Last month it was announced that Megan Fox would not be returning for the third "Transformers" movie. Naturally, her departure raised the question of who would replace her as Shia LaBeouf's romantic interest in the film.
On Wednesday, after a week of speculation, it was officially revealed on director Michael Bay' blog that British model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has been cast in the film. The announcement (which misspells her last name) states, "she's the new female lead in Transformers 3."
Huntington-Whiteley previously worked with Michael Bay in a commercial he directed for Victoria's Secret, but she has no other acting credits to her name. She has appeared on the past four installments of the "Victoria's Secret Fashion Show," and was a guest on "Britain's Next Top Model." She's also reportedly dating "Transporter" star Jason Statham.
Filming has already begun on "Transformers 3" in Los Angeles, according to the LA Times, and will continue across the globe over the next 4 1/2 months. The movie is scheduled to open on July 1, 2011. To see more of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, click ahead for photos of her on the red carpet.
