Megan Fox In Talks for Judd Apatow’s Next Film
Thanks to commenter stiller for the tip. The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Megan Fox is in negotiations to star alongside Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann in Judd Apatow’s latest directorial feature.
Rudd and Mann are reprising their characters of husband and wife from Apatow’s Knocked Up in a new story by the writer-director. Fox’s role is being kept under wraps.
We’ll keep an eye on the story and let you know when we hear any news!
(via THR)
3/17/2011 UPDATE: Seems as though Judd Apatow has tweeted some links to various stories which mention Megan being in the film so although it’s not 100% confirmed yet, it’s probably pretty close. Great news for Megan!
3/18/2011 UPDATE: Megan Fox was added as a cast member to the IMDB page for the ‘Untitled Judd Apatow Production‘.


@galvao
well the first movie Knocked Up did well it made about $150mil in the US and got good reviews. The director was asked in January when will filming begin he said June 2011.
great. then start filming in June and has already been confirmed otimo megan good then in 2012 she already has two movies
hopefully now it makes other kinds of movies
horror
ACTION
love
and other
but I thought (The Crossing), and rumor is a lie I thought
but it would be great if it were true
YOU IS THE WOMAN MORE WONDERFUL BEATIFUL IN THE WORLD
just wanted to post this its a review from a user on imbd about passion play…. who cares what critics think neways its all about the people who are going to pay to see the film
My wife and I saw this movie at TIFF, and loved it. Megan Fox proves she can truly act. Terrific film. The problem, if there is one, is Mickey Rourke’s character. As good as he was in The Wrestler, there’s a sameness about him, as if the story isn’t sure what it wants from him. Bill Murray is excellent as always, but the real gem here is Fox. There’s no question that she will forever be hounded, as she faces the double standard all female actresses face. If Channing Tatum gets roles because “he looks good on screen”, he still would never face the level of scrutiny of someone like Fox. However, she puts that to rest here, with a sublime performance.
just a question even if passion play got good reviews would it still be going straight to dvd…thats what happened with black swan in ireland anyways…
Thanks Craig, that’s great to read. And what the viewer said about his mention of Channing Tatum is also very true. Women face a much harder critique when it comes to being beautiful and being an actress. Interesting and uplifting read.
Hey You guys still remember that af1 saw Megan coming out from paramount studio. I think it has to do with this Katie price movie which I hope not: http://celebrity.aol.co.uk/2011/03/21/katie-i-want-megan-fox-to-play-me-vote/. Paramount will distribute her movie. What do you guys think?
Liam @ i think that YOU ARE JOKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
megan to play katie ???????????? JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@mey yeah I know :O but paramount involve in it it seems big.
to make a movie about a slut aka KATIE PRICE?????????????????? and PARAMOUNT to be involve in this shit??? NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!
katie said about megan just because megan has huge publicity and it’s good to use megan’s name to get in the media! subject close!!!!!
i would hate to see megan play katie price but when you think about it how she started out and where she is now its kinda interesting the way she manipulates fame the way she does and she is sorta broken and shit…..but yeah i hope she never plays her haha

it says its been confirmed by universal….so its definitely on wohoo
@craig
Its says that universal confirmed they are in talks, the original article is from the 17th
@deon
Oh i see hah…..i asked a question a little while ago about if passion play was to get good reviews would it of still gotten a small theatrical release and a platform release stradegy following the theatrical release because i heard black swan and 127 hours got the same type of release….black swan and 127 hours only showed in like 1 major theatre in ireland but it is getting a dvd release

thats a really nice pic
@craig
probably yea black swan started on 18 screens then went onto 2000+ as word grew and made over $100mil in the US. other highly regarded movies like rabbit hole didn’t get anywhere near that.
I’d like to see Megan play in an action movie, which is why I would like to see in the next Tomb Raider, I would be happy to see her act in the heroine, what do you think?
i think shes good in an action movies and it would be cool to see her play lara croft but if she wants to be taken serious as an actress which she does shes going to need to get into more serious roles that show shes talented so she is probably going to stir clear of action movies for awhile shes going the comedy route now even if she goes that way she can still show shes talented like if its a dramatic comedy which friends with kids sounds like…
@craig
I think you’re right, but does not seem right that she should at all costs act in serious films just to prove who is also a good actress, I think she is under too much pressure because they must demonstrate that it is not only beautiful but also good.

@prince
i know its kind of sad that she has to prove herself but if she does and im sure she will shes almost guaranteed a long life in film and she said thats what shes always wanted… well when you think of it it doesnt have to be a serious film as long as it is a character piece not just an object to look at like what she has played….if passion play had of gotten a big theatrical release it might have proved she can act….people only say she cant act cos she intelligent and beautiful and not fame hungry in hollywood its almost like your not allowed to be those things together
looks like we might have the real reason Megan was at paramount
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/doug-limans-moon-heating-up-170118
THR(a very reliable source) is saying Megan had a meeting regarding a role in another new movie which is backed by Paramount. The movie has no offical name but is being referred to as “Doug Liman’s untitled Moon project” Megan is one of about half a dozen actress’ who had meetings.

@Deon
Tough competition if only one female role , I wouldn’t get my hopes up
Yes, very tough but I don’t think it will be the only one female characther in the movie.
