Bay Prepares to Fake Out Transformers Fanboys

Michael Bay went through the wringer with the fanboys on Transformers. He addressed every concern -- early designs, scripts, remaining faithful to the source material -- and delivered a movie that won over most audiences, grossing nearly $320 million in America alone. But with Transformers 2 in development, Bay isn't taking any more lip service.

"One thing I do know is I know how to screw them up more," said Bay. "We're going to leak a lot of false information all over the place. I now know their game. They're going to get a lot of script treatments that they think are going to be the script. They will never see the script. We've got scripts and treatments written up that we're going to leak. No one's going to know."

Scoopers who currently think they're sitting on a hot one, here's a head's up. "There's one out that's fake right now. There are going to be many others."

In the days leading up to the writer's strike, Bay was in the trenches working on the sequel script. "Every day now. I'm excited about it. We've got Alex [Kurtzman] and Bob [Orci], the original writers, and we've got Ehren Kruger (Blood and Chocolate, The Ring), who's a new writer coming in. We have three very good writers."



I like his style. Most of you will probably loathe him even more but id do the same thing if i was him.

Go BAY!

You know what, good for him! And even better, good for us.

I say that because I did my best to avoid as many spoilers as possible for TF1, but with the amount of information out there, even in unrelated threads, I was getting information.

I wasn't happy about that, I wanted to see the movie fresh and not go in knowing every detail, and sadly, knowing every detail is just what happened :sad:

So go on, keep us guessing, give us goose chases, but more so, give us a good follow up that will entertain us with things we didn't already know!

I know not everyone feels this way, but for me...

While I somewhat like this little joke he's pulling on the fandom, I'd prefer them to use the avaiable time and money on a proper well-written script. With the strike on our doorstep, it seems stupid to focus on writing fake scripts o_0

Maybe they'll use an automated program or something. (I'm sure something like that must exist) even if it's just gibberish.

People will be dumb enough to try and download it, they'll read it, be all confused and he'll still be in the clear without people knocking down his door for answers.

At least this way he can focus more on doing his own thing and not have to worry about pleasing whiny fanboys.

what would be really sad is if these "decoys" are better than the actual movie.
