If TF2 is 90 minutes of solid CG with the dialogue not being much more than "You...!" and "PRANNGGG BOOM SPISH" I'll be campaigning to have Michael Bay personally autograph my copy.

I'm sure he's got the help of writers not in the guild, too. I don't find this news disturbing at all. On the contrary.
You use writers outside the guild, you never use guild writers in your company again. He gets found out for saying he's "writing" by the production boys, he'll likely get strung up by his heels.

I don't understand why people think Michael Bay can't write his own notes... The union isn't going to come in swat team style and steal his laptop just for writing ideas and plot points. He' doing exactly what he's supposed to be doing as a director, instead of just sitting on his ass wasting these months.

It's not like scripts are used word for word, the director has alot of input into what goes on and what is used anyways.

I just wonder what Bay's contingency plans are for the Writer's strike and any other potential future strikes. It sounds like he was prepared early on, but i guess we're all just wondering over how it is that he prepared. Good or bad could come of all this. Who knows. I hate being left in the dark.


All hail the mighty Black Convoy-Sama!

Maybe non union writers wouldn't try to shoe horn awkward teenage romance into a movie about giant frikken robots.

Hey, I hope the WGA strike is settled ASAP, but I'd be all for a SAG strike if it meant that none of that crappy cast from the first flick could stink up TF2.

Forget scripts and actors, Micheal Bay should make movies without film! That way, he can break all the glass he wants, and no one will ever be unfortunate enough to watch it. Everybody wins!
