0 Megan Fox In Talks for Judd Apatow’s Next Film

Megan Fox is in negotiations to star alongside Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann in Judd Apatow's latest directing vehicle for Universal.

Rudd and Mann are reprising their characters of husband and wife from Apatow's Knocked Up in a new story by the writer-director.

The surprising news that Megan Fox was in talks to co-star in the upcoming spinoff of Apatow's 2007 hit, "Knocked Up." Fox's part is being kept under wraps, but she was closing in on a deal for some sort of role.

Taking the rumors into his own hands, Apatow seemingly confirmed the chatter via Twitter on Wednesday night. Amongst a series of tweets on varying subjects, Apatow retweeted a link to a FirstShowing article about Fox's involvement, and then retweeted a fan tweet which said, "i am SO excited to see Megan in your film. it is such an interesting choice alongside rudd and your wife but i love this idea!!"

It's more vagueness from Apatow, who has yet to be very forthcoming with the details of this film. Set to star Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann, the hilarious co-starring couple from the original, Seth Rogen and Katherine Heigl-focused film, Apatow has remained mum on details.

"It is just a story from Pete and Debbie's current life," he said in January. "People really responded to their characters and problems. I felt like there was a lot of ground I could explore with them, so we'll be shooting in July and will come out the following June. There are some fun details yet to reveal but I will let them come out slowly."

This is bound to be a more successful project for Fox than her newest upcoming movie; her film with Mickey Rourke, "Passion Play," is set for a very limited release before going to DVD in May.

0 Megan Fox 'Passion Play'

Megan Fox stars as a woman with only one set of random wing work in the circus in the film "Passion Play," a premise a little strange that you should get out of your way to see. In the movie Megan Fox plays 'bird girl' in the circus that is under the thumb dangerous gangsters and rescued by a trumpeter played by Mickey Rourke.
It's little surprise that the film, though apparently a strong cast, finds itself without playing theater, has failed on the big screen. Playing at the Toronto Film Festival in September, the movie bombed, with terrible reviews and audience openly ridiculing it like a play - that is, before they run out.
According to Rourke, who went to high school with writer / director Mitch Glazer, Fox was not one that the film failed. In an interview with EW, Rourke really raved about Fox's acting ability.
"I think this is a pleasant surprise is the beauty of world-class girl turned out to be probably the best young actress I've ever worked with," said Rourke. "I do not know if many of his films have been showing off his acting skills more than, say, an action-oriented, but it really improves the dish with this one and is very consistent and professional, beyond her years. At 23, I can not do half of what he did. "
