For those of you seeking information or wanting to ask questions about Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen, scribe Roberto Orci has surfaced on a thread over at TFW2005 and he's openly taking and (surprisingly) answering questions.
Roberto Orci Answers Transformers 2 Questions
I thought I'd open by asking which important characters died in the sequel, but have yet to hear back on that. Maybe a private message?
While you could browse TFW2005 all day looking for answers, the good people at /Film have made a highlight reel of what's been discussed so far.
About Writing Shia’s hand injury into the Script: “Luckily nothing has to be reshot. Yes, we were on set last week to write it into the movie, not because it’s absolutely necessary, but more because we want to make sure Shia’s hand is protected for the remainder of the shoot…”
Regarding the budget for the sequel: “Yes we do get a bit more dough. Expect an upgrade. And we also know better what we can do this time to maximize the mighty buck. And we have the secret weapon that is Ian Bryce.”
On the difference between the first and second films: “The first movie is all about the mystery and reveal of the Transformers as a concept and a species, which means we had to hide them a lot in the first hour. In the second movie, now that everyone believes in the universe, we can jump right into the world of the Transformers.” … “The hardest aspect is that you lose the element of surprise. We got away with a lot in the first movies because for a long time, no one thought it would work, or that it was just a silly cartoon, and simply proving that wrong is all we had to do. The first movie was meant to be somewhat of a mystery. For the sequel, we need an entirely different structure and paradigm for the movie, and we can’t rely on it being the first.”
