- Motto: "Build a Giant Robot? Sure it's safe, I mean...it's not like two Stars from a childhood tv show are going to hotwire it and take over the world....right?"
Honestly, the cheapest solution is to probably just re-cast the original character. Which is what I think they're going to do.
I don't like it, but this production is alredy under a time line with a shooting schedule (Which we know is well underway) and many other things and to re-write and add diologue, even the simplest of add ons, takes money. Writers don't work for free, they can't afford to.
Megan's character will be recast, and they'll pick a lesser known or no name actress, much like the list that was presented cause save for the Bond girl, I didn't know anyone on the list really. Reason, they won't ask for alot of money or haggle.
However, usually with productions that are already full swing, the replacement actress is usually named by now. I mean usually when an actor or actress walks it's in post...so a recast can be properly found. With this however, with the reasons ranging wide and broad, we should have heard something pretty much the very next day as to who they would cast.
So, I'm calling BS. I'm guessing that Megan's character may have been cut to a smaller role or even a cameo via whatever contract she signed on...however to generate buzz we have more rumors. I mean this seems legit, and the press ate it up, but now without a re-cast...I don't know.
If Megan does turn up, I wont be surprised However till i hear about it from some other Joe, again this just falls under my radar for 2011. For more reasons then just this.
