Director Michael Bay said he was cautiously optimistic, but that he has been preparing to get a "Transformers" sequel into production, strike or no strike.
"We knew from early on that the writers strike could get ugly, and this has got to bring a little sanity to the situation," Bay said. "I can't do the movie without my writers, but I have been prepping. I'm not in the guild, but I've been writing every day. This strike (is) insane, and a director's responsibility is to the 50 crew members who depend on you for their livelihoods. We've got battle plans ready for the possibility of an actors strike. Somehow, you've got to keep the ball rolling."

More likely he's writing action scenes and maybe even a detailed outline of some sort. He did say he can't do the film without his writers. Either way, I hope this writers strike is resolved soon. If an agreement can be made with the Directors guild then there's no reason one can't be made with the WGA. |
