Now that the writers' strike has ended, Transformers 2 cowriterRoberto Orci sets the record straight. Michael Bay told RottenTomatoes that he continued writing during the strike, but, as itturns out, that isn't the whole truth.
"He just turned out treatment and transferred it to screenplayformat. He picked a few characters from Hasbro and wrote what kindof things he needed in production, but he didn't write a script. Wewere involved up until the strike, and then shortly thereafter. Ofcourse, it's a continuation of the first movie. It's the charactersthat we selected from the first movie, in addition to some of theones we wanted to see that we couldn't put in the first one, andsome of them were even in our original drafts."
Set two years later, the sequel has no need to introduce theTransformers. "Yeah, the first movie was very much structured as amystery, such that the Transformers are revealed at sort of themidpoint. This time, this is a different structure, it's adifferent movie, it's a different story. The Transformers are therefrom minute one, and that's something that now we actually feltconfident we could get away with, because we saw that it could workand that you could have these sentient robots and you're happy whenthey're onscreen."
Still, there will be opportunities for intimate comedy scenes, likethe backyard sequence from the original. "It's still a continuationof these characters. Tonally, it's similar, if you liked the firstone, you're still going to get that intimate story of who Sam isand what he's doing, but if you're a sci-fi fan, because we canstart the movie much more Transformer-centric, it's a more balancedstory with higher stakes -- as many sequels tend to be."
