Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox let down by Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

Monday, 22 June 2009

Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox and the director of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen have been let down by their studio.

According to the BBC, director Michael Bay sent an email to Paramount executives stating that the US print campaign for the movie was an "abject failure."

He went on to write: "You talk so glowingly about Transformers being the movie of the summer, but unfortunately this has not got to the public.

"I have been waiting and waiting for the anticipation of an 'event movie' to make it into the 'public zeitgeist.'

"Right now, we are not an event, we are just a sequel, which is very different. There is no anticipation. Remember back to Spider-Man 2 - it was everywhere."

Bay felt like the coverage in various magazines and newspapers was also weak. He was disapointed that the movie didn't have a segment at the MTV Movie Awards like it did for the first film. Back then it had a full 30 minutes dedicated to it.

A second email Bay is alleged to have sent completely contradicts the first one.

In the second one he thanks Paramount for "busting your butts and bringing your 'A Game' for the release of Transformers."

We can't help but wonder what brought about the turn-around.
