Australian actress Jessica Marais is set to make her U.S. feature film debut in director John V. Soto’s voodoo thriller Needle. The 25-year-old stunner plays a college coed trying to survive an ancient curse.

The film’s synopsis reads:

A college student inherits an 18th Century machine with deadly supernatural powers. When the machine goes missing and his friends start dying, the student must team with his estranged brother to find the thief and stop the killings.

Fantasy fans may recognize Marais as the sexy, red-leather-clad Mistress Denna from ABC Studios’ “Legend of the Seeker,” currently on its second season.

Needle has yet to lock down a distribution deal.

Shia Labeouf admits to FHM that the second installment in the Transformers franchise sucked donkey balls. The 23-year-old actor blames the writer’s strike (yea, what’s part one’s excuse) for the convoluted story, but promises moviegoers that the upcoming Transformers 3 film will be on the money … so to speak.

He says:

There are a lot of people that liked the second one, but I hated it. I just didn’t enjoy it. I thought we missed the mark. I got confused, I couldn’t see what the fuck was going on, you know with certain robots… I couldn’t decipher what was happening. There were storyline paths that I just wouldn’t have gone down.

We were making our second movie in the middle of the writers’ strike. We had no script. We had to work with nothing. We literally had like 40 pages. And everything was sort of made on the fly. But I think this time we will be more concise, and in a definite direction where we want to take it.

I know that director Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg are dedicated to making the best movie we possibly can, and we’re not going to miss next time.

Hmm. Isn’t that pretty much what Megan Fox got crucified for saying a long time ago?
