Megan Fox has rejected the chance to portray the next Bond girl, it has been claimed.

The Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen star passed on playing Daniel Craig's love interest in the 23rd 007 adventure, the Daily Star reports.

Megan Fox Denies Turning Down Bond Role

Megan Fox has shot down claims she turned down a role in the next James Bond film.

The Transformers star, 23, was said to have been sounded out by Bond bosses for a forthcoming 007 movie in which she would have starred opposite Daniel Craig as one of his conquests.

“Megan might be interested in a villainous role if it was a central part of the movie but she is not interested in being just your usual type of Bond girl,” a source revealed. “She did consider an approach but she won’t be doing Bond while she’s so busy with other projects. She might consider it again in a few years time.”

But a spokesman for Megan has spoken out to set the record straight.

“The report about Megan Fox turning down a Bond movie is completely not true,” the rep said. “There have been no discussions nor any offers. Megan is a fan of the Bond movies.”

Fox is slated to attend Comic Con in San Diego this week, to do publicity for her films Jonah Hex and Jennifer’s Body.

SDCC Exclusive: Pirates 4 Starts Shooting Spring '10!  

Comic-Con is in full swing at this point, and ComingSoon.net got a surprise interview with Disney's Head of Production Oren Aviv where we talked about the genesis of some of the projects they were showing at the con, though we did have a lot of questions about future Disney plans as well. One of the movies that's still on the forefront of everyone's mind is the fourth installment of "Pirates of the Caribbean." Producer Jerry Bruckheimer told us a few weeks back that they were working on a script, but Aviv and Disney are definitely on board as we learned when we discovered that they have plans to be rolling film on the movie as early as next year.

"We're going to shoot 'Pirates 4' in April or May of next year," Aviv told us during our interview. "We are going to release it hopefully in 2011 is the plan." He said that this time they would only be doing one movie this time that would "hopefully be the first of another trilogy."

"It's important to get the story right and it's important to me to scale it down, because we can't get bigger," Aviv admitted. "The movies have subsequently gotten bigger and bigger and very complicated and they were satisfying on so many levels obviously, but I want to kind of reboot the whole thing and bring it down to its core, its essence, just characters." He agreed that there is a lot of Captain Jack Sparrow's back story that we haven't seen yet without confirming or denying that we might see some of that in the fourth movie. Still no word on whether Gore Verbinski might come back for the fourth movie.

Look for our full interview with Mr. Aviv very soon. It will definitely be of great interest to anyone who is wondering how Disney has been making decisions about some of the movies they've been making and will make in the future.

“The producers are OK with that because they want to concentrate on the new adventures of Johnny Depp’s Captain Jack Sparrow.”

Michael Keaton joins 'Toy Story 3' cast

Michael Keaton will voice Barbie's boyfriend Ken in Toy Story 3.

The actor's involvement in the latest instalment of the animated franchise was announced at Disney's Comic-Con panel.

Toy Story 3 is scheduled for release in summer 2010.

"Barbie is back, and this time she plays a bigger role. So naturally we had to bring in her companion Ken this time," said director Lee Unkrich.

"And we can announce today that he's voiced by Michael Keaton. He worked with us on Cars, where he voiced the bad guy, and he was a blast to work with so we invited him back as Ken."

Keaton will also apparently conduct a faux-interview with Ken, where his character gets upset at accusations that his girlfriend Barbie is the bigger star. The interview is expected to appear as a DVD extra.

Jon Favreau 'confirms Iron Man 3'

Jon Favreau has confirmed that there will be a third instalment in the Iron Man franchise, it has been reported.

The filmmaker, who is currently shooting the superhero series' first sequel, said that the trilogy may be completed before the Avengers movie goes into production, Movies Online reports.

He said: "There's an Iron Man 3. Here's how I know. When they make the option deals, they include Iron Man 3. So I know they're planning on 3. Whether that would be before or after Avengers, they've announced that Avengers is next but they pushed back The Avengers once, which I thought was encouraging."

The on-screen teaming of Marvel Comics characters such as Iron Man, Thor and Captain America will also reportedly depend upon production of upcoming films based on individual projects directed by Kenneth Branagh and Joe Johnston.

Favreau did not confirm if he will be filming the proposed collaboration, adding: "My involvement has yet to be determined on that project. You're not going to know about Thor for two years, what that really means. And Captain America, they haven't even started prepping yet. So there's a lot of discovery that has to take place before you can understand what Avengers really is."

The director recently said that the follow-up to the 2008 blockbuster may feature character Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) having difficulty handling the responsibility of being a superhero.

Iron Man 2 will be released in cinemas on May 7, 2010.

Cyrus to play Batgirl in 'Dark Knight' sequel?

Miley Cyrus has reportedly auditioned for the role of Batgirl in the proposed Dark Knight sequel.

It is understood that the Hannah Montana star donned a batsuit and prepared her own dialogue for Warner Brothers executives, who are said to have been "stunned" by her performance.

"She was sort of hopping around the room and had even written some dialogue for herself," an insider told The Globe. "The problem is, some people aren't really convinced Miley has the acting chops to pull it off."

Gary Oldman is believed to have confirmed that the latest instalment of the Batman franchise will begin filming next year, while director Christopher Nolan may be on board for the third outing.

The part of Batgirl was played by Yvonne Craig on the 1960s US TV series, while Alicia Silverstone portrayed the caped heroine for 1997 film Batman & Robin.

Fox laughs off feud with Michael Bay

Megan Fox has laughed off speculation that she is engaged in war of words with her Transformers director Michael Bay.

The actress, who plays car-loving Mikaela Banes in the blockbuster movies, had prompted a frustrated response from Bay after she told Entertainment Weekly that his films did not offer many actual acting opportunities.

Speaking to MTV News at Comic-Con, Fox said: "That's just me and Mike. That's how we talk. I don't feel like we're in a war of words at all."

Bay was reported to have told the Wall Street Journal that Fox "says some very ridiculous things because she's 23-years-old" and claimed that no-one knew who she was until he cast her.

Fox added: "Obviously, what he said is not untrue, about me saying ridiculous things all the time and being 23. That's all accurate. Those are all things that he would say to me and has said to me. That's actually one of the kindest things he's said about me."

Lefevre "stunned" by 'Twilight 3' recasting

Twilight star Rachelle Lefevre has admitted that she was "stunned" to learn that she would be replaced by Bryce Dallas Howard in the third instalment of the hit franchise.

The actress, who plays villainous vampire Victoria, told Access Hollywood that she had been "fully committed" to filming Eclipse despite reportedly being dropped over scheduling conflicts with another movie.

"My commitment to Barney's Version is only ten days. Summit picked up my option for Eclipse... Given the length of filming for Eclipse, never did I fathom I would lose the role over a ten-day overlap," she said.

"I was happy with my contract with Summit and was fully prepared to continue to honour it. Summit chose simply to recast the part... I am hurt deeply by Summit's surprising decision to move on without me. I wish the cast and crew of Eclipse only the very best."

She added: "I am greatly saddened that I will not get to complete my portrayal of Victoria for the Twilight audience. This is a story, a theatrical journey and a character that I truly love and about which I am very passionate. I will be forever grateful to the fan support and loyalty I’ve received."

Lefevre will make her final appearance in the saga in sequel New Moon, which arrives in cinemas in November. Eclipse will begin filming next month.

Spielberg keen on 'Matt Helm' movie

Steven Spielberg is eager to direct a movie based on Donald Hamilton's spy creation Matt Helm, says Variety.

The director, who is attached to produce the Paramount project with Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, is reportedly impressed with Paul Attanasio's latest script for the spy thriller, which reinvents the Cold War agent as a contemporary hero in the mould of Jason Bourne.

Spielberg's complicated relationship with the studio may prove a stumbling block in his bid to direct Matt Helm. The filmmaker and his DreamWorks company parted ways with Paramount last year, with Spielberg retaining an option to co-finance and co-distribute several of the projects he was working on before the split.

The Helm movie is completely owned by Paramount and the studio is thought to be concerned that Spielberg's directing fee will be too high for an untested action franchise.

The Helm character appeared in 27 novels and was portrayed by Dean Martin in a series of '60s spy films. He was revived for a short-lived TV show in 1975.

Nighy "grateful" for 'Deathly Hallows' role

Bill Nighy has said that he is "grateful" to be involved in Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows.

The British actor, who appears as the villain in this week's CG animated comedy G-Force, spoke to DS about his forthcoming role as Minister of Magic Rufus Scrimgeour.

"I thought I was going to be the only English actor not in Harry Potter," he joked. "I think they ran out of English actors and they finally had to turn to me. I've worked with David Yates, the director, on The Girl In The Café and State Of Play and I love him. I think he is one of the great director's currently working and I'm very happy to be working with him again."

Nighy added that he has no qualms about joining the Potter franchise late in the day: "It is a unique situation because they've all been there so long. It is odd being the new boy. They are all very committed, they know everything - all the books, all the nuances of everything. It's nice to come in and finally be a part of it."

The former Dawson’s Creek actress — who is married to Tom Cruise — is apparently in talks to play a feisty businesswoman who rivals Kim Cattrall’s man-eating character Samantha.

Shooting for the Sex and the City flick begins in the autumn, with release set for May 2010.
