Hello, Mr Orci, thanks for coming to talk to us, I really enjoyed your involvement on the old (official, first) movie board.

What do you want this movie to do?

Thanks again.

In the original line-ups for the first movie there were some robots both sides that did not make the first film. Now we know Arcee will be in this one so could we expect some of the bots who did not appear in the first movie be in Transformers 2?

Maybe a couple

Now to my question:

How does one go about finding out who owns a property, and after the property's owner is found how does one purchase rights to that property to produce a film. I have a killer idea for an oldy but goody. With the way things are coming out of Tinseltown now, this will fit right in.

Edit: Okay...I just found out who owned the rights to this property. However they lost them at the end of 2007. I have a contact number but I am scared If I call to find out who owns the property now (if anyone) that they will re-purchase it with the intent to do what I want to do.....any suggestions.......

You mean you wanna call the people who lost the property to find out where it went?

Some choices came more about what vehicles we wanted, and worked backwards from what we needed for the story.

This is actually a curiosity I have about the first movie, so hopefully I can ask this without risking spoilers for the second. It relates to the cool little action moments such as Ironhide's slow-mo acrobatics, Bonecrusher's bodytackle of Prime and Starscream's vaulting under the bridge at the Hoover Dam.

Were there any cool action ideas like that that you thought of or scripted for Movie 1 but that didn't see the light of day due to budget/technical issues etc?

Many Thanks

Coolhand.

There were a a couple things we couldn't do for budget, but also because they seemed too "out there" to the studio. Some of those things we get to do in the second movie. After we see it, I'll point out which.
