Even Hollywood folks can forgive.

Despite the flagrant comments Megan Fox made about Michael Back back in 2009 - comments which cost her a role in the third Transformers installment - the director has announced that she will be cast in his upcoming remake of the eighties comic book and animated series Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

"TMNT: we are bringing Megan Fox back into the family!" he wrote on his website.

The plot of the film - to which some fans have already objected - involves a group of aliens who invade Earth and inadvertently spawn four mutant ninja turtles who then fight them to defend the planet.

This will be Fox's first feature film since giving birth back in October.
