Deadline’s Mike Fleming reports that Michael Bay has narrowed his search for Megan Fox’s Transformers 3 replacement to three final candidates: Victoria’s Secret model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Victoria’s Secret model Brooklyn Decker, and Surfer, Dude actress Sarah Wright. The director still has a week to make his decision, but Huntington-Whiteley, girlfriend of Jason Statham, is said to be the front-runner, even though she has zero acting experience and whoever gets the part will begin shooting in only two weeks. In the seven days between, the lucky winner will submit to an intensive training program during which she’ll learn to dismount a motorcycle in slow motion while simultaneously feigning an attraction to Shia LaBeouf — not as easy as it looks!
