Spielberg: "Story TF2 To Be Finalized In a Couple Of Weeks!"

Postby Raymond T. » Tue Oct 09, 2007 6:23 pm

Slash Film was at the set of the new Indiana Jones movie, which stars Harrison Ford and Shia LaBeouf, who is best known for playing Sam Witwicky in the latest Transformers movie.

While on the set, the reporters from the movie site got the chance to talk to director/producer Steven Spielberg. While their article is mostly about the fourth Indiana Jones movie, Steven Spielberg dropped a snippet surrounding the sequel to the record-breaking Michael Bay Transformers movie. The following is taken directly from the article.

"The "story" for Transformers 2 will be finalized in a couple weeks, and if the writers guild strike doesn't happen in November, they will be able to go into production on "number 2" pretty quickly".

Arcee, Grimlock, Tidal Wave, Soundwave, A Decepticon Combiner that isn't Devestator :PRAY:

It would be cool if they would open a forum or something on the movie site to let fans voice their opinion on the next movie's robot cast. We've been vocal, sure, but not very organised. I doubt the movie people are going to read through the thousands of "who do you want in TF2" threads out there...

I think the Dinobots are a dumb idea. The general audience wont grasp the concept of robot dinosaurs, since the whole focus of the first movie was mechanical devices turning into robots. My guess is more robots, more mayhem

Seeing how many rewrites and edits that the first movie got (remember the Transformers lines were not locked in stone till the very last minute), the script that is pumped out by November will be very different to what the final script is.

Wonder if D Murphy's hissy fit was because that fanfic hit close to the mark on some previously discussed ideas...

To uses his powers to the fullest, though, he's gotta be feelin' good vibrations; bad karma can seriously harsh his mellow, y'know?

I think if you talk with alot of fans, most want the "Dinobots" without them actually being dinosaurs.

Even then, I think most fans would be happy with (or in my case, would prefer) just having Grimlock, and he could be a vehicle just like everyone else. He pulled off his mustang-mode in the Alternator line, no reason he can't pass of as an armor car or some other large, powerful vehicle. For me, the other Dinobots weren't as interesting, and were just carbon copies of the same basic character.

That's really quick for a script though, hope it's good!

I think Grimlock should be sufficient for now but think a dinosaur would still be good but one more like Dinobot frombeast wars.Real looking on the outside and more mechanical in robot form.

If the story/script is finalized, what difference does the writer's guild strike have on beginning production?

As to characters.. Wheeljack and the brothers (Swipe and Streaker) would be good, as would Dinobots/Grimlock (the "basic concept" of the first movie was robots turning into alternate forms. Whether this be cars/jets/miscellaneous mechanical or electronic items/robot dinosaurs or animals/etc makes no difference.) and Soundwave or Shockwave.

first of all, it seems rushed. secondly, everyone's saying, "i want him", i hope he's in it", and i hope they put so and so in it". we're going to get the same crap we got in the first one. probably even less of a plot(which is almost impossible), just horrible writing, corny ass jokes/comedic sequences that are totally unnecessary, and no time for the bots. oh and of course bay and his terrible directing skills. plus it doesn't matter what characters end up in it cause they're gonna get the bayformer makeover and look pathetic anyway.

Yeah thats a good point, I really loved War Within Grimlock and his "Lightning Strike Coalition". His tank mode was awesome, and they gave him intelligence, just a messed up voice unit that made him say things like "Me" before every sentence

They might go the RiD route since alot of the Contruction team had Dinobot names
