LA Times is reporting that the strike threat has Hollywood on edge as the countdown continues to June 30th when all SAG actors are likely to strike as talks between SAG leadership and the studios have failed to reach an agreement.

SAG has granted waivers to 350 independent films (those made outside the studio system) but major studio projects have not been granted waivers as a result this directly impacts Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen which has built-in hiatus to plan for the event. The length of this hiatus is not known and if the strikes goes past the planned schedule that could prevent the movie from meeting its release date.

So to sum, SAG doesn’t appear close to an agreement. If a strike occurs it will likely start July 8th or shortly after. Transformers 2 production is already shut down and when they return is unknown. The impact on current and future projects will pretty much be immediate.

Today was the final day of shooting at Princeton with most of McCosh Courtyard blocked off. We’ve got a pretty skilled photographer on our hands — here’s a shot of Megan Fox on a motorcycle kissing Shia LaBeouf while director Michael Bay watches.

Here is also a picture of lucky Cameron wit Megan Fox. Read on for his story of meeting the actress:

After the first stunt was over, we saw our first sighting of Megan Fox. They were getting a shot of her driving from inside the car but she lost control and slammed it into a curb. Don’t worry, she’s perfectly fine. She got out of the car smiling and laughing and walked it off. Shia, on the other hand, hadn’t stopped chain smoking since the end of the first scene and every time they broke from filming he seemed to have a really bad attitude.

When the stunts got wilder the crowd was forced into nearby buildings where we got to watch from the second story. As we were leaving we were hoping we would be able to see Megan Fox again through a window or something, but we were even luckier, — when we got to the end of the hall, Megan was chilling at a snack table.

Check out this fun, silly video that shows Megan Fox and her co-stars streching out on the set of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. :wink:

According to IMDb.com, Megan Fox appears in Thomas Dekker’s Whore as ‘Lost’ alongside Lena Headey, Ron Jeremy and Rumer Willis. The film is currently in post-production and set to release in the US on October 20, 2008. Here is the synopsis of the film:

Caught between reality and hallucinations, hopelessness and hope, intoxication and sobriety, Thomas Dekker’s new film Whore explores the dark side of people’s inability to let go of their dreams even in the face of the harshest life. A large group of teens living on the streets of Hollywood and selling their bodies to stay alive struggle with the movie business that continues to slam one door after another in their face. The film dives deeply into their mental escapes and fantasies, the only thing that can relieve them of the dire situation they’ve found themselves in and the tole that future less hope can take on their friends, family, and most importantly…themselves.

I could not find any further details regarding Megan’s involvement so please do not take this as a fact until it is confirmed by a more official source.

Some great fan snaps have been added in the gallery from the Transformers 2 Princeton University shoot yesterday, on June 23. I adore Mikaela’s outfit here, va-va-voom!

Transformers 2: On the Set – June 23, 2008

When Michael Bay got behind the camera for his most recent film, he chronicled a lot more than just automobiles transforming into robots from outer space. Millions of fans also watched then 21-year-old Megan Fox transform from an obscure actress best remembered for a Lindsay Lohan movie into one of the most desired hotties on the planet.

Now, the Transformers star is back on the set with Michael Bay – and true to the director’s favorite word, she says he’s making an awesome sequel.

“As big as the first movie was, this is 10 times as big, 10 times as many set pieces, explosions, and acrobatic stunts,” she told us about Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. “Shia and I make out a little bit; I don’t know if anyone wants to see that.”

Something tells us that Shia LeBeouf wants to see it.

Ramon Rodriguez and Megan Fox were spotted by Mia who took some pictures as they filmed Saturday at the Richmond Power Plant (I think). The pictures show Megan Fox, Ramon Rodriguez and Bumblebee as they prepare for a scene. In one picture you can even get a glimpse at Bay’s rear-end. I do believe that this is the first visual proof that Ramon Rodriguez is part of cast as indicated in the call sheet.
