Transformers Forming Fast Spielberg says sequel coming soon.
by Todd Gilchrist



October 9, 2007 - Steven Spielberg, director of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, told IGN that Transformers 2 is rapidly being prepared for production. Spielberg, who executive-produced the first film, said that the story will be going out within the next 30 days.

The original Transformers followed the adventures of a young boy named Sam Witwicky (Shia LeBeouf) who finds himself caught up in an intergalactic struggle between two groups of shape-changing robots. Spielberg said that the producers want to get the film going before the possible Writer's Guild strike occurs.

Speaking from the set of Indy IV, Spielberg also said that Le Beouf will be returning to the role of Sam for "multiple" Transformers films.

Stay tuned to IGN for more news and updates about Transformers 2 and other exciting new projects!

where he stands? what do you mean...hes back directing again...im sure he'll update us.

but it would be great if he has heard the criticisms of the shaky cameras and the fact that some of the fighting was hard to decipher and that a lot of ppl wanted more wide shots with less shaky camera, and that he has heard that

I had no problems with either, I did not think it was too shaky and it made me feel as if I was actually there. I could follow along with the fighting just fine.

Not to surpriced actually, the basic guidelines for movie #2 was probably drafted during final production of movie #1.

I worded that wrong. My apologies, I was just wondering if he was going to come update us anytime soon.

True, I'm pretty observant as it is especially in my job we have to be but throughout the entire movie I was pretty much like this all the way.

If there trying to do all of this quickly before the strike do you think we might see this june 26th 2009 release date change to something a bit sooner? and as for the story coming in the next 30 days... i just creamed myself.

Im just happy as heaven that theres going to be a transformers 2 i mean its the greatest movie of all time, if i could get to the auditions i would be there faster then christ on crack lol, but i live in Australia, perhaps next time, anyways cheers for the update!

I didn't think the strike would be a factor. Bay's style involves so much adlibbing and improv that any script is really just a plot outline.

And the shaky close-ups bugged me a little at first, but on multiple viewings I just keep seeing more and more detail each time.
