she had to be written in. Now it would be nice if this was written into the script to begin with, but the fact that Megan was seen (and photo'd) on location seems to indicate that she was still in the script at that point.
RiahRiddle
Hahahaha! You mean...my post was correct. You know, the one I posted about earlier today with this exact info inside the post. Wow. Imagine that. ;P

Megan has poor acting skills, but seemed to have some dignity. Rosie's experience in front of a camera is wearing angel wings, or some other get-up, with nothing else but lingerie, while strutting herself down a runway or posing in a photo-shoot. If her dignity is shot, she will be easy for Bay to work with. But she will have no effect on the outcome of the film.

I was going to say "in before 'misinformation campaign'" but I see I'm already too late. Never over-estimate this fandom, I say.

Excuse me? You're deliberately calling me out in a thread I didn't post in just to prove to me that I was wrong? Because I was clearly a snobbish, close-minded jerk in saying my own opinion, which according to you I wasn't entitled to.

I never bashed you at all. I was perfectly civil in going about this. But you have the nerve to send me a PM to make sure I would notice your victory? That's even more mature than your normal-sized text posts /sarcasm

PS- And you "clearly" noted before that you an "insider source".

I'd say she's lacking quite a lot of that!

I just hope she doesn't disappoint. If she can act better than megan in her own film then it'll be great for everyone

I hope she has good acting skills. So crossing fingers.


Has anybody read the article in Hollywoodlife? Is this true?

EXCLUSIVE! How Rosie Huntington-Whitely REALLY Scored Her ?Transformers 3? Role & How She Can Avoid Repeating Megan?s Mistakes! Hollywood Life

That's kind of a weird audition, IMO.

If true, very funny and I think I'm starting to like Rosie. She may be smarter than what the fandom is expecting.

i read that and i was actually thinking of posting it in the news forum... but it seems like tabloid gossip and cannot be backed up by reliable sources. it's the same kind of gossip without any basis to the level of michael bay hiring megan fox after making her wash his ferrari in a bikini. it looks a lot like the writer of that article just based all of his/her information on stuff we haven't already not known before and then just laced it with his/her own creative imagination.

Very few directors can change a nobody to somebody.

Michael Bay isn't one of them.

Wasn't Megan Fox kinda a nobody before Transformers?

I mean, she certainly wasn't the name she is now.

But... doesn't Megan Fox's massive boost in popularity after TF1 serve as blatant proof of the contrary???
