Model with no acting experience is the new Megan Fox

Model with no acting experience is the new Megan Fox
But will anyone notice?

After Megan Fox's unceremonious dumping of/from Transformers 3, rumours flooded the net about who would be next in line to play Shia LaBeouf's motorcycle-toting eye candy. But it seems people were looking in the wrong place - instead of guessing pretty actresses, they should have been suggesting talented models. And by 'talented', I mean 'pretty'.

And the part has apparently now been offered to Victoria's Secret model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, who has absolutely zero acting experience. How did this happen? We can only assume, out of all of the girls who auditioned for the part with Michael Bay, she made his Ferrari look the most clean.

Or maybe he came across her when making his Victoria's Secret adverts. Should I rephrase that?

Well, either way, she has about two weeks to prepare herself before starting principal photography on the second autobot sequel. Hint: don't expect Optimus Prime to go through your lines with you, Rosie. He's just a bastard like that.


At least we know she can do action

Some people watch movies like this as escapism - for two hours away from the relentless drudgery of responsibility and the recession and miserable fucking weather. In that respect, I understand why they get made, and why people go.

But there are popcorn movies, and then there are inexorable noise-fests like this. Sometimes I want to watch Lebanon or The Killer Inside Me or The Road, but sometimes I just want to kick back and watch a movie about fighting robots or Will Smith saving the world from aliens - it doesn't have to be big or clever, just... keep my attention.

But yeah, this is something else really.

Edit: In fact, they very fact that the director has cast a lingerie model with no acting experience as his female leadtwo weeks before shooting should tell you everything you need to know about the quality of his art.
