Bay to Leak False Info on Transformers 2
Saturday, November 10th, 2007 @ 3:59 pm
Micheal Bay now has a greater understanding of how information travels. In an effort to keep secrets for the Transformers sequel he will start a disinfo campaign.
Michael Bay went through the wringer with the fanboys on Transformers. He addressed every concern — early designs, scripts, remaining faithful to the source material — and delivered a movie that won over most audiences, grossing nearly $320 million in America alone. But with Transformers 2 in development, Bay isn’t taking any more lip service.
“One thing I do know is I know how to screw them up more,” said Bay. “We’re going to leak a lot of false information all over the place. I now know their game. They’re going to get a lot of script treatments that they think are going to be the script. They will never see the script. We’ve got scripts and treatments written up that we’re going to leak. No one’s going to know.”
Scoopers who currently think they’re sitting on a hot one, here’s a head’s up. “There’s one out that’s fake right now. There are going to be many others.”
In the days leading up to the writer’s strike, Bay was in the trenches working on the sequel script. “Every day now. I’m excited about it. We’ve got Alex [Kurtzman] and Bob [Orci], the original writers, and we’ve got Ehren Kruger (Blood and Chocolate, The Ring), who’s a new writer coming in. We have three very good writers.”

So is the script done? And if its not are they still working on it or waiting till the strikes over?

As far as I know the script is not done and they will have to wait for the strike to pass.
Variety says that Transformers 2 didn’t make the strike deadline.

I dont understand the reason for doing this?

Because Bay doesn’t want to hear negative publicity?
It would seem to make more sense to purposely leak stuff so people can pick it apart. Like a focus group.

Oh.. so he hates the fanboys then? That seems kinda dumb, especially to go through all that trouble just for that.

[…] The full title for the Transformers sequel has been released. Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen sounds like a pretty weak name and surely many fans are hoping this is nothing but Bay’s disinfo. […]
