Shia LaBeouf in promotion for Disturbia briefly discusses Transformers with IGN.com. Over at ENI, Transformers screenwriters Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman talked with MTV.
The highlights from both interviews:
- The writers decided to hold on Soundwave for a sequel "for when we can actually do Soundwave right."
- Everything is up for grabs from Armada to Beast Wars if another movie is made.
- The writers pitched to Michael Bay "...a boy and his car. 'E.T.' with action."
- First draft focused on the Shia meets girl romance stuff, second draft began to incorporate action movie booms.
- The comic books where used as model for the human characters (and one assumes some of the Transformers).
- Cybertron will be seen in the film.
- Bumblebee speaking on through song was inspired by first conversation between Elliot and E.T. to create a sense of wonder about the Transformers.
- Orci liked writing for Prime and they both advocated for Peter Cullen to voice him.
- Ravage was in an early draft of the movie.
- Shia's interview was mostly contrasting how hard it was to act against a make-believe robot in TF versus a real actor in Disturbia.
- Apparently Michael Bay is like General Patton and the acting was hard because didn't get the immediate feedback of whether a seen will work or not.
- Shia confirmed he is signed up for sequels.
