Script Of Transformer 4 To Be Written By Ehren Kruger

Yay, so more adding of fan favourite characters who then get absolutely 0 screen time/personality!

Well. At least Sam might be gone for good.

IGN is reporting that Transformers 4 will be scripted by Ehren Kruger. Kruger wrote TF3 and helped out with TF2. Also, Paramount Film Group president, Adam Goodman has said that Shia LaBeouf will not be returning for the fourth movie. This makes it safe to assume that Rosie Huntington-Whiteley will not be returning as well. Goodman went on to say that "The story is going in a different direction now." So it seems like Kruger probably has an idea on a story and June 2014 can't come soon enough.

Sounds good to me. I liked Kruger's work in DotM. If I had to choose between him and Orci/Kurtzman, the latter two wouldn't even be in the running.

i have faith on him, seeign he have alot of knownledge on the mythology, i even had faith when he did DOTM

sounds promising! ill be looking forward to more news on this.

Fine by me.

Cool, and I wonder if he was responsible for Megatrons resurrection scene in TF2.

I am actually really looking forward to TF4 now that Shia isn't in it. Not that I don't like him, it's just that the story revolves so much around him you often forget you are watching Transformers and not "The Boy with the Alien Buddies".

I'll be interested in Movie news when Prime and Rescuebots have finished their current seasons, until then the Movie Universe can go hang - short of someone leaking vehicle mode pics.

I suppose a Cybertronian set movie is out of the question still.

I can't see how even a soft reboot would work if you go and kill most of your characters and chop their home planet in half.

Unless they come up with something bonkers like a plot revolving around Tiger Pax on the seafloor or in space. and come up with some second string villans like Clench or Straxus or Nemesis Prime/ Nova Prime to replace Megatron.

Tiger Pax could be a good way to get Dinosaurs into the mix though if they say it crashed in the Jurrasic period and they scanned Dinos for alt modes you can have Dinobots and characters like Magmatron then.

I'd not mind Magmatron as movie villan that would at least be visually interesting. you could have Predacons vs Movie Autobots and that would count as a different direction for sure. And if they looked partially organic people might see them more as Aliens rather than robots and then not be so bothered by them talking (which some casual people are supposedly for some odd reason).

I just Hope Bay does not hire someone who can't act or just shouts as his casting skills seem to be bordering on nonexistant so far.

Animated story arc for Megatron please! Head in a jar and all that jazz. A chunk of Cybertron was always missing in the cannon anyway right? So that's not too much of a stretch.

Hah.

All Shia being gone means is get ready for a movie about a NEW Boy with Alien Buddies.

Transformers 4, the return of jack Ryan, top gun 2 and a movie about the other famous ark? The lack of new shit coming out is depressing

C'mon Jessie Esienberg as Buster Witwicky. Papa needs a new pair of shoes!

I have mixed feelings about this. I prefer Orci/Kurtzman's work to Kruger's, as in comparing the two O/K had more epic scale and gave their characters a little moment of character (the Autobots at the Griffith Observatory, Jetfire at the Museum). On the other hand, Kruger made DOTM darker and more emotional (the Optimus-Sentinel scene at the Lincoln Memorial is a thumbs-up)

But then the TFilm sequels had problems in the writing dept: apart from short deadlines, ROTF had the writer's strike and Kruger seemed to have neglect plot points of the other two films (namely Megatron's chase for the AllSpark and Soundwave's new arrival in ROTF) in order to make DOTM work.

I really don't know which writers were better or bigger fans: Orci-Kurtzman are working on PRIME, and Kruger's been signed on for TFilm4. I just hope that Kruger can make TF4 as good as the first film was.

Some of my problems with the last two films were that the writers didn't seem to know how to use Megatron effectively.
New evil honchos had been developed, but it almost seemed like Hasbro had decreed that Megatron had to be in each film. Subsequently, The Fallen in particular, seemed under-developed in ROTF, while Megatron seemed incidental for most of DOTM.

Hopefully with Megatron dead (again), things will be easier to structure a story around.

Hahaha It looks like you read my blog

I don't think they knew how to use any of the robot characters effectively.

Huh?

What about the human characters?


I guess I'll wait until they reboot the whole franchise.

Wasn't impressed with this guy with DOTM, but it's hard to say it wasn't the "Bay way" that was the problem again.

Should be interesting to find out what's the "different direction".

Yeah, I was thinking about that too, but I'd love it if things focused more on Epps and Lennox if they are back. Those characters are actually cool.

That'd be great but according to rumours, these likeable characters won't be returning. If they go in and make a new teenaged sidekick cast a likeable actor with a likeable character.

Neither Sam nor Bumblebee will be the stars of TF4!

i still want Megatron, what i meant is that i have faith on someone who knows Transformers Very well

Ehren Kruger did a good job writing DOTM, so I think this could turn out well.

Oh god, that image above just makes me get that feeling that they'd probably introduce Drift into a future TF film because he's "cool".

And what I meant was that he doesn't know Transformers as well as you think.

maybe put kicker and his family in tf4

Dear merciful god no

kicker 's father found omega supeme and combiers

how you know?

Make it happen, Bay.

The proof is in the pudding.

Don't bother saying 'what' in response.

Transformers 4 Under Nick Movies? Seeing how Rango won an Oscar, this would be intresting.

uh? (u didnt said anything of uh lol)

And not a single fuck was given that day

Yay, another news credit! My life has meaning again!

UltraAlanMagnus, that has virtually nothing to do with each other. Nickelodeon releasing Rango and Rango winning an Oscar is inconsequential. Universal released/distributed Hulk. Universal also released/distributed Jurassic Park (which one three Oscars). Did that have any baring on Hulk's critical success? Not in the slightest.

If anything, Nickelodeon's involvement should raise questions about the "family friendly" nature that TF4 might display and how it could change the content of the movie or even advertising strategy used.

eagc, "the proof is in the pudding" is an expression. It basically means that something has to be experienced/seen/viewed/etc. in order to prove how good or bad it is. Nacht (and many others) believes that Ehren doesn't know as much about Transformers as you think, and his proof? Well, watch the last two movies. Think about the things that Ehren had included or removed and whatnot. Some people don't feel that Ehren did justice to movie, pertaining to the Transformers. The "proof" of his (relative) lack of knowledge regarding Transformers is evident in his work on the scripts. Personally? I prefer him to Orci/Kurtzman, and there are other writers I'd like to see have a whack at this, but Ehren is the lesser of two evils here.

Congrats eagc7, you finally learned to troll.

Tom Cruise as Spike! that would be awesome..

Everyone who was previously involved in these movies needs to be done away with. Lets start fresh with a new director, new writers, new everything.....cuz it all sucked before.

man, i can't wait for some family friendly robots.. i assume decepticons and autobots will have a conflict rather than a war. no deaths. bleh. i don't like the image i have in my head.

at least bay gave the movies some balls. .. literally and figuratively.

hell, I would just settle with a new director.

I see what you did there.

hmmm... Teenage ALIEN ninja turtles, eh?... maybe Bay will give it some "balls", or at least some "Taint" jokes? maybe he'll have the Victoria's Secret models audition by washing his car with that April O'Neil jumpsuit on.
