  • Megan Fox Goes from ‘Turtles’ to ‘Zeroville’

    Megan Fox was on hand in Beijing to speak to the press as the city awaits the premiere of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Her costar William Fichtner and the producers of the film gathered at the Shangri-La hotel in Beijing, China, for the press event, but all eyes were most certainly on Fox. She strutted her typical sexy stuff, wearing a chic black dress along with a Ninja Turtles eye mask as a headband.

    Megan has been working, along with the film’s producers and her costars, quite tirelessly to promote the film all around the world. Sources say she showed no signs of jet lag, however, and instead was quite animated when she chatted with fans and reporters about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. In the film, which has so far received mixed reviews from critics–but has done well at the international box office–Megan Fox plays news reporter and friend of the Turtles, April O’Neil.

    The mother of two sons has frequently said she works so she and her husband, Brian Austin Green, can provide a good lifestyle for their sons, Noah and Bodh. She recently started filming her next project. She will star in James Franco’s movie Zeroville. Seth Rogen and Will Farrell will also star in the upcoming film. Megan Fox will play the role of a Hollywood starlet with a questionable past. She will become the romantic interest and obsession of James Franco’s character.

    Megan Foxy is the best!

    How do you best like Megan Fox? Do you think her role in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is the kind of role she is destined to play? Or do you think this new role in Zeroville will give her more credibility as an actress?

  • Megan Fox to Star Opposite James Franco in Film Adaptation of Acclaimed Novel ‘Zeroville’

    Megan Fox has signed on as the female lead in Zeroville, starring opposite James Franco, who is also directing.

    The film is an adaptation of the novel by the same name written by Steve Erickson and follows a film-obsessed man named Ike (Franco), who arrives in Hollywood in 1969 hoping to break in to the business. He arrives at just the right moment — when the industry is taking a turn for the better.

    Fox will play a Hollywood starlet with a sordid past, who becomes the romantic interest and obsession of Franco’s character.

    In the era of sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll, Ike gets his dream job as a film editor. Through his journey in 1960s Hollywood, he encounters the gambit of stereotypical characters, ranging from former starlets, burglars and political guerrillas to musicians and veteran filmmakers.

    Vince Jolivette of Rabbit Bandini is producing, along with Caroline Aragon, Michael Mendelsohn and Franco.
