Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)
From MediaWiki
On May 30, 2007, DreamWorks greenlit two sequels to Transformers. The first of the two, tentatively named Transformers 2, is currently scheduled to be released June 26, 2009.[1]
Current information includes:
- Megan Fox and Peter Cullen are signed on to return.[2]
- Producer Tom DeSanto has envisioned a storyline introducing the Constructicons.[3]
- Writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman are recruiting Ehren Kruger to help them write the screenplay. Michael Bay and producers Don Murphy, Tom DeSanto, and Lorenzo di Bonaventura are also returning, as well as actor Shia LaBeouf. [4]
- The producers expect that with a bigger budget and the special effects worked out, the Transformers will have a larger role and more screen time.[citation needed]
- Michael Bay has claimed that the studio is putting out deliberate misinformation, to obscure real leaks.[5] (Like our jobs weren't hard enough.)
Transformers 2 and the 2007-2008 Writers Strike
In late 2007, during preproduction for Transformers 2, the Writers Guild of America went on strike. At the time, Roberto Orci stated that the strike could likely delay Transformers 2's release. However, Michael Bay refuted this, claiming the movie was still on schedule.[6] The reason behind Bay's confidence was discovered by Orci shortly after the strike ended. The director had apparently taken the outline the writers had handed in the night before the strike, and begun movie prep based on it.[7]
