One half of the writing duo of the upcoming TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN, Robert Orci, has been kind enough to answer questions about the flick over at the TFW2005 messageboards. The thread is currently at 82 pages but the moderators have been cool enough to put a whole bunch of questions and answers at the beginning. Here's a small little taste:
Q: Mr. Orci, by going at the lenght of the script, is there any small indication at all about what the runtime of the sequel will be? Also: I think you can answer this one safely. Is Ratchet coming back?
A: Going by the length of the script can be tricky because the action is longer in reality than on the page. We're trying to keep it to two hours, but I get a feeling it'll be about the same as movie 1. Ratchet could be on assignment in Alpha Centauri. Who knows?
Q: With all this news about Icecream twins, "Wheels" and so forth, I'm a bit worried that we won't get to see very many new "Classics" characters. Should I be worried?
A: Slightly -- but there will be plenty for die hards.
Q: How many country will receive visitors from space? From what we know by now,france,china and united states will be there,is there anymore? Will there is any chance we'll get a teaser trailer before the end of the year? How many title ,before the choice of revenge of the fallen,were in the race?
A: The story for part 2 is more global, for sure. Teaser will surely come out before the end of the year. None. Alex Kurtzman came up with the title, and it was the only one we put up on the cover of the script.
Read the rest of it over HERE. The Fallen gets his revenge on June 26th of next year.
Extra Tidbit:
Apparently, production on FALLEN began one day after TRANSFORMERS won the MTV Movie Award for Best Movie.
