After being booted from “Transformers 3” and with “Jonah Hex” tanking horribly, it’s no wonder that Megan Fox is looking for a new franchise to latch on to. Especially considering her lone headlining gigs outside of “Transformers” — “Jennifer’s Body” and “How To Lose Friends And Alienate People” — have not done particularly well. But who would’ve thought her dream project would be such a left field choice?
Doing press rounds for “Jonah Hex,” Fox said, “I don’t want people to protest this, but I would like to be (Sarah) Rainmaker in ‘Gen 13 ‘ if they ever made that into a movie.” For those of you not familiar with the character, Sarah Rainmaker is an Apache born, bisexual superhero who can control the weather with her mind and fly. She is also an activist who attends protests when she’s not busy kicking supervillain ass.
Now, before fanboys get all excited about seeing Fox play a sexually liberated superhero, the chances of this happening are pretty much nil. No studio is going to finance an expensive comic book film with Fox in the lead, and really, female superheros are a terrible business in Hollywood. “Aeon Flux” and “Elektra” were both expensive disasters. Only someone like Angelina Jolie could make a project like this happen and no offense to Fox, but she is no Angelina.
Gen 13 is more of an ensemble piece, a team superhero thing much like X-Men. Also, it's never happening.
She needs to call Tarantino.
Gabe's right. And, even then, Rainmaker's actually the least prominent female in the team, taking a backseat to Fairchild and Roxy
