Candids > 2011 > JULY 11TH – On the set of The Dictator in New York City

Megan Fox and John C. Reilly are making cameos in Paramount’s The Dictator, the latest Sacha Baron Cohen comedy currently in production in New York with Borat director Larry Charles at the helm.

The movie has been described as “the heroic story of a dictator who risked his life to ensure that democracy would never come to the country he so lovingly oppressed.” Cohen is said to play dual roles of a goat herder and a deposed foreign ruler who gets lost in the U.S. Anna Faris, Ben Kingsley and Jason Mantzoukas are also in the movie, set for release May 11, 2012.

For Fox, the part continues her entry into the comedy world. The Transformers star, who is the only actress in the top 20 of Facebook fan pages with more than 26 million followers, has made a shift away from the action world, recently shooting the ensemble comedic drama Friends With Kids, directed by Jennifer Westfelt and starring Kristen Wiig and Adam Scott, and booking a role in Judd Apatow’s latest project, This Is Forty, which shoots this summer.

Screenwriter Mitch Glazer has forged an impressive career, with such diverse titles under his belt such as Scrooged, Great Expectations, and The Recruit. Like most writers, though, Mitch Glazer has also wanted to direct, and he finally makes his directorial debut with the drama Passion Play, a project which has been in the making for the past 20 years. Mitch Glazer originally wanted his wife Kelly Lynch to star as Lily, a circus performer who has large bird wings growing out of her back, along with his lifelong friend Mickey Rourke. Mickey Rourke stars as Nate Poole, a jazz musician who flees from a mobster (Bill Murray) when he finds a traveling circus and the lovely winged woman Lily, portrayed by Megan Fox.

You have been good friends with Mickey for years and your wife Kelly is in this as well. Can you talk about discovering Megan for this role and the things you brought out of her in this performance?
Mitch Glazer: Absolutely. I had never seen the Transformers films. When it first saw her pictures, I just went, ‘My God. That’s her!’ The director of Jennifer’s Body had shown me a few cut scenes together, because the movie hadn’t come out yet, just so I could see what she looked like on screen. That was it, really. We had a lunch, she and I, and she read the script three or four times and was really connected to it already. There was a vulnerability to her aside from her beauty. It was a neighborhood restaurant that we eat at a lot and I’ve never seen paparazzi there. This poor woman, they followed her there, as a pack. We’re eating and I look through the glass window and there are all these big guys out there taking photos of her. I realized that Megan’s real life had prepared her for the role of a woman who is paid money for men to look at her in a glass box. She’s already there, because of her beauty and celebrity, she was already an object, as Lily is. She was connected to the script in a lot of ways. She showed up, literally, fully formed. I don’t even know if I know who Megan Fox is. I know Lily. She wrote me an email, days after leaving the set, saying, ‘I miss Lily.’ That’s all she wrote, and I believed she did. It was a perfect fit between actress and part. I love her performance in it. I think it’s really subtle and controlled and beautiful.

We added 15 new high quality production stills and 1 high quality behind the scenes photos of Megan’s movie Passion Play. Megan looks flawless! You can watch the trailer here! We’ll add high definition captures soon so stay tuned! Here is the synopsis:

Set in the desert and laced with the deep elements of a modern fable, Passion Play tells the tale of Nate (Mickey Rourke), a down-on-his-luck jazz trumpet player who forms a bond with Lily (Megan Fox), a woman born with wings who has wound up as a carnival sideshow attraction. Together these two damaged souls undertake a turbulent romantic journey while trying to avoid the witty and menacing Happy (Bill Murray), a local gangster.

It was recently revealed that MGM hired Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (“Big Love,” “Glee”) to write the script for the upcoming “Carrie” remake, based on a Stephen King novel. After the announcement, King mentioned that the casting process will be very interesting, naming Lindsay Lohan as someone who could play the role. Now comes word that Megan Fox is interested in playing Carrie.

“Megan is a huge fan of the original and would love the chance to play the lead,” said a source close to the actress. “She’s 25 now but she’s sure she could still do justice to teenage Carrie.”

Sounds really interesting! Good luck Megan!

We added the first prosuction stills of Megan’s upcoming movie “Friends with Kids” opposite Jon Hamm, Adams Scott & Kristen Wiig. Megan looks gorgeous, can’t wait for the movie, it sounds so good!

The project revolves around a pair of thirty-something best friends who observe the toll that having kids has taken on the couples they know and resolve to bypass that stress by having a child and then date other people. Scott and Westfeldt will play the lead couple; Wiig and Hamm will play another. A third couple has not been cast. Fox will play a girl who Scott begins to date.
