Megan Fox & Transformers: How the Movie Franchise Launched Her Career
Before she joined the cast of the two Transformers films, Megan Fox has been quite an unfamiliar face in Hollywood. Megan Fox shot to fame when she kicked some butt as the robot fighter Mikaela Banes in the 2007 box-office hit Transformers. This role propelled her to stardom.
Soon, Fox became a more familiar face when the second Transformers movie opened in theaters in June 2009. Her role as Mikaela established Fox as an actress who’s more than just a pretty face and a sexy body.
Megan Fox herself has admitted that the latest Transformers movie gave her career a boost and opened more opportunities for her. But the 23-year-old American actress got the ire of the Transformers director Michael Bay when she remarked that Transformers “is not a movie about acting.” Bay reacted by asserting that Transformers has helped launch Fox’s career.
Where was Megan Fox before her meteoric rise to popularity? Fox shifted from modeling to acting when she played a supporting role in the 2001 movie Holiday in the Sun. After that, she played small roles in different TV series such as Two and a Half Men, Ocean Ave., and What I Like About You. In 2004, Fox played Carla in the Lindsay Lohan film “Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen”. It was then succeeded by a number of appearances in various films.
Fox’s first major role in a movie is her being the love interest of Shia Labeouf in the 2007 Transformers film. Her performance earned her recognitions in various Teen Choice Awards. After her stint in the two Transformers films, she continues taking on lead roles in other movies such as Jennifer’s Body and Jonah Hex, which will be released in 2009 and 2010, respectively.
Transformers 2 Cast: The Faces of Transformer Saga
One of the biggest films in 2009, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is packed with thrill and action reminiscent of the popular TV animated series. Aside from the stunning special effects, the Transformer 2 cast is also something that Transformers fans have anticipated for a long time.
Who are playing whom? The following are the members of the Transformers 2 cast who make Transformers viewing an enjoyable treat.
Shia LaBeouf
LaBeouf plays the movie’s hero Sam Witwicky, a teenager who’s going to college for the first time. After defeating Megatron in the previous movie, Sam wishes to have a normal life. But this would have to take a backseat because Sam begins to have hallucinations on different Cybertronian symbols.
A former child star, LaBeouf reprises his role in the 2009 Transformers movie. He’s a young man with boyish looks that make him a great actor to play the major role.
Megan Fox
Fox is Sam’s hot, gorgeous girlfriend Mikaela Banes. She works in a motorcycle repair shop because she couldn’t afford her education. Fox is an American model and actress who has appeared in several movies and TV shows.
John Turturro
Turturro joins the Transformers 2 cast as Agent Simmons, a member of the Sector 7 unit that monitored the activity of Transformers on Earth. In Revenge of the Fallen, Simmons is working in his mother’s restaurant. After being persuaded to help Sam, Simmons joins him in his journey to Egypt.
Kevin Dunn and Julie White
Dunn and White play the role of Sam’s parents (Ron and Judy Witwicky). The couple provides comic relief in the movie.
