M Bay Talks ROTF and slams Megan Fox

[Soundwave]

In an interview done by LAUREN A. E. SCHUKER on TheWallStreetJournal.com, Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Director Michael Bay talked about the making of Transformers ROTF, adjusting the robot to human ratio and how his movie makes actors Hollywood stars.

Here's an excerpt:

It;rsquo;s interesting that you want to focus on acting. Megan Fox, one of the leads in ;ldquo;Transformers;rdquo; has criticized your films for being special-effects-driven and not offering so many acting opportunities. Do you agree?

Well, that;rsquo;s Megan Fox for you. She says some very ridiculous things because she;rsquo;s 23 years old and she still has a lot of growing to do. You roll your eyes when you see statements like that and think, ;ldquo;Okay Megan, you can do whatever you want. I got it.;rdquo; But I 100% disagree with her. Nick Cage wasn;rsquo;t a big actor when I cast him, nor was Ben Affleck before I put him in ;ldquo;Armageddon.;rdquo; Shia LaBeouf wasn;rsquo;t a big movie star before he did ;ldquo;Transformers;rdquo;;mdash;and then he exploded. Not to mention Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, from ;ldquo;Bad Boys.;rdquo; Nobody in the world knew about Megan Fox until I found her and put her in ;ldquo;Transformers.;rdquo; I like to think that I;rsquo;ve had some luck in building actors;rsquo; careers with my films.
