Megan Fox indentified with her character in Passion Play so much that she “wanted to be her forever”.
The beautiful Hollywood actress plays Lily in the film, a lady who is kept in a glass box as part of a carnival attraction.
Megan admits the role has been one of her favourites of her career so far, and says she especially appreciated the vulnerable nature of her character.
“I identified with the character a lot. She’s broken, damaged and exposed – I loved Lily and I wanted to be her forever,” the star told Total Film magazine.
The movie’s director Mitch Glazer also saw similarities between Megan and her character. In fact, the parallels between their lives were one of the main reasons the actress was cast in the role.
“When I had lunch with her she was so vulnerable and mysterious and as I talked with her about the role of a woman who people pay to watch in a glass box and about the objectification of women, I looked through the window and there’s a wall of paparazzi photographing her as we’re eating and I thought, if this girl doesn’t understand this character – nobody will, because that’s really her life,” Mitch explained.
The director had reportedly been working on the film’s script for 20 years before it came into fruition, meaning 24-year-old Megan was only a little girl when the movie concept was first hatched.
The edgy fairytale romance also stars Mickey Rourke and Bill Murray, and has received fantastic reviews.

Is Megan Fox an angel sent from heaven, or a freak of nature? The stunning star teams up with Mickey Rourke for a potent mix of music, mobsters and magic in the upcoming drama ‘Passion Play,’ and we have a first look at the movie!
In this modern fable of romance, heartbreak and danger, Mickey plays Nate, a down-on-his-luck jazz trumpeter whose life changes when he meets Lily (Megan), the star of a carnival sideshow attraction.
What makes Lily so special is the fact that she has beautiful, real wings on display for the world to see. As these two damaged souls fall for each other, their happiness is threatened when sleek and menacing gangster Happy Shannon (Bill Murray) zeroes in on them.

A new picture from “Passion Play” has been released ahead of its premiere at the 35th Annual Toronto International Film Festival. Though it still focuses on two lead stars, Megan Fox and Mickey Rourke, the shot manages to give the first look at the major female character with her wings while she is displayed in a room with a big window.
In the film, the “Jennifer’s Body” babe portrays Lily, a slender beauty with wings who is part of a carnival. “She has wings, so she was sort of an oddity trapped in a carnival act,” Rourke has said about Fox’s character. “She’s been a prisoner her whole life, and she has no understanding of trust. She’s very vulnerable and delicate.”
Rourke, meanwhile, will be seen as a troubled trumpet player named Nate who finds redemption after saving Lily from a gangster Happy Shannon. Bill Murray takes the antagonist role which was initially supposed to be tackled by Toby Kebbell.
“Bill Murray isn’t your typical scary, spooky guy, and there’s something very unnerving about a guy with a sort of off-the-wall sense of delivery,” Rourke gushed on his co-star. “It’s very unexpected. Some of your worst gangsters are guys who were very low-key. I kind of like the fact that Mitch went against the grain and didn’t use a Hollywood stereotype.”
“Passion Play” is directed and written by Mitch Glazer with Daniel Dubiecki, Megan Ellison and Jonah M. Hirsch on the board of producers. This drama is expected to be picked up for U.S. distribution at upcoming Toronto Film Festival which will start September 9 until date 19 of the same month.
