Page 2 is a compilation of stories and news tidbits, which for whatever reason, didn’t make the front page of /Film. After the jump we’ve included 39 different items, fun images, videos, casting tidbits, articles of interest and more. It’s like a mystery grab bag of movie web related goodness.

In case you missed it, this hilarious photo of Megan Fox totally ignoring a star-struck fan at the Transformers: Revenge of the fallen premiere has been circulating the interwebs.My good friend Steve at Collider had a chance to ask Fox about the photo after his interview at the Transformer junket. Watch the interview below.

Megan Fox tells MTV that they weren’t allowed to improv or change a single word while filming Jennifer’s Body: “That was actually something that was hard about making that movie. Because it was Diablo [Cody]— and because she just won an Oscar — we were not allowed to deviate from the script. Not even a single word.”

    All I'm gonna say is that the Zoey Deschanel 'Cotton' ad before the Shia LaBeouf video was awkward.

    And Megan Fox has nice cans
  • Fir3Wolf
    I do kinda feel bad for that kid but he sure did get owned. Also Shia singing, yea, that was awkward. That Gamer remix is more annoying then cool if you ask me.
  • This is the second blog I've seen rip apart the racial stereotype of the films.

    Though not expected as Transformers took the black guy dies cliche to a new level. Even though none of the transformers had races the autobot that died was obviously supposed to be black.
  • AJ
    Hey man, say something before you tell everyone a spoiler like that.
  • SnarkSmarm
    @ AJ: Joking, right...?
  • jason B
    yeah man, jazz's death was in the 1st film. all bets are off for anything regarding the 1st film, when discussing it's sequel.
  • Dhelt
    "Even though none of the transformers had races"

    Jazz was always a black racial sterotype character, dating back to the original cartoon
  • Themoviedoc
    I just thought that some of you would perhaps like to watch my video, since it's about Hollywood "having no more ideas" and making bad movies such as Bazooka Joe :

  • Craigasorusrex
    I'm sorry but that picture of the kid with the white rose as Megan Fox completely misses him made me laugh.
  • wow, megan fox looks awesome lol
  • justrobby
    I dont care what you say, Megan Fox is HOT
  • Damn straight shes hot!
  • jesse gouldsbury
    Why are they showing Repo? That movie was horrible. I guess the other stuff sounds interesting for comic-con.
  • krackajap
    Screw you Repo was awesome.
  • Poland626
    Agreed. Seen it like 5 times. Wanna see it again
  • jesse gouldsbury
    really? I could barely sit through it once. I can kind of see some peoples pull to it, but I was extremely let down by it after wanting to see it.
  • jason B
    @ peter What is a "first look deal"? (the thing that mendes signed with Focus Features)
  • Basically, Mendes has to present Focus with the opportunity to make any project he develops for the next two years.
  • Someone needs to tell Jackie Earle Haley to sharpen those blades.
  • djc
    regarding transformers' racism: it's worth noting that in gq, aziz ansari says that he turned down the opportunity to audition for transformers because it called for him to put on a demeaning "kwik-e-mart" accent
  • jason B
    hrm...i think devin/chud just like to bitch about things - especially when bay is involved. i'm a product of howard stern, and i think these things are only offensive if you give them the power to be so.

    i'm more offended that it's a very weak character trait, and i expect better writing from orci, kurtzman, & krueger. hell, i expect better writing from ANYONE who is lucky enough to be writing a feature film at all. sadly i know that's not always the case.
  • Pie
    You can see Megan Fox's nipples.

    Signed,
    Straight girl who happens to notice this shit
  • I see no nipples.

    There are more pics here. http://theblemish.com/2009/06/megan-fox-hates-y...
  • Johan
    You sure you are straight, girl? Cause I couldn´t see her nipples and I usually see shit like that :=)
  • Mike
    You are a troll.

    Signed,
    Guy who hates trolls.
  • Johan
    And that makes you what? A troll hunter? Get a life instead of getting annoyed at what other people write and go back to your own blog, asshole!
  • Danisgod6491
    You know what would have been funny. If the kid shot Fox, kinda lennon style and then we would have to worry about her ruining another movie. I kid though.

    A Reaper Comic would be awesome seeing since it was stupid of The CW To cancel it for Melrose Place.
  • Two things:

    1).Didn't believe Megan Fox at all.
    2). And I was SO devoted to Eckhart as Captain America...someone else will have to do. :/
  • Yeah, she rubbed her nose when she said she was sorry about that kid. That's usually an indication for a lie.
  • Not sure about 'sticking to script' being such a great idea on Jennifers Body. I know she won an Oscar (deserved) but every film should embrace spontaneity when possible (Juno did if alternate scenes are anything to go by).
  • Captain Awesome
    Couldn't deviate from the script? You get a golden statue then all of a sudden you're god damned Caeser.

    As for Chud, I love the patting on the backs they're giving themselves over confronting Bay about this. Seriously? A film franchise built on nothing but "stereotypes". That's the ENTIRE film. Everything from the hot-bod girl who loves working on cars, to the clumsy college kid bumbling around going after her. But because black people die in them, it's an issue now?

    Give me a break.

    P.S. Megan Fox gets good points for her apology.
  • Whoa you can't jump to the conclusion that Cody said don't deviate Karyn Kusama the director and it could have been her or more likely (in my eyes) the studio are riding on the Juno success so have decreed her word is gospel.
  • " Brian Austin Green is heading for Smallville as Daily Planet reporter John Corben aka Metallo "

    Brian Austin Green as Metallo, great!
    Daily Planet reporter John Corben aka Metallo, sounds like a terrible idea.

    smallville's season finale was awefull, hope than can do better than the metallo idea.
  • Goddamn Page 2 absolutely rocks, Peter.
  • You mean you didn't notice the words on 2012? It's not like the brush past the logo pretty quick, I saw it the first time.
  • Mike
    I hope Jennifer's Body fails BAD. I mean when you're that strict on a script, you need an ego check and fast.
  • musicsoup
    i didn't know that Pandorum was a documentary about Aerosmith.

    Nothing about Brian Austin Green is news worthy. Do not waste our time.

    Can we get that Sorority Row picture with the background in focus?

    Fuck Michael Bay and his racist robot testicles.
