Roberto Orci, one half of the current writing team for the Transformers Live Action movie to be released July 4th 2007, has had a few things to say on the
official board of
Don Murphy. The following are direct quotes from the
posts made by Roberto Orci.
"Hey Everyone,
We're still having a great time and learning a lot reading everything on this message board. Let us answer a couple of things:
1.) In regards to our interview discussing Transformers as a toy line, you should know we made that statement surrounded by cynical reporters. We meant that it would be easy for a screenwriter to come in and think, "I don't have to do a hell of a lot because it's just a toy line, and I can just make a giant commercial, with giant robots fighting, instead of having to come up with a good story." We were merely expressing our intention not to fall into the trap of thinking we could be lazy just because the toy line is so successful.
Alex and I were both fans when we were kids, we both saw the movie back in the day, although I'll admit the toys my parents gave me were GOBOTS and VOLTRON!
2.) On mass shifting: No matter where you fall in this debate, you should at least take heart in the fact that we have all been debating the issue as diligently and seriously as the supreme court weighing constitutional law. No matter how it turns out in the end, both sides will hopefully see that the decision was not taken lightly, and that our choices were not arbitrary and were made in service of a cool story. We are still reviewing arguments on both sides, and we may even have a solution that satisfies both sides. You will be the ultimate judges.
3.) We've chatted with Don about the voice casting, and you can rest assured we're still writing it with the original voices in mind.
4.) We were surprised by the reaction against Arcee. I myself never had a bias against her, figuring if the Autobots are all male, it would be logical that there would have to be a female. However, given the strong reactions we've read, the matter is again under "judicial review".
Thanks again for all the input. Don't worry about insulting us. We know it's all in the service of the finished product."
"In all of the genre work that Alex and I have done, we have tried to learn how to do humor that comes organically from the situation -- humor that is not merely for humor's sake, but that comes from being true to the characters.
The short answer is yes, but the humor, hopefully, will not "jump the shark" as they say".

The one and only
Don Murphy has dropped another update on his site. In the
thread it is confirmed that Michael Bay is now FINALLY officially signed as the director of the upcoming Transformers movie.
"The real fans on this site are just the greatest- despite all the mudslinging and madness and fan shit I really feel like we are building a community. I know we are doing something right when that TFW2005 site continues to poo poo us. They’ll pay to see the film three times just to tell us what we have done wrong.
Michael Bay is signed at this point for the film- BUT- he has to finish THE ISLAND and it’s not finished yet- before he can focus on TF. His Line Producer a great guy named Ian Bryce (HI IAN!) is dealing with department heads and other details. We were hoping to have a script last week but we don’t. But we will soon. Voice actors and Arcee and other things will be addressed at the right time. Welcome to the hell that is Producing- things move VERY slowly in my world. And yes, it is frustrating to me."
"So what is next for THE Project? Desanto and I will be at ComicCon. Someone had the idea to drop a big ass truck in the middle of the convention and wrap it up as “Coming Soon†– we hopefully killed that lameness. We want to have bags and tee shirts and posters- all teasers. The Official Site will go on line at the con. We want to create the first ever Official fan blog. You can come by to the booth, type in your thoughts on TF and get a T-Shirt, and the blog will be permanently online for all to see. It will kind of be like this board, but an ultimate resource to the filmmakers- if it works."
